noise can cause hearing loss.
i) Use auxiliary handles supplied with the tool. Loss of
control can cause personal injury.
4) Power tool use and care
a) Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power
tool for your application. The correct power tool will do
the job better and safer.
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 from the power tool before making any
adjustments, changing accessories, or storing power
tools. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of
starting the power tool accidentally.
d) Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and
do not allow persons unfamiliar with the power tool or
these instructions to operate the power tool. Power
tools can cause injuries 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 tools
operation. If damaged, have the power tool repaired
before use. Accidents are caused by poorly maintained
power tools.
f) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly
maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less
likely to bind and are easier to control.
g) Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc. in
accordance with these instructions and in the manner
intended for the particular type of power tool, 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 injuries.
5) 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.

Before Putting into Operation

BATTERY CHARGING

Battery of new tools is not fully charged
A battery that is new or has not been used for a longer
period does not develop its full capacity until after
approximately 5 charging/discharging cycles.
To remove the battery, press the unlocking buttons H and
pull out the battery downwards. Do not exert any force.
Remove battery from charger after charging
period has ended thereby lengthening the
service life of the battery.
IMPORTANT:
Ensure that the outside surface of the battery is clean and
dry before inserting into charger.
While charging, the charger and the battery may become
warm to touch, this is normal and does not indicate a
problem.
Do not charge at temperatures below 0° C and over 40° C.
Do not remove battery from tool while it is running.
When you charge the battery for the first time, it only
accepts 80% of its maximum capacity; after several
charges and discharges, however, the batteries should be
at full capacity and deliver maximum performance
