Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Prop-
erly maintained cutting tools with sharp cut-
ting edges are less likely to bind and are eas-
ier to control.
■
Use the power tool, accessories and tool
bits etc. in accordance with these instruc-
tions, 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 hazard-
ous situation.
■
Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry,
clean and free from oil and grease. Slip-
pery 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 suit-
able 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 con-
nection 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 irritation or burns.
■
Do not use a battery pack or tool that is
damaged or modified. Damaged or modi-
fied batteries may exhibit unpredictable be-
haviour 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 °C may cause
explosion.
■
Follow all charging instructions and do
not charge the battery pack or tool out-
side the temperature range specified in
the instructions. Charging improperly or at
22
temperatures outside the specified range
may damage the battery and increase the
risk of fire.
4.1.6
Service
■
Have your power tool serviced by a quali-
fied repair person using only identical re-
placement parts. This will ensure that the
safety of the power tool is maintained.
■
Never service damaged battery packs.
Service of battery packs should only be per-
formed by the manufacturer or authorized
