4) Using and handling the power tool
a) Do not overload the power tool. Use the power tool designed for the work you wish to do. When using the
appropriate power tool, you can work better and more safely in the specified power range.
b) Do not use a power tool if it has a faulty switch. A power tool which can no longer be switched on or off is dangerous
and must be repaired.
c) Remove the plug from the socket and/or remove a removable battery before changing the device settings,
replacing tool attachments or putting the power tool away. This precaution prevents the unintended startup of the
power tool.
d) Keep unused power tools out of reach of children. Do not allow anyone to use the power tool if they are not
familiar with it or if they have not read these instructions. Power tools are dangerous when used by inexperienced
persons.
e) Take good care of power tools and attachments. Check that moving parts are in good working order and do not
jam, that no parts are broken or damaged in such a way that the function of the power tool is impaired. Have
damaged parts repaired before using the power tool. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained power tools.
f)
Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Well cared-for cutting tools with sharp cutting edges jam less frequently and are
easier to control.
g) Use the power tool, attachment(s) etc. in accordance with these instructions. When doing so, take note of the
working conditions and the activity you wish to perform. Using power tools for applications other than those they
are intended for can lead to dangerous situations.
h) Keep the handles and grip areas dry, clean and free from oil and grease. Slippery handles and grip areas mean
that you cannot operate and control the power tool safely in unforeseen situations.
5) Using and handling the battery-powered tool
a) Only charge the batteries with chargers which are recommended by the manufacturer. A charger which is suitable
for a specific type of battery presents a risk of fire when used with different batteries.
b) Only use the intended batteries in the power tools. The use of different batteries may lead to injuries and a risk of
fire.
c) Keep the unused battery away from paper clips, coins, keys, nails, screws or other small metal objects that
could cause a bridging of contacts. A short circuit between the battery contacts can result in burns or fire.
d) If used incorrectly, fluid may leak out of the battery. Avoid contact with this fluid. If contact is made, rinse the
area with water. If the fluid gets into the eyes, also seek medical assistance. Leaking battery fluid can cause skin
irritation or burns.
e) Do not use a damaged or modified battery. Damaged or modified batteries may behave unexpectedly and lead to
fire, explosion or a risk of injury.
f)
Do not expose a battery to fire or temperatures that are too high. Fire or temperatures above 130 °C (265 °F) may
bring about an explosion.
g) Follow all charging instructions, and never charge the battery or battery-operated tool outside of the
temperature range specified in the operating instructions. Incorrect charging or charging outside of the permitted
temperature range may destroy the battery and increase the risk of fire.
6) Service
a) Only have your power tool repaired by qualified specialist personnel and with original spare parts. This ensures
that the power tool remains safe to use.
b) Never service damaged batteries. Any servicing of batteries should only be performed by the manufacturer or
authorised customer service points.
