ed situations.
f Wear suitable clothing. Do not wear loose-fit-
ting clothing or dangling jewellery. Keep your
hair, clothing and gloves away from moving
parts. Loose clothes, gloves, jewellery or long
hair can be caught in moving parts.
4 Power tool use and care
a Do not overload the device. 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 before making any ad-
justments, changing accessories, or storing
the device. Such preventive safety measures re-
duce the risk of starting the power tool accidental-
ly.
d Store unused power tools out of the reach of
children. Do not allow persons unfamiliar with
the device or these instructions to operate the
device. 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 acci-
dents are caused by poorly maintained power
tools.
f 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 pow-
er tool for operations different from those intend-
ed could result in a hazardous situation.
5 Use and care of battery packs
a Only charge the battery pack with the charg-
ers approved by the manufacturer. Chargers
that are not suitable for the corresponding battery
pack may cause a fire.
b Only use the device with a suitable battery
pack. Using a different battery pack may cause
injury or fire.
c When not in use, keep the battery pack away
from metallic objects such as paper clips,
coins, keys, nails, screws or other small me-
tallic objects that may cause a short-circuit. A
short circuit can cause a fire or explosion.
d Under certain circumstances, fluid may es-
cape from the battery pack. Avoid contact. If
you come into contact with the fluid, rinse the
corresponding skin thoroughly with water. If
you get the fluid in your eye, seek medical at-
tention immediately. Battery fluid can cause
rashes and burns on the skin.
6 Service
a Have your power tool serviced by a qualified
repair person using only identical replace-
ment parts. This will ensure that the safety of the
power tool is maintained.
