Power tool use and care
uDo not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for your ap-
plication. The correct power tool will do the job better and safer at the
rate for which it was designed.
uDo 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.
uDisconnect the plug from the power source and/or remove the bat-
tery pack, if detachable, from the power tool before making any ad-
justments, changing accessories, or storing power tools. Such pre-
ventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool acci-
dentally.
uStore idle power tools out of the reach of children and do not allow
persons unfamiliar with the power tool or these instructions to oper-
ate the power tool. Power tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained
users.
uMaintain 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.
uKeep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools
with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
uUse 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 differ-
ent from those intended could result in a hazardous situation.
uKeep 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
uRecharge 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.
uUse power tools only with specifically designated battery packs. Use
of any other battery packs may create a risk of injury and fire.
