Safety Warnings
(Continued)
d) Remove any adjusting key or
wrench before turning the
power tool on.
A wrench or a
key left attached to a rotating
part of the power tool may
result in personal injury.
e) Do not overreach. Keep
proper footing and balance
at all times.
This enables better
control of the power tool in
unexpected situations.
f) Dress properly. Do not wear
loose clothing or jewelry.
Keep your hair, clothing and
gloves away from moving
parts.
Loose clothes, jewelry or
long hair can be caught in
moving parts.
g) If devices are provided for
the connection of dust
extraction and collection
facilities, ensure these are
connected and properly used.
Use of dust collection can reduce
dust-related hazards.
h) CALIFORNIA PROPOSITION 65
You can create dust
when you cut,
sand, drill or grind
materials such as
wood, paint, metal,
concrete, cement,
or other masonry. This dust often
contains chemicals known to
cause cancer, birth defects, or
other reproductive harm. Wear
protective gear.
i)
This product or its power cord
contains lead, a chemical known
to the State of California to
cause cancer and birth defects or
other reproductive harm. Wash
hands after handling.
j) Some wood contains
preservatives which can be
toxic. Take extra care to
prevent inhalation and skin
contact when working with
these materials. Request and
follow all safety information
available from your material
supplier.
k)
Do not misuse this product.
Excessive exposure to vibration,
work in awkward positions, and
repetitive work motions can
cause injury to hands and arms.
Stop using any tool if discomfort,
numbness, tingling, or pain
occur, and consult a physician.
l) Always work in a well-
ventilated area. Wear an
OSHA-approved dust mask.
m) Keep hands away from
rotating parts.
n) Use clamps or another
practical way to secure the
workpiece to a stable
platform. Never hold work in
your hand, lap, or against
other parts of your body
when drilling.
o) Before using the battery
charger, read all instructions
on the charger, battery, and
product.
p) Do not attempt to
disassemble the battery or
remove any component
projecting from the battery
terminals. Fire or injury may
result.
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 at the rate for which it
was designed.
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 are
dangerous 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
tool’s operation. If damaged,
have the power tool repaired
before use.
Many 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, 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 a hazardous
situation.
