I. GENERAL POWER TOOL

SAFETY RULES

WARNING! Read all safety

warnings and all instructions. Failure

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

Save all warnings and instructions for
future reference.The term "power tool"

in the warnings refers to your mains­operated (corded) power tool or
battery-operated (cordless) power tool.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

Work Area Safety

1) Keep work area clean and well lit.

Cluttered or dark areas invite acci­dents.

2) Do not operate power tools in

explosive atmospheres, such as in
the presence of flammable liquids
gases or dust.

Power tools create sparks which may
ignite the dust or fumes.

3) Keep children and bystanders away

while operating a power tool.

Distractions can cause you to lose
control.

Electrical Safety

1) 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.

Unmodified plugs and matchin
outlets will reduce risk of electric
shock.

2) 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.

3) Do not expose power tools to rain

or wet conditions.

Water entering a power tool will
increase the risk of electric shock.

4) 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.

5) 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.

6) If operating a power tool in a damp

location is unavoidable, use a
residual current device (RCD)
protected supply.

Use of RCD reduces the risk of elec­trical shock.

Personal Safety

1) 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 influence o
drugs, alcohol or medication.

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

2) Use safety equipment. Always wear

eye protection.

Safety equipment such as dust mask,
non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or
hearing protection used for appropri­ate conditions will reduce personal
injuries.

3)

Prevent unintentional starting.

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

4) 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.

- 4 -

EN

5) Do not overreach. Keep proper
footing and balance at all times.

This enables better control of the
power tool in unexpected situations.

6) 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.

7) If devices are provided for the

connection of dust extraction and
collection facilities, ensure these
are connected and properly used.

Use of these devices can reduce dust
related hazards.

Power Tool Use and Care

1) 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.

2) 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.

3) 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.

4) 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.

5) Maintain power tools. Check for

misalignment or binding of moving
parts, breakage of parts and any
other condition that may affect the
power tools operation. If damaged,
have the power tool repaired before
use.

Many accidents are caused by poorly
maintained power tools.

6) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean.

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

7) Use the power tool, accessories

and tool bits etc. in accordance
with these instructions and in the
manner intended for the particular
type of power tool, 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.

Battery Tool Use and Care

1) Ensure the switch is in the off
position before inserting battery
pack.

Inserting battery pack into power tools
that have the switch on invites acci­dents.

2) Recharge only with the charger
specified by the manufacture .
A charger that is suitable for one type
of battery pack may create a risk of
fire when used with another battery
pack.

3) Use power tools only with speci-
cally designated battery packs.
Use of any other battery packs may
create a risk of injury and fire

4) 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

5) Under abusive conditions, liquid

may be ejected from battery; avoid
contact. If contact accidentally
occurs, flush with wate . If liquid
contacts eyes, additionally seek
medical help.

Liquid ejected from the battery may
cause irritation or burns.

Service

1) Have your power tool serviced by a
qualified repair person using only
identical replacement parts.

This will ensure that the safety of
power tool is maintained.

3) Hold power tools by insulated gripping
surfaces when performing an opera­tion where the cutting tool may
contact hidden wiring.
Contact with a “live” wire will make
exposed metal parts of the tool “live”
and shock the operator.

4) If the bit becomes jammed, immedi­ately turn the trigger switch off to
prevent an overload which can
damage the battery pack or motor.
Use reverse motion to loosen jammed
bits.

5) Do NOT operate the Forward/Reverse
lever when the trigger switch is on.
The battery will discharge rapidly and
damage to the unit may occur.

6) When storing or carrying the tool, set
the Forward/Reverse lever to the
center position (switch lock).

7) Do not strain the tool by holding the
speed control trigger halfway (speed
control mode) so that the motor stops.
The protection circuit will activate and
may prevent speed control operation.
If this happens, release the speed
control trigger and squeeze again for
normal operation.

8) Be careful not to get dust inside the
chuck.

9) Do not touch the rotating parts to
avoid injury.

10) Do not use the tool continuously for a
long period of time. Stop using the
tool from time to time to avoid
temperature rise and heat overload of
the motor.

11) Do not drop the tool.

II. SPECIFIC SAFETY

RULES

1) Wear ear protection. Exposure to
noise can cause hearing loss.

2) Be aware that this tool is always in an
operating condition, since it does not
have to be plugged into an electrical
outlet.
