•
Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres,
such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases or
dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust
or fumes.
•
Keep children and bystanders away while operating a
power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.
•
To reduce the risk of electrocution, never use the
power tool near any electrical power lines. Contact
with or use near power lines may cause serious injury or
electric shock resulting in death.
•
Always use two hands when operating the power tool.
Hold the power tool with both hands to avoid loss of
control.
3.2
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
•
Do not expose power tools to rain or wet
conditions.Water entering a power tool will increase the
risk of electric shock.
3.3
PERSONAL SAFETY
•
Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common
sense when operating a power tool. Do not use a
power tool while you are tired or under the influence
of drugs, alcohol or medication. A lapse of attention
while operating power tools may result in serious
personal injury.
•
Use personal protection. Always wear eye protection.
Protective products such as dust mask, non-skid safety
shoes, hard hat or hearing protection used appropriately
will reduce personal injuries.
•
Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in
the off position before connecting to power source
and/or battery pack and when picking up or carrying
the tool. Carrying power tools with your finger on the
switch or energizing power tools that have the switch on
invites accidents.

Do not over-reach. Keep proper footing and balance
at all times. This enables better control of the power tool
in unexpected situations.

POWER TOOL USE AND CARE
•
Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power
tool for your application. The correct power tool will do
the job better and safer at the rate for which it was
designed.
•
Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it
on and off. Any power tool that cannot be controlled with
the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
•
Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or the
battery pack from the power tool before making any
adjustments, changing accessories, or storing power
English
tools. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of
starting the power tool accidentally.
•
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. 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, taking into
account 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.
3.5
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 tools 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 clips, 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 fire.
•
Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from
the battery; avoid contact. If contact accidentally
occurs, flush with plenty of soap and water. If liquid
contacts eyes, immediately seek medical help. Liquid
ejected from the battery may cause irritation or burns.
