the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A
moment of inattention while operating power tools
may result in serious personal injury .
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 injuries .
Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the

switch is in the off-position before connecting
to power source and/or battery pack, picking up
or carrying the tool. Carrying power tools with your
finger on the switch or energising power tools that
have the switch on invites accidents .
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 .
Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and

balance at all times. This enables better control
of the power tool in unexpected situations .
Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or

jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves
away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery
or long hair can be caught in moving parts .
If devices are provided for the connection of

dust extraction and collection facilities, ensure
these are connected and properly used. Use of
dust collection can reduce dust-related hazards .
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 the battery pack 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 chil-

dren 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. 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 .
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 ejec-

ted 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 irritation
or burns .
Service
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 .

local utility company for assistance. Contact
with electric lines can lead to fire and electric shock .
Damaging a gas line can lead to explosion . Pene-
