GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY WARNINGS
WARNING!
instructions. Failure to follow the war nings and in-
structions may result in electric shock, fire and/or seri-
ous injury.
Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.
The term "power tool" in the warnings refers to your battery-
operated (cordless) power tool.
1) Work area safety
a) Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark ar-
eas invite accidents.
b) Do not operate power tools in explosive at -
mospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liq-
uids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks which
may ignite the dust or fumes.
c) Keep children and bystanders away while operating
a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.
2) Electrical safety
a) Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded sur -
faces, such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refriger-
ators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your
body is earthed or grounded.
b) Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions.
Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of elec-
tric shock.
3) Personal safety
a) Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use com-
mon sense when operating a power tool. Do not use
a power tool while you are tired or under the influ-
ence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of
inattention while operating power tools may result in seri-
ous personal injury.
b) Use personal protective equipment. Always wear
eye protection. Protective equipment such as dust mask,
non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection
used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal in-
juries.
c) Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure that the battery
is not in its compartment before picking up or carrying the
power tool. Carrying a power tool with the battery can
cause accidents.

d) Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning
the power tool on. A wrench or a key left attached to a
rotating part of the power tool may result in personal injury.
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 jew-
ellery. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away
from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair
can be caught in moving parts.
g) If devices are provided for the connection of dust ex-
traction and collection facilities, ensure these are
connected and properly used. Use of dust collection
can reduce dust-related hazards.
4) Power tool use and care
a) Do not force the power tool. Use the correct po wer
tool for your application. The correct po wer tool will do
the job better and safer at the rate for which it was de-
signed.
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) Remove the accumulator from its compartment be-
fore making any adjustments, changing accessories,
or storing the power tool. Such preventive safety meas-
ures 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 ob-
struction of moving parts, breakage of parts and any
other condition that may affect the power tool's op-
eration. If damaged, have the power tool repaired be-
fore use. Many accidents are caused by poorly main-
tained power tools.
f) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly main-
tained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely
to become jammed and are easier to control.
g) Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc. in
accordance with these instructions, ta king into ac-
count the working conditions and the work to be
performed. Using the power tool for operations other
than those intended could result in a hazardous situation.
5) Service
a) Have your power tool serviced by a qualified re pair
person using only identical replacement parts. This
will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.
