D.
Remove any adjusting key or wrench
before turning on the power tool. A
wrench or a key left attached to a rotating
part of the power tool may result in personal
injury.
E.
Do not overreach. Keep proper
footing and balance at all times. This
enables better control of the power tool in
unexpected situations.
F.
Dress properly. Do not wear loose
clothing or jewelry. Keep your hair tied
back and your clothing and gloves away
from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry,
or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
G.
If devices are provided for the
connection of dust extraction and
collection facilities, ensure that these
are connected and properly used. Use
of dust collection can reduce dust-related
hazards.

Power tool use and care
A.
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.
B.
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.
C.
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.
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 operate 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 tools
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 likely 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. Using the power tool for
operations different from those intended
could result in a hazardous situation.
4.
Battery tool use and care
A.
Charge only with the charger specified
by the manufacturer. A charger that is
suitable for 1 type of battery pack may
create a risk of fire when used with another
battery pack.
B.
Use power tools only with specifically
designated battery packs. Using any
other battery packs may create a risk of
injury and fire.
C.
When battery pack is not in use, keep it
away from other metal objects, such as
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.
D.
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 irritation
or burns.
E.
Charging time increases if the battery
pack is not charged within the appropriate
temperature range; refer to
(page
8).
5.
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.
