Remove adjusting keys or wrenches before turning
the tool on. A wrench or a key that is left attached to a rotating part of the tool may result in personal injury.
Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and bal- ance at all times. Proper footing and balance enable better control of the tool in unexpected situations.
Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protec- tion. Dust mask must be used for appropriate con- ditions.
Tool Use and Care
Do not force tool. Use the correct tool for your application. The correct tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it is designed.
Do not use tool if switch does not turn it on or off. A tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
Disconnect battery pack from tool or place the switch in the locked or off position before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing the tool. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the tool accidentally.
Store idle tools out of reach of children and other untrained persons. Tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
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 sparks, burns, or a fire.
Maintain tools with care. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained tools with sharp cutting edge are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, and any other condition that may affect the tool's operation. If damaged, have the tool serviced before using. Many acci- dents are caused by poorly maintained tools.
Use only accessories that are recommended by the manufacturer for your model. Accessories that may be suitable for one tool may create a risk of injury when used on another tool.
Service
Tool service must be performed only by qualified repair personnel. Service or maintenance per- formed by unqualified personnel may result in a risk of injury.
When servicing a tool, use only identical replace- ment parts. Follow instructions in the Maintenance section of this manual. Use of unau- thorized parts or failure to follow Maintenance Instructions may create a risk of shock or injury.
Safety Rules for Cordless Rotary Tools
Accessories must be rated for at least the speed recommended on the tool warning label. Other accessories running over rated speed can fly apart and cause injury.
Hold tool by insulated gripping surfaces when per- forming an operation where the cutting tool may contact hidden wiring. Contact with a "live" wire will make exposed metal parts of the tool "live" and shock the operator. If cutting into existing walls or other
blind areas where electrical wiring may exist is unavoidable, disconnect all fuses or circuit breakers feeding this worksite.
Before changing accessories remove battery pack. Accidental starting may occur because battery tools with a battery inserted are in the operative condition.
Be aware of the switch location, when placing the tool down or when picking the tool up. You may accidentally activate the switch.
