• In the event of a power interruption, switch off the
product and remove the battery. This prevents
accidental start up of the product when power is
restored.
• In the event of a power interruption, and every
time you set down the product, check to see whe-
ther the locking button is locked, and lock if it is
not. Otherwise the product may start up unexpec-
tedly when power is applied.
• In the event that the connection cable (charger)
is damaged, it may only be replaced by a specia-
list.
• When operating a power tool outdoors, use an
extension cord suitable for outdoor use.
Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces
the risk of electric shock.
• If the operation of an power tool in a damp envi-
ronment is absolutely unavoidable, use a resi-
dual current circuit-breaker with a trigger current
of 30 mA or less. Use of an RCD reduces the risk
of electric shock. NOTE: The term "residual cur-
rent device (RCD)" may be replaced by the term
"ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI)" or "earth
leakage circuit breaker (ELCB)".
• Do not force the product. Use the appropriate
power tool for the task in hand. 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 remove the battery pack before making any
settings, changing accessories, or storing the
product. These safety measures prevent the pro-
duct from being started unintentionally.
• Store power tools that are not in use out of the
reach of children. Do not allow persons to ope-
rate the product who are not familiar with it, or
who have not read these operating instructions.
Power tools are dangerous in the hands of untrai-
ned users.
• Maintain power tools with care. Check for misa-
lignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of
parts and any other condition that may affect the
power tool's operation. Have damaged parts
repaired before using the product.
Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained
power tools.
• Use the power tool, accessories and other tools
etc., in accordance with these instructions. Take
account of the working conditions and the task to
be carried out.

• Use of the power tool for purposes for which it
was not intended may result in a hazardous situ-
ation.
• Remove any adjusting key or wrench before tur-
ning the product on. A tool or wrench in one of the
rotating parts of the product may cause injury.
• If you have your finger on the switch when carry-
ing the power tool, this may lead to accidents.
