e) Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or
binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any
other condition that may affect the power toolâs
operation. If damaged, have the power tool repaired
before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly
maintained power tools.
f)î 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, taking into
account the working conditions and the work to be
performed.îUseîofîtheîpowerîtoolîforîoperationsîdifferentî

another battery pack.
b) Use power tools only with specifically designated
battery packs.îUseîofîanyîotherîbatteryîpacksîmayî

c) 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 ïŹre.
d) 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
