 WARNING
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 re-
move the battery pack, if detachable, from the power 
tool before making any adjustments, changing acces-
sories, or storing power 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 and accessories. Check for mis-
alignment 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 be-
fore 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 ac-
cordance 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 in-
tended could result in a hazardous situation.
Keep 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
Recharge only with the charger specified by the manu-
facturer.
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 bat-
tery 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 
a fire.
Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from 
the battery; avoid contact. If contact accidentally oc-
curs, flush with water. If liquid contacts eyes, addition-
ally seek medical help.
Liquid ejected from the battery may cause irritation or burns.
Do 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.
Do not expose a battery pack or tool to fire or excessive 
temperature.
Exposure to fire or temperature above 130°C may cause ex-
plosion.
Follow 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 speci-
fied range may damage the battery and increase the risk of 
fire.
Service
Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair per-
son using only identical replacement parts.
This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is main-
tained.
Never service damaged battery packs. 
Service of battery packs should only be performed by the 
manufacturer or authorized service providers.
The vibration during actual use of the machine can differ from
the declared total value depending on the ways in which the
tool is used; and of the need to identify safety measures to pro-
tect the operator that are based on an estimation of exposure
in the actual conditions of use (taking account of all parts of the
operating cycle such as the times when the machine is
switched off and when it is running idle in addition to the trigger
time).
