Power tool use and care
•Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for your application. The correct power tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was designed.
•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.
•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.
•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 tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
•Maintain power tools. Check for misalign- ment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any other condition that may affect the power tools operation. If dam- aged, have the power tool repaired before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained power tools.
•Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Prop- erly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
•Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc., in accordance with these instruc- tions, taking into account the working condi- tions and the work to be performed. Use of the power tool for operations different from those intended could result in a hazardous situation.
Battery tool use and care
•Recharge only with the charger specified 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.
•Use power tools only with specifically designated battery packs. Use of any other battery packs may create a risk of injury and fire.
•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 con- nection from one terminal to another. Short- ing the battery terminals together may cause burns or a fire.

•Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from the battery; avoid contact. If contact accidentally occurs, flush with water. If liquid contacts eyes, additionally seek medical help. Liquid ejected from the battery may cause irritation or burns.
Service
•Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair person using only identical replace- ment parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.
