changing accessories, or storing power
tools. Such preventive safety measures reduce
the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.
3. 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.
4. 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 accidents
are caused by poorly maintained power tools.
5. 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

Battery tool use and care
1. 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.
2. Use power tools only with specifically
designated battery packs. Use of any other
battery packs may create a risk of injury and fire.
3. 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.
4. 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.

and remove the Battery Pack before leaving.
4. The battery Charger gets hot during
use. The Charger’s heat can build up to
unsafe levels and create a fire hazard if
it does not receive adequate ventilation,
due to an electrical fault, or if it is used in a hot
environment. Do not place the Charger on a
flammable surface. Do not obstruct any vents on
the Charger. Especially avoid placing the
charger on carpets and rugs; they are not only
flammable, but they also obstruct vents under
the charger.

surface (such as a stable metal workbench or
concrete floor) at least 1 foot away from all
flammable objects, such as drapes or walls. Keep
a fire extinguisher and a smoke detector in the
area. Frequently monitor the Charger and
Battery Pack while charging.
