ensures a good footing.

Electrical and battery safety

1. Avoid dangerous environment. Don’t use the tool in 

damp or wet locations or expose it to rain. Water 
entering the tool will increase the risk of electric shock.

2. Recharge only with the charger specified by the 

manufacturer. A charger that is suitable for one type of 
battery pack may create a risk of fire when used with 
another battery pack.

3. Use power tools only with specifically designated 

battery packs. Use of any other battery packs may 
create a risk of injury and fire.

4. 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.

5. Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from 

the battery; avoid contact. If contact accidentally 
occurs, flush with water. If liquid contacts eyes, seek 
medical help. Liquid ejected from the battery may 
cause irritation or burns.

6. Do not dispose of the battery(ies) in a fire. The cell 

may explode. Check with local codes for possible 
special disposal instructions.

7. Do not open or mutilate the battery(ies). Released 

electrolyte is corrosive and may cause damage to the 
eyes or skin. It may be toxic if swallowed.

Starting up the tool (Fig. 3)

1. Make sure that there are no children or other people 

within a working range of 15 meters (50 ft), also pay 
attention to any animals in the working vicinity. 
Otherwise stop using the tool.

2. Before use always check that the tool is safe for 

operation. Check the security of the cutting tool and 
the guard and the switch trigger/lever for easy and
