3) 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.
4) 
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 are dangerous in the hands 
of untrained users.
5)  Maintain power tools. Check for mis-
alignment 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.
Many accidents are caused by poorly 
maintained power tools.
6)  Keep cutting tools sharp and clean.
Properly maintained cutting tools with 
sharp cutting edges are less likely to 
bind and are easier to control.
7) 
Use the power tool, accessories and 
tool bits etc. in accordance with these 
instructions and in the manner intend-
ed for the particular type of power 
tool, taking into account the work-
ing conditions and the work to be per-
formed.
Use of the power tool for operations 
different from those intended could 
result in a hazardous situation.
Battery Tool Use and Care
1)  Ensure the switch is in the off posi-
tion before inserting battery pack.
Inserting battery pack into power tools 
that have the switch on invites accidents.
2)  Recharge only with the charger speci-
fied 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 specifi-
cally 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 battery; avoid con-
tact. 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.
Service
1) Have your power tool serviced by a 
qualified repair person using only 
identical replacement parts. 
This will ensure that the safety of power 
tool is maintained.
 SPECIFIC SAFE-
TY RULES
1)  Wear ear protectors when using the 
tool for extended periods.
  Prolonged exposure to high intensity  noise can cause hearing loss.
2)  Be aware that this tool is always in an 
operating condition, since it does not 
have to be plugged into an electrical 
outlet.
3)  Hold power tools by insulated grip-
ping sur  faces when performing an 
operation where the cutting tool may 
contact hid  den wiring.
  Contact with a “live” wire will make ex- posed metal parts of the tool “live” and 
shock the operator.
4)  If the bit becomes jammed, immediately turn the main switch off to prevent an 
overload which can damage the battery 
pack or motor. Use reverse motion to 
loosen jammed bits.
5)  Do not touch the rotating parts to avoid  injury.
6) 
Do not use the tool continuously for a 
long period of time. Stop using the tool 
from time to time to avoid temperature 
rise and heat overload of the motor.
7)  Do not drop the tool.

16) Do not charge battery pack when the 
temperature is BELOW 0°C (32°F) or 
ABOVE 40°C (104°F). This is very impor-
tant in order to maintain optimal condition 
of the battery pack.
17)  Do not incinerate the battery pack. It 
can explode in a fire.
18)  Avoid dangerous environment. Do not 
use charger in damp or wet locations.
19)  The charger is designed to operate on 
standard household electrical power 
only. Do not attempt to use it on any 
other voltage!
20)  Do not abuse cord. Never carry charger 
by cord or yank it to disconnect from 
outlet. Keep cord away from heat, oil 
and sharp edges.
21)  Charge the battery pack in a well ven-
tilated place, do not cover the charger 
and battery pack with a cloth, etc., while 
charging.
22)  Use of an attachment not recommend-
ed may result in a risk of fire, electric 
shock, or personal injury.
23)  Do not short the battery pack. A battery 
short can cause a large current flow, 
over heating and create the risk of fire 
or personal injury.
24)  NOTE: If the supply cord of this ap-
pliance is damaged, it must only be re-
placed by a repair shop authorized by 
the manufacturer, because special pur-
pose tools are required.
25)  TO REDUCE THE RISK OF ELECTRIC 
SHOCK, THIS APPLIANCE HAS A 
POLARIZED PLUG (ONE BLADE IS 
WIDER THAN THE OTHER).
  This plug will fit in a polarized outlet  only one way. If the plug does not fit 
fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If 
it still does not fit, contact a qualified 
electrician to install the proper outlet. 
Do not change the plug in any way.

3. During charging, the charging
lamp will be lit.
When charging is completed, an
internal electronic switch will auto-
matically be triggered to prevent
overcharging.
BCharging will not start if the bat-
tery pack is warm (for example,
immediately after heavy-duty
operation). The orange standby

When charging is completed, the
charging lamp will start flashing rapidly.
5.If a fully charged battery pack is
inserted into the charger again, the
charging lamp may light up and then
flash slowly. After several minutes,
the charging lamp may flash quickly
to indicate the charging is completed.
6. If the charging lamp does not light immediately after the charger is
plugged in, or if after the standard
charging time the lamp does not go
off, consult an authorized dealer.
NOTE: • 
When a cold battery (of
about 5°C or less) is to be
