4.  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.
5.  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.
6. If operating a power tool in a damp location is 
unavoidable, use a ground fault circuit inter-
rupter (GFCI) protected supply. Use of a GFCI 
reduces the risk of electric shock.
Personal Safety
1. 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 inuence of drugs, alcohol or med-
ication. A moment of inattention while operating 
power tools may result in serious personal injury.
2. 
Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye 
protection. Protective equipment such as a dust mask, 
non-skid safety shoes, hard hat or hearing protection used 
for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.
3. Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the 
switch is in the o-position before connecting 
to power source and/or battery pack, picking 
up or carrying the tool. Carrying power tools with 
your nger on the switch or energising power tools 
that have the switch on invites accidents.
4.  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.
5.  Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and 
balance at all times. This enables better control 
of the power tool in unexpected situations.
6. Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or 
jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing, and gloves 
away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewel-
lery or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
7. 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.
Power tool use and care
1. 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.
2. 
Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn 
it on and o. Any power tool that cannot be controlled 
with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
3. 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 pre-
ventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting 
the power tool accidentally.
4.  Store idle power tools out of the reach of chil-
dren 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.
5.  Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment 
or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts 
and any other condition that may aect the 
power tool’s operation. If damaged, have the 
power tool repaired before use. Many accidents 
are caused by poorly maintained power tools.
6. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly 
maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges 
are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
7. Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits 
etc. in accordance with these instructions, tak-
ing into account the working conditions and 
the work to be performed. Use of the power tool 
for operations dierent from those intended could 
result in a hazardous situation.
Battery tool use and care
1. Recharge only with the charger specied by 
the manufacturer. A charger that is suitable for 
one type of battery pack may create a risk of re 
when used with another battery pack.
2. Use power tools only with specically desig-
nated battery packs. Use of any other battery 
packs may create a risk of injury and re.
3. 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 termi-
nals together may cause burns or a re.
4.  Under abusive conditions, liquid may be 
ejected from the battery; avoid contact. If con-
tact accidentally occurs, ush with water. If 
liquid contacts eyes, additionally seek medical 
help. Liquid ejected from the battery may cause 
irritation or burns.
5.  Do not use a battery pack or tool that is dam-
aged or modied. Damaged or modied batteries 
may exhibit unpredictable behaviour resulting in 
re, explosion or risk of injury.
6. Do not expose a battery pack or tool to re or 
excessive temperature. Exposure to re or tem-
perature above 130 °C may cause explosion.
7. Follow all charging instructions and do not 
charge the battery pack or tool outside the 
temperature range specied in the instruc-
tions. Charging improperly or at temperatures 
outside the specied range may damage the 
battery and increase the risk of re.
Service
1. Have your power tool serviced by a qualied 
repair person using only identical replacement 
parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power 
tool is maintained.
2. Follow instruction for lubricating and chang-
ing accessories.
3. Keep handles dry, clean and free from oil and 
grease.
4.  Do not modify or attempt to repair the appli-
ance or the battery pack except as indicated in 
the instructions for use and care.
