Work Area
Keep your work area clean and well lit.
Cluttered benches and dark areas invite
accidents.
Do not operate power tools in explosive
atmospheres, such as in the presence of
flammable liquids, 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 designated battery pack.
Use of
any other batteries may create a risk of fire.
Personal Safety
Stay alert, watch what you are doing, and
use common 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 inserting 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.
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.
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 application.
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 dangerous 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 cutting edge 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.
Read and understand all instructions
. Failure to follow all instructions listed
below, may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious personal injury.
