g) If devices are provided for the connection 
of dust extraction and collection facili-
ties, ensure these are connected and 
properly used. Use of dust collection can 
reduce dust-related hazards.
4) Power tool use and care
a) Do not force the power tool. Use the cor-
rect power tool for your application. The 
correct power tool will do the job better 
and safer at the rate for which it is de-
signed.
b) Do not use the power tool if the switch 
does not turn it on or off. Any power tool 
that cannot be controlled with the switch 
is dangerous and must be repaired.
c) Disconnect the plug from the power 
source and/or the battery pack from the 
power tool before making any adjust-
ments, changing accessories, or storing 
power tools. Such preventive safety mea-
sures reduce the risk of starting the power 
tool accidentally.
d) Store idle power tools out of the reach of 
children and do not allow persons unfa-
miliar with the power tool or these in-
structions to operate the power tool. 
Power tools are dangerous in the hands of 
untrained users.
e) Maintain power tools. Check for misalign-
ment or binding of moving parts, break-
age 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.
f) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Prop-
erly maintained cutting tools with sharp 
cutting edges are less likely to bind and are 
easier to control.
g) Use the power tool, accessories, tool bits 
etc. in accordance with these instruc-
tions, taking into account the working 
conditions and the work to be performed. 
Use of the power tool for operations differ-
ent from those intended could result in a 
hazardous situation.
5) Battery tool use and care
a) 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 anoth-
er battery pack.
b) Use power tools only with specifically 
designated battery packs. Use of any oth-
er battery packs may create a risk of injury 
and fire.
c) 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 con-
nection from one terminal to another. 
Shorting the battery terminals together 
may cause burns or a fire.
d) Under abusive conditions, liquid may be 
ejected from the battery; avoid contact. If 
contact accidentally occurs, flush with 
water. In liquid contacts eyes, additional-
ly seek medical help. Liquid ejected from 
the battery may cause irritation or burns.
6) Service
a) Have your power tool serviced by a quali-
fied repair person using only identical re-
placement parts. This will ensure that the 
safety of the power tool is maintained.
Power Tool-specific Safety 
Warnings
fUse suitable detectors to determine if utility 
lines are hidden in the work area or call the 
local utility company for assistance. Contact 
with electric lines can lead to fire and electric 
shock. Damaging a gas line can lead to explo-
sion. Penetrating a water line causes property 
damage.
fSwitch off the power tool immediately when 
the tool insert jams. Be prepared for high re-
action torque that can cause kickback. The 
tool insert jams when: 
–the power tool is subject to overload or
–it becomes wedged in the workpiece.
