| e) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables |
| better control of the power tool in unexpected situations. |
| f) Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Keep your hair, clothing |
| and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry or long hair can be |
| caught in moving parts. |
| g) If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and collection |
| facilities, ensure these are connected and properly used. Use of dust collection |
| can reduce |
4) Power tool use and care | |
| a) 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. |
| 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 tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users. |
| e) 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. |
| f) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained 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 accordance with these |
| instructions, 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. |
5) Battery tool use and care | |
| a) 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. |
| b) Use power tools only with specifically designated battery packs. Use of any |
| other battery packs may create a risk of injury and fire. |
| c) 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. |
| d) 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. |
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. |
Specific Safety Rules | |
• | Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces, when performing an operation where the |
| cutting accessory may contact hidden wiring. Cutting accessory contacting a “live” wire may |
• | make exposed metal parts of the power tool “live” and could give the operator an electric shock. |
Use auxiliary handle(s) if supplied with the tool. Loss of control can cause personal | |
• | injury. |
Use clamps or another practical way to secure and support the work piece to a stable | |
| platform. Holding the work by hand or against your body leaves it unstable and may lead to |
• | loss of control. |
When not in use, place tool on its side on a stable surface where it will not cause a | |
| tripping or falling hazard. Some tools with large battery packs will stand upright but may be |
• | easily knocked over. |
Keep your hair, clothing, and gloves away from air vents. Air vents often cover | |
• | moving parts in which these items can be caught. |
Hold tool firmly with two hands, one hand on the handle, and the other gripping the bottom | |
around the battery area. Use auxiliary handle if provided. Loss of control can cause personal injury.
