Ensure the switch is in the off posi-

 

tion before inserting battery pack.

 

Inserting the battery pack into power

 

tools that have the switch on invites

 

accidents.

24.

Recharge only with the charger speci-

 

fied by the manufacturer. A charger

 

that is suitable for one type of battery

 

pack may create a risk of fire when used

 

with another battery pack.

25.

WORK AREA SAFETY

1.Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite acci- dents.

2.Do not operate power tools in ex- plosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases, or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.

3.Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. Distrac- tions can cause you to lose control.

ELECTRICAL SAFETY

4.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. Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.

5.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.

6.Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.

7.Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling, or unplug- ging the power tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges, or mov- ing parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock.

8.When operating a power tool out- doors, use an extension cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of elec- tric shock.

PERSONAL SAFETY

9.Stay alert, watch what you are do- ing and use common sense when operating a power tool. Do not use a power tool while you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.

10.Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection. Safety equipment such as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.

11.Avoid accidental starting. Ensure the switch is in the off-position before plug- ging in. Carrying tools with your finger on the switch or plugging in power tools that have the switch on invites accidents.

12.Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the power tool on. A wrench or a key left attached to a rotat- ing part of the power tool may result in personal injury.

13.Do not overreach. Keep proper foot- ing and balance at all times. This enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations.

14.Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery, or long hair can be caught in moving parts.

15.If devices are provided for the connec- tion of dust extraction and collection facilities, ensure these are connected and properly used. Use of these de- vices can reduce dust-related hazards.

the power tool before making any

adjustments, changing accessories,

or storing power tools. Such preven-

tive safety measures reduce the risk of

starting the tool accidentally.

19. Store idle power tools out of the reach

of children and do not allow persons

unfamiliar with the power tools or

these instructions to operate power

tools. Power tools are dangerous in the

hands of untrained users.

20. 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.

21. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean.

Properly maintained cutting tools with

sharp cutting edges are less likely to

bind and are easier to control.

22. Use the power tool, accessories and

tool bits etc., in accordance with

these instructions and in the manner

intended for the particular type of

power tool, 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.

designated battery packs. Use of any

other battery packs may create a risk of

injury and fire.

26. 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.

27. Under abusive conditions, liquid may

be ejected from the battery, avoid

contact. If contact accidentally oc-

curs, flush with water. If liquid con-

tacts eyes, additionally seek medical

help. Liquid ejected from the battery

may cause irritation or burns.

SERVICE

28.Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair person using only identical replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.
