job better and safer at the rate for which it was designed.
2)Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it on and off. Any power tool that cannot be con- trolled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
3)Disconnect the plug from the pow- er source and/or the battery pack from the power tool before making any adjustments, changing acces- sories, or storing power tools.
Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the pow- er tool accidentally.
4)Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and do not al- low persons unfamiliar with the power tool or these instructions to operate the power tool.
Power tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
5)Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or binding of mov- ing parts, breakage of parts and any other condition that may af- fect the power tools operation. If damaged, have the power tool re- paired before use.
Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained power tools.
6)Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
7)Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc. in accordance with these instructions and in the manner intended for the particu- lar 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.
Battery Tool Use and Care
1)Ensure the switch is in the off posi- tion before inserting battery pack. Inserting battery pack into pow- er tools that have the switch on in- vites accidents.
2)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.
3)Use power tools only with specif- ically designated battery packs. Use of any other battery packs may create a risk of injury and fire.
4)When battery pack is not in use, keep it away from other metal ob- jects 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 to- gether may cause burns, or a fire.
5)Under abusive conditions, liq- uid may be ejected from battery; avoid contact. If contact acciden- tally occurs, flush with water. If liquid contacts eyes, additionally seek medical help.
Liquid ejected from the battery may cause irritation or burns.
Service
1)Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair person using only identical replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of power tool is maintained.
. SPECIFIC SAFE-
TY RULES
1)Wear ear protectors. Exposure to noise can cause hearing loss.
2)Use auxiliary handles supplied with the tool. Loss of control can cause personal injury.
3)Hold power tools by insulated grip- ping surfaces when performing an operation where the cutting tool may contact hidden wiring.
Contact with a “live” wire will make exposed metal parts of the tool “live” and shock the operator.
4)Be aware that this tool is always in an operating condition, since it does not have to be plugged into an elec- trical outlet.
5)If the bit becomes jammed, imme- diately turn the trigger switch off to prevent an overload which can damage the battery pack or mo- tor. Use reverse motion to loosen jammed bits.
