Use the correct power tool for your application. The correct power tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was designed. b Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it on and off. Any power tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired. c Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or the battery pack before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing the device. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally. d Store unused power tools out of the reach of children. Do not allow persons unfamiliar with the device or these instructions to operate the device. Power tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users. e Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any other condition that may affect the power tool's operation. If damaged, have the power tool repaired before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained power tools. f 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 Use and care of battery packs a Only charge the battery pack with the chargers approved by the manufacturer. Chargers that are not suitable for the corresponding battery pack may cause a fire. b Only use the device with a suitable battery pack. Using a different battery pack may cause injury or fire. c When not in use, keep the battery pack away from metallic objects such as paper clips, coins, keys, nails, screws or other small metallic objects that may cause a short-circuit. A short circuit can cause a fire or explosion. d Under certain circumstances, fluid may escape from the battery pack. Avoid contact. If you come into contact with the fluid, rinse the corresponding skin thoroughly with water. If you get the fluid in your eye, seek medical attention immediately. Battery fluid can cause rashes and burns on the skin. 6 Service a 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.
