uKeep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly main-
tained 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 ac-
count the working conditions and the work to be per-
formed. Use of the power tool for operations different
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 manu-
facturer. A charger that is suitable for one type of bat-
tery pack may create a risk of fire when used with another
battery pack.
uUse power tools only with specifically designated bat-
tery packs. Use of any other battery packs may create a
risk of injury and fire.
uWhen 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 a fire.
uUnder abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from
the battery; avoid contact. If contact accidentally oc-
curs, flush with water. If liquid contacts eyes, addi-
tionally seek medical help. Liquid ejected from the bat-
tery may cause irritation or burns.
uDo not use a battery pack or tool that is damaged or
modified. Damaged or modified batteries may exhibit
unpredictable behaviour resulting in fire, explosion or risk
of injury.
uDo not expose a battery pack or tool to fire or excess-
ive temperature. Exposure to fire or temperature above
130°C may cause explosion.
uFollow 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 increase the risk of fire.
Service
uHave your power tool serviced by a qualified repair
person using only identical replacement parts. This
will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.
uNever service damaged battery packs. Service of bat-
tery packs should only be performed by the manufacturer
or authorized service providers.
Safety instructions for planers
uWait for the cutter to stop before setting the tool
down. An exposed rotating cutter may engage the sur-
face leading to possible loss of control and serious injury.
uUse clamps or another practical way to secure and
support the workpiece to a stable platform. Holding
the workpiece by your hand or against the body leaves it
unstable and may lead to loss of control.
uOnly bring the power tool into contact with the work-
piece when switched on. Otherwise there is danger of
kickback if the cutting tool jams in the workpiece.
uDo not allow the chip ejector to come into contact with
your hands. You may be injured by rotating parts.
uNever plane over metal objects, nails or screws. Cut-
ters and cutter shafts could become damaged and cause
increased vibration.
uUse suitable detectors to determine if there are hid-
den supply lines or contact the local utility company
for assistance. Contact with electric cables can cause
fire and electric shock. Damaging gas lines can lead to ex-
plosion. Breaking water pipes causes property damage.
uWhile working, always hold the planer in such a way
that the planer base plate lies flat against the work-
piece. Otherwise the planer could slip and cause injury.
uIn case of damage and improper use of the battery, va-
pours may be emitted. The battery can set alight or ex-
plode. Ensure the area is well ventilated and seek medical
attention should you experience any adverse effects. The
vapours may irritate the respiratory system.
uDo not open the battery. There is a risk of short-circuit-
ing.
uThe battery can be damaged by pointed objects such
as nails or screwdrivers or by force applied externally.
An internal short circuit may occur, causing the battery to
burn, smoke, explode or overheat.
uOnly use the battery with products from the manufac-
turer. This is the only way in which you can protect the
battery against dangerous overload.
Protect the battery against heat, e.g. against
continuous intense sunlight, fire, dirt, water
and moisture. There is a risk of explosion and
short-circuiting.
uHold the power tool firmly with both hands and make
sure you have a stable footing. The power tool can be
more securely guided with both hands.
