parts. Loose clothes, jewelry, and long hair can be caught
in moving parts.

Equipment Use and Care

• Do not force equipment� Use the correct equipment for
your application. The correct equipment will do the job
better and safer at the rate for which it is designed.
• Do not use equipment if the Power Key does not turn
it on and off� Any equipment that cannot be controlled
with the power switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
• Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or
the battery pack from the equipment before making
adjustments, changing accessories, or storing� Pre-
ventive safety measures reduce the risk of injury.
• Store idle equipment out of the reach of children
and do not allow persons unfamiliar with the equip-
ment or these instructions to operate the equipment�
Equipment can be dangerous in the hands of untrained
users.
• Maintain equipment� Check for misalignment or binding
of moving parts, missing parts, breakage of parts, and
any other condition that may affect the equipment's op-
eration. If damaged, have the equipment repaired before
use. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained
equipment.
• Use the equipment and accessories in accordance
with these instructions; taking into account the work-
ing conditions and the work to be performed� Use of
the equipment for operations different from those intend-
ed could result in a hazardous situation.
• Use only accessories that are recommended by the
manufacturer for your equipment� Accessories that
may be suitable for one piece of equipment may become
hazardous when used with other equipment.
• Keep handles dry, clean, and free from oil and grease�
This allows for better control of the equipment.

Battery Use and Care

• Use equipment only with specifically designated bat-
tery packs� Use of any other battery packs may create a
risk of injury and fire.
• Recharge only with the charger specified by the man-
ufacturer� A charger suitable for one type of battery pack
may create a risk of fire when used with another battery
pack.
• Do not probe battery with conductive objects� Short-
ing of battery terminals may cause sparks, burns, or elec-
trical shock. When the battery pack is not in use, keep
it away from other metal objects, like paper clips, coins,
keys, nails, screws or any other small metal object that
can make a connection from one terminal to the other.
Shorting the battery terminals may cause burns or a fire.
4 – English
• Under abusive conditions, liquid may eject from bat-
tery; avoid contact� If contact occurs, flush with water.
If liquid contacts eyes, seek medical help. Liquid ejected
from the battery may cause irritation or burns.
• Do not cover charger while in use� Proper ventilation
is required for correct operation. Covering charger in use
could result in fire.
• Use and store batteries and chargers in dry, appro-
priate temperature areas� Extreme temperatures and
moisture can damage batteries and result in leakage,
electrical shock, fire or burns.
• Properly dispose of batteries� Exposure to high tem-
peratures can cause the batteries to explode; do not dis-
pose of in a fire. Some countries have regulations con-
cerning battery disposal. Follow all applicable regulations.

Service
