tool for your application. The correct power tool will
do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was
designed.

turn it on and off. Any power tool that cannot be
controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be
repaired.
• Pull the mains plug and/or remove the battery
before adjusting a tool, changing accessories or
putting the tool aside. This precaution avoids the
unintentional start of the tool.
• Store idle power tools out of the reach of children
and do not allow persons Unfamiliar with the pow-
er tool or these instructions to operate it. Power
tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
• 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 opera-
tion. If damaged, have the power tool repaired before
use, Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained
power tools.
• Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc.,
in accordance with these instructions and in the
manner intended for the particular 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 intended could result in a
hazardous situation.

tery-operated power tools

units are usually designed for certain types of batter-
ies; if used with other types there is a risk of fire!

of fire!
• Keep unused batteries clear of paper clips, coins,
keys, nails, screws or other small metal objects
that may bridge the contacts. A short circuit between
the battery contacts may lead to burns or fire!
