RULES FOR SAFE OPERATION
WARNING
When using battery operated tools, basic safety precautions should always be followed to reduce the risk of fire, leaking batteries and personal injury, including the following: Read all these instructions before operating this product and save these instructions.
■Keep your work area clean and well lit. Cluttered benches and dark areas invite accidents.
■Consider work area environment. Do not expose tools to rain. Do not use tools in damp or wet locations. Do not use tools where there is risk to cause fire or shock.
■Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases, or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
■Keep bystanders, children, and visitors away while operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.
■Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a power tool. Do not use tool while tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol, or medication. A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.
■Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Contain long hair. Keep your hair, clothing, and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry, or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
■Do not abuse the supply cord. Never carry the charger by the cord or yank it to disconnect it from the socket. Keep the cord away from heat, oil and sharp edges.
■Secure work. Use clamps or a vice to hold the work. It is safer than using your hand and it frees both hands to operate the tool.
■Maintain tool with care. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean for better and safer performance. Follow instructions for lubrication and changing accessories. Inspect tool cord periodically and if damaged have it repaired by an authorized service facility. Keep handles dry, clean and free from oil and grease.
■Check damaged parts. Before further use of the tool, a guard or other part that is damaged should be carefully checked to determine that it will operate properly and perform its intended function.
Check for alignment of moving parts, free running of moving parts, breakage of parts, mounting and any other conditions that may affect its operation.
A guard or other part that is damaged should be properly repaired or replaced by an authorized service centre unless otherwise indicated in this instruction manual. Have defective switches replaced by an authorized service facility. Do not use the tool if the switch does not turn it on and off.
■Avoid accidental starting. Be sure switch is in the locked or off position before inserting battery pack. Carrying tools with your finger on the switch or inserting the battery pack into a tool with the switch on, invites accidents.
■Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. Proper footing and balance enable better control of the tool in unexpected situations. Do not use on a ladder or unstable support.
■Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection. Dust mask, nonskid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection must be used for appropriate conditions.
■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.
■Disconnect battery pack from tool or place the switch in the lock off position before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing the tool. Such preventive safety measures reduce 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.
■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.
■When servicing a tool, use only identical replacement parts. Use of unauthorized parts or failure to follow Maintenance Instructions may create a risk of shock or injury.
■Have your tool repaired by a qualified person. This tool is in accordance with the relevant safety requirements. Repairs should only be carried out by qualified persons using original spare parts, otherwise this may result in considerable danger to the user.
■Battery tools do not have to be plugged into an electrical outlet; therefore, they are always in operating condition. Be aware of possible hazards when not using your battery tool or when changing accessories. Following this rule will reduce the risk of electric shock, fire, or serious personal injury.
