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.

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 battery is worn out and must be replaced.

WORKING AREA

• Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered and dark areas invite accidents.
• Do not operate in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids,gases or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.

ELECTRICAL SAFETY

• Always check that the power supply corresponds to the voltage on the rating plate.

• Plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use adapter plugs with earthed equipment.
  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 to rain or wet conditions. If water gets inside, it will increase the risk of an electric shock.

• If operating 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.
a) Use only the manufacturer’s recommended replacement parts and accessories.
b) Inspect and maintain the machine regularly. Have the machine repaired only by an authorized repairer.
c) 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:
  1. Immediately rinse with water. Neutralize with a mild acid such as lemon juice or vinegar.
  2. In case of eye contact, rinse abundantly with clean water for at least 10 minutes.
  3. Consult a physician.
  Fire hazard! Avoid short-circuiting the contacts of a detached battery. Do not incinerate the battery.

CHARGERS

• Never attempt to charge non-rechargeable batteries.
• Have defective cords replaced immediately.
• Do not expose to water.
• Do not open the charger.
• Do not probe the charger.
• The charger is intended for indoor use only.

OPERATION

Before using the equipment:

BATTERY CHARGER
The lithium-ion battery can be charged at any time and will not develop a “memory” when charged after only a partial discharge. It is not necessary to run down the battery pack charge before recharging. Remove the battery pack from the tool when convenient for you and your job. You can “top-off” your battery pack’s charge before starting a big job or long period of use.
Due to lithium-ion’s fade-free properties, the only time it is necessary to charge the lithium-ion battery pack is when the pack has reached the end of its charge. To signal the end of charge, power to the tool will drop quickly. Charge the battery pack as needed.

CHARGING THE BATTERY
This lithium-ion battery pack is shipped partially charged. Before using it the first time, fully charge the battery pack. A fully discharged battery pack with a temperature between 0°C and 40°C will charge in about 1 hour.
Plug the charger adapter into power source. The green light on the charger stand will illuminate, indicating the charger is powered.
Slide the battery all the way into the charger stand. The red light on the charger stand will illuminate, indicating that the battery is charging.
The red light will go off after charging is complete and a green light will appear.

NOTE: Batteries may become warm while charging. This is normal. If the battery is hot after continuous use in the tool, allow it to cool down to room temperature before charging. This will extend the life of your batteries.
WARNING: Always disconnect the battery pack from the tool before any assembly, adjustments or changing accessories.

INSERTION AND REMOVAL OF RECHARGEABLE BATTERY
Depress the battery-release button located on the front of the battery pack to release battery pack.
Pull the battery pack out and remove it from the tool.
WARNING: Always remove the battery pack before making adjustments to the equipment.
Be sure to read the following information before you put the cordless equipment into operation:
Charge the battery pack with the charger. An empty battery pack requires a charging period of approximately 0.5 to 1 hour.
