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 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
•
Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord to carry the tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving
parts. Replace damaged cords immediately.
Damaged cords may create a fire.
•
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 enables 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 work piece 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 the 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.
•
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.
SERVICE
•
Tool service must be performed only by qualified repair personnel.
Service or maintenance performed by unqualified
personnel may result in a risk of injury.
•
When servicing a tool, use only identical replacement parts. Follow instructions in the Maintenance section of this
manual.
Use of unauthorized parts or failure to follow Maintenance Instructions may create a risk of shock or injury.
