General product safety warnings
WARNING: Read all safety warnings, instructions, illustrations and specifications provided with this product. Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury. Save all warnings and instructions for future reference. The term “product” in the warnings refers to your mainsoperated (corded) product or battery-operated (cordless) product.
Work area safety

• Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
• Do not operate the product in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases or dust. The product create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
• Keep children and bystanders away while operating the product. Distractions can cause you to lose control.

Electrical safety

• Product plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) products. Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.
• 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.
• Do not expose products to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a product will increase the risk of electric shock.
• Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging the product. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock.
• When operating a product outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.
• If operating a product in a damp location is unavoidable, use a residual current device (RCD) protected supply. Use of an RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.

Personal safety

• Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a product. Do not use a product while you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention while operating products may result in serious personal injury.
• Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection. Protective equipment such as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat or hearing protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.
• Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the off-position before connecting to power source and/or battery pack, picking up or carrying the product. Carrying products with your finger on the switch or energising products that have the switch on invites accidents.
• Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the product on. A wrench or a key left attached to a rotating part of the product may result in personal injury.
• Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better control of the product in unexpected situations.
• Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair and clothing away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
• If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and collection facilities, ensure these are connected and properly used. Use of dust collection can reduce dust-related hazards.
• Do not let familiarity gained from frequent use of products allow you to become complacent and ignore product safety principles. A careless action can cause severe injury within a fraction of a second.

Product use and care

• Do not force the product. Use the correct product for your application. The correct product will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was designed.
• Do not use the product if the switch does not turn it on and off. Any product that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
• Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or remove the battery pack, if detachable, from the product before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing products. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the product accidentally.
• Store idle products out of the reach of children and do not allow persons unfamiliar with the product or these instructions to operate the product. Products are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
• Maintain products and accessories. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any other condition that may affect the product’s operation. If damaged, have the product repaired before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained products.
• Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
• Use the product, 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 product 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 product in unexpected situations.

Battery tool 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 products 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 irritations or burns.

• Do not use a battery pack or tool that is damaged or modified. Damaged or modified batteries may exhibit unpredictable behavior resulting in fire, explosion or risk of injury.

• Do not expose a battery pack or tool to fire or excessive temperature. Exposure to fire or temperature above 130 °C / 265 °F may cause explosion.
