1.
Keep your work area clean and well lit.
Cluttered benches and
dark areas invite accidents.
2.
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.
3.
Keep bystanders, children, and visitors away while operat-
ing a power tool.
Distractions can cause you to lose control.
Protect others in the work area from debris such as chips and
sparks. Provide barriers or shields as needed.

SERVICE
4.
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 cre-
ate a fire.
5.
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.
6.
Use battery operated tool only with specifically designated
battery pack.
Use of any other batteries may create a risk of fire.
13.
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.
14.
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.
15.
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.
16.
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.
17.
Store idle tools out of reach of children and other untrained
persons.
Tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
18.
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.
19.
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.
20.
Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, break-
age 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. Do
not use a damaged tool. Tag damaged tools “Do not use” until re-
paired.
21.
Use only accessories that are recommended by the manu-
facturer for your model.
Accessories that may be suitable for
one tool may create a risk of injury when used on another tool.
7.
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 mo-
ment of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious
personal injury.
8.
Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Con-
tain long hair. Keep your hair, clothing, and gloves away from
moving parts.
Loose clothes, jewelry, or long hair can be caught in
moving parts.
9.
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.
10.
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.
11.
Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all
times.
Proper footing and balance enable better control of the tool
in unexpected situations.
12.
Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection.
Dust
mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection must
be used for appropriate conditions.
22.
Tool service must be performed only by qualified repair
personnel.
Service or maintenance performed by unqualified per-
sonnel may result in a risk of injury.
23.
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.
