• Store idle power tools out of the reach of
children and do not allow persons unfamiliar
with the power tool or these instructions
to operate the power tool. Power tools are
dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
• Maintain power tools and accessories. Check for
misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage
of parts and any other condition that may affect
the power tool's operation. If damaged, have the
power tool repaired before use. Many accidents are
caused by poorly maintained power tools.
• Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly
maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges
are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
• Use the power tool, accessories, and tool bits
etc. in accordance with these instructions,
considering the working conditions and the
work to be performed. Use of the power tool for
operations different from those intended could
result in a hazardous situation.
• Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry, clean,
and free from oil and grease. Slippery handles and
grasping surfaces do not allow for safe handling
and control of the tool in unexpected situations.
BATTERY TOOL USE AND CARE
• Recharge only with the charger specified by
the manufacturer. A charger that is suitable for
one type of BATTERY pack may create a risk of fire
when used with another BATTERY pack.
• Use power tool only with specifically designated
BATTERY packs. Use of any other BATTERY packs
may create a risk of injury and fire.
• When BATTERY pack is not in use, keep it away
from other metal objects, like paper clip, coins,
keys, nails, screws, or other small metal objects,
that can make a connection from one terminal to
another. Shorting the BATTERY terminals together
may cause burns or a fire.
• Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected
from the BATTERY; avoid contact. If contact
accidentally occurs, flush with water. If liquid
contacts eyes, additionally seek medical help.
Liquid ejected from the BATTERY may cause
irritation or burns.
• Do not use a BATTERY pack or tool that is
damaged or modified. Damaged or modified
batteries may exhibit unpredictable behavior
resulting in fire, EXPLOSION, or risk of injury.
• Do not expose a BATTERY pack or tool to fire
or excessive temperature. Exposure to fire or
temperature above 265°F (130°C) may cause
explosion.
• Follow all charging instructions and do not
charge the BATTERY pack or tool outside the
temperature range specified in the instructions.
Charging improperly or at temperatures outside
the specified range may damage the battery and
