• Keep hair, loose clothing, fingers and all body parts
away from openings and moving parts.
• Use extra care when cleaning on stairs.
• Do not operate power tools in an explosive
atmosphere, such as in the presence of flammable
liquids, gases, or dust. Power tools create sparks
that may ignite the dust or fumes.
• Store indoors. Do not expose to rain or water. Avoid
direct sunshine.
• Never allow children to operate the equipment.
Never allow adults to operate the equipment without
proper instruction.
• Wear heavy long pants, boots, and gloves. Avoid

• Do not force tool. Use the correct tool for your
application. The correct tool will do the job better
and safer at the rate for which it is designed.
• Do not leave appliance when not in use and before
servicing.
• Do not operate the equipment while barefoot or
when wearing sandals or similar lightweight
footwear. Wear protective footwear that will protect
your feet and improve your footing on slippery
surfaces.

a hazard or cause product damage.
3 BATTERY-OPERATED POWER
TOOLS
• Do not use battery-operated appliance in rain.
• Turn off all controls before removing the battery.
• 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.
• Use only the charger supplied by the manufacturer
to recharge.
• Use appliances only with specifically designated
battery packs. Use of any other battery packs may
create a risk of injury and fire.

English
EN
• Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is
in the off-position before connecting to battery pack,
picking up or carrying the appliance. Carry the
power tool with your finger on the switch or energize
power tool that have the switch on invites accidents.
• Disconnect the battery pack from the power tool
before making any adjustments, changing
accessories, or storing the power tool. Such
preventive safety measures reduce the risk of
starting the power tool accidentally.
• 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.
• 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 incinerate the appliance even if it is severely
damaged. The batteries can explode in a fire.
• Do not use a battery pack or appliance that is
damaged or modified. Damaged or modified
batteries may exhibit unpredictable behavior
resulting in fire, explosion or risk of injury.
• Do not expose a battery pack or appliance to fire or
excessive temperature. Exposure to fire or
temperature above 265°F (130°C) may cause an
explosion.
• Have servicing performed by a qualified repair
person using only identical replacement parts. This
will ensure that the safety of the product is
maintained.
• Don't modify or attempt to repair the appliance or
the battery pack (as applicable) except as indicated
in the instructions for use and care.
• Follow all charging instructions and do not charge
the battery pack or appliance outside of the
temperature range specified in the instructions.
Charging improperly or at temperatures outside of
the specified range may damage the battery and
increase the risk of fire.
4 CHILD SAFETY
Tragic accidents can occur if the operator is not aware
of the presence of children.
• Keep children out of the working area and under the
watchful care of a responsible adult.
• Do not allow children under the age of 14 to operate
