1. General Power Tool Safety Warnings

A Warning! Read all safety warnings, instructions, illustrations, and specifications provided with this power tool. Failure to follow all instructions may result in electric shock, fire, and/or serious injury. Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.

The term "power tool" refers to mains-operated or battery-operated tools.

1) Work Area Safety

• Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
• Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres (e.g., presence of flammable liquids, gases, or dust). Power tools create sparks which may ignite dust or fumes.
• Keep children and bystanders away while operating. Distractions can cause loss of control.

2) Electrical Safety

• Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug. Do not use adapter plugs with earthed power tools.
• Avoid body contact with earthed surfaces (pipes, radiators, ranges, refrigerators). Increased risk of electric shock.
• Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering the tool increases electric shock risk.
• Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling, or unplugging. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges, or moving parts. Damaged cords increase electric shock risk.
• When operating outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for outdoor use.
• If operating in a damp location is unavoidable, use a residual current device (RCD) protected supply.

3) Personal Safety

• Stay alert, watch what you are doing, and use common sense. Do not use while tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol, or medication.
• Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection. Use dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection as appropriate.
• Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the off-position before connecting to power, picking up, or carrying the tool.
• Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the tool on.
• Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance.
• Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep hair and clothing away from moving parts.
• If dust extraction facilities are provided, ensure they are connected and used properly.
• Do not let familiarity gained from frequent use lead to complacency. A careless action can cause severe injury.

4) Power Tool Use and Care

• Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for your application.
• Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it on and off. Such tools are dangerous and must be repaired.
• Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or remove the battery pack before making adjustments, changing accessories, or storing.
• Store idle power tools out of the reach of children. Do not allow untrained persons to operate the tool.
• Maintain power tools and accessories. Check for misalignment, binding, or breakage. Have damaged tools repaired before use.
• Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Sharp edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
• Use the power tool, accessories, and tool bits in accordance with these instructions, considering working conditions and the work to be performed.
• Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry, clean, and free from oil and grease.

5) Service

• Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair person using only identical replacement parts.

6) Battery Tool Use and Care

• Ensure the switch is in the off position before inserting the battery pack.
• Recharge only with the charger specified by the manufacturer.
• Use power tools only with specifically designated battery packs.
• When the battery pack is not in use, keep it away from other metal objects (paper clips, coins, keys, nails, screws) that can short terminals. Shorting terminals may cause burns or fire.
• Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from the battery. Avoid contact. If contact occurs, flush with water. Seek medical help if liquid contacts eyes.

Additional Safety Instructions for Battery Charging

• Before charging, read the instructions.
• Recharge only with USB power supply - 5V DC.
• Do not charge a leaking battery.
• Do not use chargers for works other than those for which they are specified.
• The charging device must be protected from moisture.
• Do not use the charging device outdoors.
• Do not short out the contacts of battery or power supply.
• Do not open the unit and keep out of the reach of children.
• Ensure the connection between the battery charger and battery is correctly positioned and not obstructed.
• When charging batteries, ensure the battery charger is in a well-ventilated area, away from inflammable materials. Batteries can get hot during charging. Do not overcharge. Ensure batteries and chargers are not left unsupervised.
• Longer life and better performance are obtained if the battery is charged when the air temperature is between 18°C and 24°C. Do not charge the battery in air temperatures below 4°C or above 40°C.

Additional Safety Instructions Related to Battery Safety

• Charge the tool only with 5V DC power supply, strictly according to instructions.
• Do not charge the battery in a place where static electricity is generated, nor let the battery touch something statically charged.
• The battery can be stored at temperatures between 4°C (40°F) and 40°C (104°F).
• Never store or leave your lithium ion battery in temperatures over that recommended, otherwise fire may occur.
• DO NOT store the Lithium Ion battery anywhere that the temperature can easily reach higher temperatures than recommended (e.g., garden sheds, vehicles in direct sunlight).
• Never charge or use the Lithium Ion battery below 4°C (40°F) or above 40°C (104°F).
• The most suitable temperatures to charge the battery pack are between 20°C (68°F) - 25°C (77°F).
• Always allow the battery pack to cool down after charging. Do not place it in a hot environment.
• Store the tool in a dry and frost-proof place, away from corrosive fumes or salt air. Store in original packaging if possible.
• Do not dispose of the battery in a fire or put it into a microwave oven, conventional oven, dryer, or high-pressure container, as it may explode.
• Never attempt to open the battery pack, puncture it, or subject it to strong physical shock.
• If you detect leakage or a foul odour, keep the battery away from fire. If battery liquid leaks onto skin or clothes, wash well with clean water immediately. If liquid contacts eyes, rinse well with clean water (for at least 10 minutes) and consult a doctor.
• Do not use a leaking battery.
• Handle batteries with care to avoid shorting the battery with conducting materials (nails, screws, metal watch bands, rings, bracelets, keys). The battery may overheat and burn you.
• Recycle batteries at your local municipal council recycling centre. Do not attempt to replace battery cells, repair, or modify the battery pack assembly.

When to Charge the Battery

• New batteries are shipped in a low charged condition and should be fully charged before use.
• The battery pack can be recharged at any time during use, provided the pack is not overheated.
• If the battery pack starts to cut out due to low voltage, or tasks can no longer be performed, stop using the tool and recharge the battery.
• For storage, recharge the battery between 50% and 75% charge.
