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 appliance before making any adjustments, changing accessories,
or storing appliances . Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the
appliance accidentally.
Store idle appliances out of the reach of children and do not allow persons unfamiliar

parts, breakage of parts and any other condition that may affect the appliance's
operation. If damaged, have the appliance repaired before use. Many accidents are
caused by poorly maintained appliances.

instructions, taking into account the working conditions and the work to be performed.

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

fire or temperature above 265 °F (130 °C) may cause explosion.
Follow all charging instructions and do not charge the battery pack or appliance

temperatures outside the specified range may damage the battery and increase the risk of
fire.
