b)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.

c)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 preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.

d)Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and do not allow persons unfamiliar with the power tool or these instructions to operate the power tool. Power to- ols are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.

e)Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or bin- ding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any other condition that may affect the power tools operation. If damaged, have the power tool repaired before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained power tools.

f)Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintai- ned cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.

g)Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc. in ac- cordance with these instructions and in the manner in- tended for the particular type of power tool, taking into account the working conditions and the work to be per- formed. Use of the power tool for operations different from those intended could result in a hazardous situation.

5) Battery tool use and care

a)Ensure the switch is in the off position before insert- ing battery pack. Inserting the battery pack into power tools that have the switch on invites accidents.

b)Recharge only with the charger specified by the manu- facturer. A charger that is suitable for one type of battery pack may create a risk of fire when used with another battery pack.

c)Use power tools only with specifically designated bat- tery packs. Use of any other battery packs may create a risk of injury and fire.

d)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.

e)Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from the battery; avoid contact. If contact accidentally oc- curs, flush with water. If liquid contacts eyes, addition- ally seek medical help. Liquid ejected from the battery may cause irritation or burns.

6) Service

a)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.

CHARGING BATTERY (fig. A)

• Battery of new tools is not fully charged.

!Remove battery from charger after charging period has

ended thereby lengthening the service life of the battery.

IMPORTANT:

After 3 hours the charging operation will be completed, and the battery may be used, even though the red light may still be on (the red light may require more than 3 hours to turn off).

While charging, the charger and the battery may become warm to touch; this is normal and does not indicate a prob- lem.

Ensure that the outside surface of the battery is clean and dry before inserting into charger.

Do not charge at temperatures below 0 °C and over 40 °C; this will seriously damage the battery as well as the charger.

Do not remove battery from tool while it is running

When you charge the battery for the first time, it only ac- cepts 80% of its maximum capacity; after several charges and discharges, however, the batteries should be at full ca- pacity and deliver maximum performance.
