accessories, or storing machines. Such preventive safety measures reduce the
risk of starting the machine accidentally.
◾
Store idle machines out of the reach of children and do not allow persons
unfamiliar with the machine or these instructions to operate the machine.
Machines are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
◾
Maintain machines and accessories. Check for misalignment or binding of
moving parts, breakage of parts and any other condition that may affect the
machine's operation. If damaged, have the machine repaired before use.
Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained machines.
◾
Keep cutting machines sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting machines
with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
◾
Use the machine, accessories and machine bits etc. in accordance with
these instructions, taking into account the working conditions and the work
to be performed. Use of the machine 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 machine in unexpected situations.
Battery machine use and care
◾
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.
◾
Use machines only with specifically designated battery packs. Use of any
other battery packs may create a risk of injury and fire.
◾
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.
◾
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.
◾
Do not use a battery pack or machine that is damaged or modified.
Damaged or modified batteries may exhibit unpredictable behavior resulting in
fire, explosion or risk of injury.
