GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY WARNINGS

• Read all safety warnings and instructions. Failure to heed warnings and follow instructions may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.
• Keep safety warnings and instructions for future reference.
• The term “power tool” in the safety warnings refers to your mains operated (corded) power tool or battery- operated (cordless) power tool.

BEFORE USE

• Remove any packing material and loose parts from unit.
• Check the accessories before use. It should be fit with the machine and your purpose.
• If the machine is new, the battery must first be charged.
• Attention! After long time storage, the battery capacity will be reduce.
• A new battery or one which has not been used for an extended period achieves full performance only after charging and discharging cycles. A substantial drop in operating period per charge indicates that the battery is worn out and must be replaced.

ELECTRICAL SAFETY

• Always check that the power supply corresponds to the voltage on the rating plate.
• Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use adapter plugs with earthed power tools. Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will reduce the risk of an electric shock.
• Avoid body contact with earthed surfaces such as pipes, radiators, kitchen ranges and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of an electric shock if your body is earthed.
• Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. If water gets inside a power tool, it will increase the risk of an electric shock.
• Do not damage the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging the power tool. Keep the cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of an electric shock.
• When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cable suitable for outdoor use. Using a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of an electric shock.
• If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a power supply protected by a residual current device (RCD). Using an RCD reduces the risk of an electric shock.

SERVICE
Your power tool should be serviced by a qualified specialist using only standard spare parts. This will ensure that it meets the required safety standards.

1. Use only the manufacturer’s recommended replacement parts and accessories.
2. Inspect and maintain the machine regularly. Have the machine repaired only by an authorized repairer.
3. When not in use, store the machine out of the reach of children.

ADDITIONAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR BATTERIES AND CHARGERS

Use only batteries and chargers applicable for this machine.

BATTERIES

• Never attempt to open for any reason.
• Do not store in locations where the temperature may exceed 40°C.
• Charge only at ambient temperatures between 4°C and 40°C.
• When disposing of batteries, follow the instructions given in the section “Protecting the environment”.
• Do not cause short circuits. If connection is made between the positive (+) and negative (-) terminal directly or via accidental contact with metallic objects, the battery is short circuited and an intense current will flow causing heat generation which may lead to casing rupture or fire.
• Do not heat. If batteries are heated to above 100 °C, sealing and insulating separators and other polymer components may be damaged resulting in electrolyte leakage and/or internal short circuiting leading to heat generation causing rupture or file. Moreover do not dispose of the batteries in fire, explosion and/or intense burning may result.
• Under extreme conditions, battery leakage may occur. When you notice liquid on the battery, proceed as follows:
• Carefully wipe the liquid off using a cloth. Avoid skin contact.
• In case of skin or eye contact, follow the instructions below:
  • Immediately rinse with water. Neutralize with a mild acid such as lemon juice or vinegar.
  • In case of eye contact, rinse abundantly with clean water for at least 10 minutes.
