safety measures reduce the risk of starting the tool accidentally.
• Store idle tools out of reach of children and other untrained
persons. Tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
• 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 sparks, burns, or a fire.
• Maintain tools with care. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean.
Properly maintained tools, with sharp cutting edges are less likely
to bind and are easier to control.
• Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts,
breakage of parts, and any other condition that may affect
the tools operation. If damaged, have the tool serviced before
using. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained tools.
• Use only accessories that are recommended by the
manufacturer for your model. Accessories that may be
suitable for one tool, may create a risk of injury when used on
another tool.
SERVICE
• Tool service must be performed only by qualified repair
personnel. Service or maintenance performed by unqualified
personnel may result in a risk of injury.
• When servicing a tool, use only identical replacement
parts. Follow instructions in the Maintenance section of this
manual. Use of unauthorized parts or failure to follow Maintenance
Instructions may create a risk of shock or injury.
Additional Safety Rules
• Hold tool by insulated gripping surfaces when performing
an operation where the tool may contact hidden wiring.
Contact with a "live" wire will also make exposed metal parts of
the tool "live" and shock the operator.
• When working on a ladder or on scaffolding be sure to lay
the tool down on its side when not in use. Some tools with
large battery packs will stand upright but may be easily knocked
over.
