General Power Tool Safety Warnings

WARNING: Read all safety warnings and instructions.Failure to follow the warnings and instruc-

tions may result in electric shock, ﬁre and/or serious injury.

Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.

The term “power tool” in the warnings refer to your electric (corded) power tool or battery-operated(-

cordless) power tool.

Explanation of the warning signs on the equipment (see Fig. 5)

1: Warning!

2: WARNING – To reduce the risk of injury, user must read instruction manual!

3: Wear eye and ear and head protection!

4: Wear protective gloves!

5: Wear safety footwear!

6: Do not expose to rain!

7: Keep bystanders away!

1) Work area safety

a) Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.

b) 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.

c) Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to

lose control.

2) Electrical safety

a) Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter

plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools. Unmodiﬁed plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk

of electric shock.

b) Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges and

refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is earthed or grounded.

c) Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool wil l increase the

risk of electric shock.

d) Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging the power tool.

Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts.

Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock.

e) When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for outdoor use.

Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.

f) If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a residual current device(RCD)

protected supply. Use of an RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.

3) Personal safety

a) 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

moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.

b) Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection. Protective equipment such as

dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for appropriate conditions

will reduce personal injuries.

c) Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the off-position before connecting to power

source and/or battery pack, picking up or carrying the tool. Carrying power tools with your ﬁnger on

the switch or energising power tools that have the switch on invites accidents.

d) Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the power tool on. A wrench or a key left

attached to a rotating part of the power tool may result in personal injury.

e) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better control of the

power tool in unexpected situations.

f) Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away

from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be caught in moving parts.

g) If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and collection facilities,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 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.

b) 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.

c) 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 tools. Such preventive safety

measures 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 unfamiliar with the

power tool or these instructions to operate the power tool.Power tools are dangerous in the hands

of untrained users.

e) 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.

f) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean.Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are

less likely to bind and are easier to control.

g) Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc. in accordance with these instruction, taking

into account the working conditions and the work to be performed. Use of the power tool for opera-

tions different from those intended could result in a hazardous situation.

h) Store idle Appliances Indoors - When not in use, appliances should be stored indoors in dry,and

high or locked-up place - out of reach of children.

5) Battery tool use and care

a) Replace 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.

b) Use power tools only with speciﬁcally designated battery packs. Use of any other 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 connection 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 acci-

dentally occurs, ﬂush with water. If liquid contacts eyes, additionally seek medical help.Liquid

ejected from the battery may cause irritation or burns.

e) Do not charge appliance in rain, or in wet locations.

f) Do not use battery-operated appliance in rain.

g) Use only the authorized battery.

h) Do not dispose of the battery in a ﬁre. The cell may explode. Check with local codes for possible

special disposal instructions.

i) Do not open or mutilate the battery. Released electrolyte is corrosive and may cause damage to

the eyes or skin. It may be toxic if swallowed.

j) Exercise care in handling batteries in order not to short the battery with

conducting materials such as rings, bracelets, and keys. The battery or conductor may overheat and

cause burns.

6) Service

a) Have 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.

Information about the battery

1.The battery pack supplied with your cordless tool is not charged. The battery pack has to be

charged before you use the tool for the ﬁrst time.

2.For optimum battery performance avoid low discharge cycles. Charge the battery pack frequently.

3.Store the battery pack in a cool place, ideally at 15°C and charged to at least 40%.

4. Lithium-ion batteries are subject to a natural ageing process. The battery pack must be replaced

at the latest when its capacity falls to just 80% of its capacity when new. Weakened cells in an aged

battery pack are no longer capable of meeting the high power requirements and therefore pose a

safety risk.

5.Do not throw battery packs into an open ﬁre. There is a risk of explosion!

6.Do not ignite the battery pack or expose it to ﬁre.

7.Do not exhaustively discharge batteries. Exhaustive discharge will damage the battery cells.The

most common cause of exhaustive discharge is lengthy storage or non-use of partly discharged

batteries. Stop working as soon as the performance of the battery falls noticeably or the electronic

protection system triggers. Place the battery pack in storage only after it has been fully charged.

8.Protect batteries and the tool from overloads.Overloads will quickly result in overheating and cell

damage inside the battery housing without this overheating actually being apparent externally.

9. Avoid damage and shocks. Replace batteries which have been dropped from a height of more

than one meter or which have been exposed to violent shocks without delay, even if the housing of

the battery pack appears to be undamaged. The battery cells inside the battery may have suffered

serious damage. In this respect, please also read the waste disposal information.

10.If the battery pack suffers overloading and overheating, the integrated protective cut-off will

switch o ff the equipment for safety reasons.Important. Do not press the ON/OFF switch any more

if the protective cut-off has actuated. This may damage the battery pack.

11.Use only original battery packs. The use of other batteries may result in injuries, explosion and a

ﬁre risk.

Information on chargers and the charging process

1. Please check the data marked on the rating plate of the battery charger. Be sure to connect the

battery charger to a power supply with the voltage marked on the rating plate. Never connect it to a

different mains voltage.

2. Protect the battery charger and its cable from damage and sharp edges. Have damaged cables

repaired without delay by a qualiﬁed electrician.

3. Keep the battery charger, batteries and the cordless tool out of children’s reach.

4. Do not use damaged battery chargers.

5. Do not use the supplied battery charger to charge other cordless tools.

6. In heavy use the battery pack will become warm. Allow the battery pack to cool to room

temperature before commencing with the charging.

7. Do not over-charge batteries. Do not exceed the maximum charging times. These charging times

only apply to discharged batteries. Frequent insertion of a charged or partly charged battery pack

will result in over-charging and cell damage. Do not leave batteries in the charger for days on end.

8. Never use or charge batteries if you suspect that the last time they were charged was more than

9.Charging batteries at a temperature below 10°C will cause chemical damage to the cell and may

cause a ﬁre.

10.Do not use batteries which have heated during the charging process, as the battery cells may

have suffered dangerous damage.

11.Do not use batteries which have suffered curvature or deformation during the charging process

or which show other non-typical symptoms (gassing, hissing, cracking,…)

12.Never fully discharge the battery pack (recommended depth of discharge max. 80%) A complete

discharge of the battery pack will lead to premature ageing of the battery cells.

13.Never charge the batteries unsupervised.

• The vibration emission level has been measured in accordance with a set of standardized criteria

and can be used to compare one power tool with another.

• The speciﬁed emission level can also be used to make an initial assessment of the exposure to

vibrations.

• The vibration emission level may vary from the level speciﬁed during actual use, depending on the

way in which the power tool issued.

• Try to keep the impact from vibrations as low as possible. Exposure to vibrations can be reduced

by wearing gloves when using the tool,for example, and by limiting the amount of operating time.

This includes the full cycle of operation (e.g. times when the power tool is switched off and times

when the tool is switched on but no working load is applied).
