WORK AREA SAFETY
◾
Keep work area well lit. Dark areas invite accidents.

result in serious personal injury.
◾
Use personal protective equipment. Always wear
eye protection.
Protective equipment such as dust
mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing
protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce
personal injuries.
◾
Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch
is in the off-position before connecting to battery
pack, picking up or carrying the tool.
Carrying
power tools with your finger on the switch or

tool for your application.
The correct power tool will
do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was
designed.
◾
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.
◾
Disconnect the plug from 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.
◾
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.
