the power tool before making any
adjust -ments, changing accesso-
ries, or storing power tools. Such
preventive safety measures reduce
the risk of starting the power tool ac-
cidentaIly.
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 oper-
ate 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 Iikely 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 haz-
ardous situation.
5) CAREFUL HANDLING AND USE OF
BATTERY DEVICES
a) Charge the batteries only in charg-
ers that are recommended by the
manufacturer. Risk of fire if a charger
that is suitable for a specific type of
battery is used with other batteries.
b) In the power tools, use only the
batteries designed for the purpose.

The use of other batteries may result
in injuries and risk of fire.
c) Keep the unused battery away
from paper clips, coins, keys, nails,
screws and other small metal ob-
jects, which could cause bridging
of the contacts. A short circuit be-
tween the battery contacts may cause
burns or fire.
d) If used incorrectly, liquid may leak
from the battery. Avoid contact
with this. In the event of accidental
contact, rinse off with water. If the
liquid gets into eyes, seek medical
assistance. Leaking battery fluid may
cause skin irritations 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.
