are connected and properly used. 
Use of dust 
collection can reduce dust-related hazards.
h)  Do not let familiarity gained from frequent use of 
tools allow you to become complacent and ignore 
tool safety principles. 
A careless action can cause 
severe injury within a fraction of a second. 
4)   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 remove the battery pack, if detachable, 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 and accessories. 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. 
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. 
Use of the power tool for 
operations different from those intended could result 
in a hazardous situation. 
h)   Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry, clean 
and free from oil and grease. 
Slippery handles and 
grasping surfaces do not allow for safe handling and 
control of the tool in unexpected situations. 
5)   Battery tool use and care 
a)   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. 
b)   Use power tools only with specifically designated 
battery packs. 
Use of 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, 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.
d)   Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected 
from the battery; avoid contact. If contact 
accidentally occurs, flush with water. If liquid
