dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust
or fumes.
-Keep children and bystanders away while operating a
power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.
.ECTRICAL SAFETY
-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. Unmodied plugs and matching
outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.
-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.
-Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water
entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
-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 entan-
gled cords increase the risk of electric shock.
-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.
-If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoid-
able, use a ground fault circuit. Interrupter (GFCI) protect-
ed supply. Use of a GFCI reduces the risk of electric shock.

USER MANUAL 5
.PERSONAL SAFETY
-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 inuence of drugs,
alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention while op-
erating power tools may result in serious personal injury.
-Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye pro-
tection. Protective equipment such as dust mask, non-skid
safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for ap-
propriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.
-Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the
off-position before connecting to power source and/ or bat-
tery pack, picking up or carrying the tool. Carrying power
tools with your nger on the switch or energizing power
tools that have the switch on invites accidents.
-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.
-Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all
times. This enables better control of the power tool in un-
expected situations.
-Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry.
Keep your hair, clothing, and gloves away from moving
parts. Loose clothes, jewelry or long hair can be caught in
moving parts.
-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-re-
lated hazards.

.POWERTOOL 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 the bat-
tery pack from the power tool before making any adjustments,
changing accessories, or storing power tools. Such preven-
tive 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 instruc-
tions to operate the power tool. Power tools are dangerous in
the hands of untrained users.
-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.
-Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cut-
ting 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 accor-
dance 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 intended could result
in a hazardous situation.

.BATTERY USE AND CARE
-Recharge only with the charger specied by the manufac-
turer. A charger that is suitable for one type of battery pack
may create a risk of re when used with another battery
pack.
-Use power tools only with specically designated battery
packs. Use of any other battery packs may create a risk of
injury and re.
-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 to-
gether may cause burns or a re.
-Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from the
battery; avoid contact. If contact accidentally occurs, ush
with water. If liquid contacts eyes, additionally seek medical
help. Liquid ejected from the battery may cause irritation or
burns.
.SERVICE
-Have your power tool serviced by a qualied repair person
using only identical replacement parts. This will ensure that
the safety of the power tool is maintained.
-Follow instruction for lubricating and changing accessories.
-Keep handles dry, clean and free from oil and grease.
