 

Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance 

at all times. 

Proper footing and balance enable better 

control of the tool in unexpected situations.

 

Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection.

 

Dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing 

protection must be used for appropriate conditions.

 

Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Contain long 

hair. 

Loose clothes, jewelry, or long hair can be drawn 

into air vents.

 

Do not use on a ladder or unstable support. 

Stable 

footing on a solid surface enables better control of the 

tool in unexpected situations.

TOOL USE AND CARE

 

Use clamps or other practical way to secure and 

support the workpiece to a stable platform. 

Holding 

the work by hand or against your body is unstable and 

may lead to loss of control.

 

Do not force tool. Use the correct tool for your ap-

plication. 

The correct tool will do the job better and 

safer at the rate for which it is designed.

 

Do not use tool if switch does not turn it on or off.

 

A tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is dan-

gerous and must be repaired.

 

Disconnect battery pack from tool or place the 

switch in the locked or off position before making 

any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing 

the tool.

 Such preventive safety measures reduce the 

risk of starting the tool accidentally.

 

Store idle tools out of reach of children and other 

untrained persons. 

Tools are dangerous in the hands 

of untrained users.

 

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 

sparks, burns, or a fire.

 

Maintain tools with care. Keep cutting tools sharp 

and clean. 

Properly maintained tools with sharp cut-

ting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to 

control.

 

Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, 

breakage of parts, and any other condition that 

may affect the tool’s operation. If damaged, have 

the tool serviced before using. 

Many accidents are 

caused by poorly maintained tools.

 

Use only accessories that are recommended by the 

manufacturer for your model.

 Accessories that may 

be suitable for one tool may create a risk of injury when 

used on another tool.

 

Keep the tool and its handle dry, clean and free 

from oil and grease.

 Always use a clean cloth when 

cleaning. Never use brake fluids, gasoline, petroleum-

based products, or any strong solvents to clean your 

tool. Following this rule will reduce the risk of loss of 

control and deterioration of the enclosure plastic.

GENERAL SAFETY RULES

WARNING! 

READ AND UNDERSTAND ALL IN-

STRUCTIONS.

 Failure to follow all instructions listed 

below, may result in electric shock, fire and/or seri-
ous personal injury.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

WORK AREA

 

Keep your work area clean and well lit. 

Cluttered 

benches and dark areas invite accidents.

 

Do not operate power tools in explosive atmo-

spheres, such as in the presence of flammable liq-

uids, gases, or dust.

  Power tools create sparks which 

may ignite the dust or fumes.

 

Keep bystanders, children, and visitors away while 

operating a power tool. 

Distractions can cause you to 

lose control.

ELECTRICAL SAFETY

 

A battery operated tool with integral batteries or a 

separate battery pack must be recharged only with 

the specified charger for the battery. 

A charger that 

may be suitable for one type of battery may create a 

risk of fire when used with another battery.  

 

Use battery operated tool only with specifically des-

ignated battery pack. 

Use of any other batteries may 

create a risk of fire. 

 

Use battery only with charger listed.

 

Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord to carry 

the charger. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp 

edges, or moving parts. Replace damaged cords 

immediately. 

Damaged cords may create a fire.

PERSONAL SAFETY

 

Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use com-

mon sense when operating a power tool. Do not 

use tool while tired or under the influence of drugs, 

alcohol, or medication.

 A moment of inattention while 

operating power tools may result in serious personal 

injury.

 

Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or 

jewelry. Contain long hair. Keep your hair, clothing, 

and gloves away from moving parts. 

Loose clothes, 

jewelry, or long hair can be caught in moving parts.

 

Avoid accidental starting. Be sure switch is in the 

locked or off position before inserting battery pack. 

Carrying tools with your finger on the switch or insert-

ing the battery pack into a tool with the switch on 

invites accidents.

 

Remove adjusting keys or wrenches before turning 

the tool on. 

A wrench or a key that is left attached to a 

rotating part of the tool may result in personal injury.
