Personal safety:
a) Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a powertool.
Do not use a power tool while you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcoholor
medication. Amoment of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.
b) Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection. Protective equipmentsuch
as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for appropriate conditions
will reduce personalinjuries.
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 connecting the power tool to a power supply while the switch is set to “on” may
lead toaccidents.
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 personalinjury.
e) Take care to keep a normal body position. Maintain a stable stance and balance at alltimes.
This enables better control of the power tool in unexpectedsituations.
f) Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or iewellery. Keep your hair and clothing away
from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be caught in movingparts.
g) If there is an option for installing dust suction devices and dust containers, these shouldbe
attached and used correctly. Use of dust collection can reduce dust-relatedhazards.
h) Do not be lulled into a false sense of security and ignore the safety rules for powertools,
even if you are well acquainted with power tools, having used them frequently. Usingpower
tools without due care and attention can cause serious injuries in a split second.
Power tool use and care:
a) Do not overload the power tool. Use the correct power tool for your application. Thecorrect
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 thatcannot
be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must berepaired.
c) Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or remove the rechargeable battery from the
power tool before making any adjustments, changing insertion tools or storing the power tool.
Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.
d) Store idle power tools out of the reach of children. Do not let any individual who is not
familiar with the power tool or who has not read these instructions operate this power tool.
Powertools are dangerous in the hands of untrainedusers.
e) Maintain power tools and insertion tools with care. Check for misalignment or bindingof
moving parts, breakage of parts and any other condition that may affect the powertool’s
operation. If any parts of the power tool are damaged, have them repaired before use.Many
accidents are caused by poorly maintained powertools.
f) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges
are less likely to bind and are easier tocontrol.
g) Use the power tool, accessories and fitted tools etc. in accordance with theseinstructions,
taking into account the working conditions and the work to be performed. Use of the powertool
for operations different from those intended could result in a hazardous situation.
h) Keep handles and handle surfaces dry, clean and free from oil and grease. Slipperyhandles
and handle surfaces will prevent you from operating and controlling the power tools safelyin
unforeseen situations.
Cordless tool use and care:
a)Onlycharge the rechargeable batteries with chargers recommended by the manufacturer.
Chargers designed for a particular rechargeable battery type pose a risk of fire if used with other
types of rechargeable battery.
b)Only use the rechargeable batteries designated for use in power tools. Usingother
rechargeable batteries may result in injury and a risk offire.
c)Keep the unused rechargeable battery away from paper clips, coins, keys, nails, screws or
other small metallic objects that could bridge the contacts. Ashort circuit between the contacts
of the rechargeable battery could result in burns orfire.
