General Power Tool Safety Warnings

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING (THIS POWER TOOL)

Read all safety warnings, instructions, illustrations and

specications provided with this power tool. Failure to follow

the warnings and instructions may result in electric shock re and/or

serious injury.

Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.

The term ″power tool″ in the warnings refers to your BATTERY-operated

(cordless) power tool.

Work Area Safety

• Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite

accidents.

• Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of ammable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create

sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.

• Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool.

Distractions can cause you to lose control.

Electrical Safety

• Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any

way. Do not use any adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools. Unmodied plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk of electric

shock.

• Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces, such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of

electric shock if your body is earthed or grounded.

• Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.

• Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging the power tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of

electric shock.

• When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces

the risk of electric shock.

• If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a

RESIDUAL CURRENT DEVICE (RCD) protected supply. Use of an RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.

SAFETY

DSRM-2100

Personal Safety

• Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when

operating a power tool. Do not use a power tool while you are tired or under the inuence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment

of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.

• Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection.

Protective equipment such as a dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat or hearing protection used appropriately will reduce personal injuries.

• Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the off position before connecting to power source and/or battery and when picking up or carrying the tool. Carrying power tools with your nger on the

switch or energizing power tools that have the switch on invites accidents.

• Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the power tool on. A wrench or a key left attached to a rotating part of the power tool may

result in personal injury.

• Do not over-reach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations.

• Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry or

long hair can be caught in moving parts.

• If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and collection facilities, ensure these are connected and properly used.

Use of dust collection can reduce dust related hazards.

• 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.

Power Tool Use and Care

• 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.

• 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.

• Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or remove the battery, 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.

• 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.

• Maintain power tools and accessories. Check for misalignment or

999222380088

Page 9

DSRM-2100

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.

• Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.

• Use the power tool and accessories 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.

• 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.

SAFETY

Battery Tool Use and Care

• Recharge only with ECHO eFORCE™ 56V battery series chargers.

A charger that is suitable for one type of battery may create a risk of re

when used with another battery.

• Use only with ECHO eFORCE™ 56V battery series. Use of any other

batteries may create a risk of injury and re.

• When battery 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 re.

• Do not open or destroy the battery. Electrolytes contained within the battery are corrosive and may cause damage to eyes or skin if released. It may be toxic if swallowed.

• Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from the battery; avoid contact. If contact accidentally occurs, ush with water. If liquid contacts eyes, additionally seek medical help. Liquid ejected

from the battery may cause irritation or burns.

• Exercise care in handling batteries to avoid shorting the battery with conducting materials such as rings, bracelets, keys, etc. The battery

or conductor may overheat and cause burns if contact with said materials is made.

• Do not use a battery or tool that is damaged or modied. Damaged

or modied batteries may exhibit unpredictable behavior resulting in re,

explosion or risk of injury.

• Do not expose a battery or tool to re or excessive temperature.

Exposure to re or temperature above 266 °F (130 °C) may cause

explosion.

• Follow all charging instructions and do not charge the battery or tool outside the temperature range specied in the instructions. Charging

improperly or at temperatures outside the specied range may damage the battery and increase the risk of re.
