safety measures to protect themselves that
are based on an estimation of exposure
in the actual conditions of use (taking
account of all parts of the operating
cycle such as the times when the tool is
switched off and when it is running idle in
addition to the trigger).
Power tool use and care
•
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.
•
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,
if detachable, 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.
•
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.
•
Maintain power tools and accessories.
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.
•
Keep cutting tools sharp and clean.
Properly maintained cutting tools with
sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind
and are easier to control.
•
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.
•
Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry,
clean and free from oil and grease.
Slippery handles and grasping surfaces do
not allow for safe handling and control of
the tool in unexpected situations.

Battery tool use and care
•
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.
•
Use power tools only with specifically
designated battery packs. Use of any other
battery packs may create a risk of injury
and fire.
•
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.
•
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 irritations or burns.
•
Do not use a battery pack or tool
that is damaged or modified. Damaged
or modified batteries may exhibit
unpredictable behavior resulting in fire,
explosion or risk of injury.
•
Do not expose a battery pack or tool to fire
or excessive temperature.Exposure to fire
or temperature above 130 ºC (265 ºF) may
cause explosion.
•
Follow all charging instructions and do
not charge the battery pack or tool
outside the temperature range specified in
the instructions.Charging improperly or at
temperatures outside the specified range
may damage the battery and increase the
risk of fire.
Service

qualified repair person using only identical
replacement parts. This will ensure that the
safety of the power tool is maintained.
