SAFETY

GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY WARNINGS

WARNING

Read all safety warnings and all instructions.

Failure to follow the warnings and instructions may result in electric shock, ﬁ re and/or serious injury.

Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.

The term “power tool” in the warnings refers to your mains-operated (corded) power tool or battery-

operated (cordless) power tool.

1) Work area safety a) Keep work area clean and well lit.

Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.

b) Do not operate power tools in explosive

atmospheres, such as in the presence of ﬂ ammable liquids, gases or dust.

Power tools create sparks which may ignite

the dust or fumes.

c) Keep children and bystanders away

while operating a power tool.

Distractions can cause you to lose control.

2) Electrical safety a) 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.

Unmodiﬁ ed plugs and matching outlets will

reduce risk of electric shock.

b) 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.

c) Do not expose power tools to rain or wet

conditions.

Water entering a power tool will increase the

risk of electric shock.

d) 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.

English

e) 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.

f) 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.

3) Personal safety a) 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 inﬂ uence of drugs, alcohol or medication.

A moment of inattention while operating

power tools may result in serious personal injury.

b) Use personal protective equipment.

Always wear eye protection.

Protective equipment such as dust mask,

non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.

c) Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure

the switch is in the oﬀ -position before connecting to power source and/or battery pack, picking up or carrying the tool.

Carrying power tools with your ﬁ nger on the

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

d) 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.

e) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing

and balance at all times.

This enables better control of the power tool

in unexpected situations.

f) Dress properly. Do not wear loose

clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from moving parts.

Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be

caught in moving parts.

g) 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.

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 the battery pack 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. Check for

misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any other condition that may aﬀ ect 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 diﬀ erent

from those intended could result in a hazardous situation.

5) Battery tool use and care a) Recharge only with the charger

speciﬁ ed by the manufacturer.

A charger that is suitable for one type of

battery pack may create a risk of ﬁ re when used with another battery pack.

b) Use power tools only with speciﬁ cally

designated battery packs.

Use of any other battery packs may create a

risk of injury and

ﬁ re.

English

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 ﬁ re.

d) Under abusive conditions, liquid may

be ejected from the battery; avoid contact. If contact accidentally occurs, ﬂ ush with water. If liquid contacts eyes, additionally seek medical help.

Liquid ejected from the battery may cause

irritation or burns.

6) Service a) Have your power tool serviced by a

qualiﬁ ed repair person using only identical replacement parts.

This will ensure that the safety of the power

tool is maintained.

Regarding electric discharge in case of new batteries, etc.

As the internal chemical substances of new

batteries and batteries that have not been used for an extended period is not activated, the electric discharge might be low when using them for the ﬁ rst and second times. This is a temporary phenomenon, and normal time required for recharging will be restored by recharging the batteries 2 – 3 times.

How to make the batteries perform longer.

○ Recharge the batteries before they become

completely exhausted.

When you feel that the power of the tool

becomes weaker, stop using the tool and recharge its battery. If you continue to use the tool and exhaust the electric current, the battery may be damaged and its life will become

shorter. ○ Avoid recharging at high temperatures. A rechargeable battery will be hot immediately

after use. If such a battery is recharged

immediately after use, its internal chemical

substance will deteriorate, and the battery life

will be shortened. Leave the battery for a while

and recharge it after it has cooled.

CAUTION

● When the battery charger has been

continuously used, the battery charger

will be heated, thus constituting the cause

of failures. Once the charging has been

completed, give 15 minutes rest until the

next charging.

● If the battery is recharged when it is warm

due to battery use or exposure to sunlight,

the pilot lamp may not light. The battery will not be recharged. In such a

case, let the battery cool before charging.

● If the battery charger does not work while

the battery is mounted correctly, it is

probable that the battery or charger is

malfunctioning. Take it to your authorized

Service Center.

BEFORE USE

Check the work area to make sure that it is clear of debris and clutter. Clear the area of unnecessary personnel. Ensure that lighting and ventilation is adequate.
