Use and Care Manual

2
3. Avoid unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the
OFF position before connecting to the power source/
battery charger, or before picking up or carrying the tool.
Carrying power tools with your nger on the switch or
charging power tools with the switch ON can lead to
accidents.
4. Remove any adjusting key or wrench before starting
the power tool. A wrench or a key left attached to a
rotating part of the power tool may result in personal
injury.
5. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at
all times. This enables better control of the power tool in
unexpected situations.
6. Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry.
Dangling articles such as these can become caught
in moving parts. Using rubber gloves and substantial
footwear is recommended when working outdoors. Wear
a protective hair covering to contain long hair.
7. Use dust-reducing equipment (e.g. dust masks) when
necessary. Using these devices can greatly reduce
dust-related hazards.
Power Tool Use And Care
1. Do not force the appliance. It will do the job better with
less likelihood of injury if it is used at the rate for which it
was designed.
2. Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn
it on and o. Any power tool that cannot be controlled by
the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
3. Disconnect the battery pack from the power tool
before making any adjustments, changing accessories
or storing the power tool. Such preventative safety
measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool
accidentally.
4. Store idle appliances indoors. When not in use,
appliances should be stored indoors in a dry and high or
locked-up place out of the reach of children.
5. Maintain appliance with care. Check for misalignment or
binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any other
condition that may aect the power tool's operation. If
damaged, have the power tool repaired before use. Many
accidents are caused by poorly maintained power tools.
6. Keep cutting blades sharp and clean. Properly
maintained cutting blades with sharp edges are less likely
to bind and are easier to control.
7. Use the power tool and accessories in accordance
with these instructions and in the manner intended
for the particular use of the power tool, taking into
account the working conditions and the work to be
performed. Using the power tool for operations dierent
from those intended could result in a hazardous situation.
