are caused by poorly maintained power
tools.

• Keep cutting tools sharp and clean.

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

• 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 different from those intended
could result in a hazardous situation.

5) CAREFUL HANDLING AND USE OF

BATTERY DEVICES

a) Charge the batteries only in chargers

that are recommended by the manu-
facturer.

Risk of fire if a charger that is

suitable for a specific type of battery is
used with other batteries.

b) In the power tools, use only the bat-

teries designed for the purpose. The
use of other batteries may result in inju-
ries and risk of fire.

c) Keep the unused battery away from

paper clips, coins, keys, nails, screws
and other small metal objects, which
could cause bridging of the contacts.
A short circuit between the battery con-
tacts may cause burns or fire.

d) If used incorrectly, liquid may leak

from the battery. Avoid contact with
this. In the event of accidental con-
tact, rinse off with water. If the liquid
gets into eyes, seek medical assist-
ance.

Leaking battery fluid may cause

skin irritations or burns.

6) SERVICE

• Have your power tool serviced by a

qualified repair person using only

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