POWER TOOL USE AND CARE
 Do not force power tool. Use the correct power tool for your application. The correct power tool will
do the job better and safer at the rate for which it is designed.
 Do not use the power tool if switch does not turn it on or off. Any power tool that cannot be
controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
 Disconnect the plug from the power source before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or
storing the power tool. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool
accidentally.
 Store idle power tools out of reach of children and other untrained persons. Power tools are
dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
 Maintain power tools with care. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained power tools,
with sharp cutting 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 power tools operation. If damaged, have the power tool serviced before using.
 Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc. in accordance with these instructions, taking into
account the working conditions and the work to be performed. Use of the power tool for operations
different from those intended could result in a hazardous situation.
BATTERY TOOL USE AND CARE

Recharge only with the charger specified by the manufacturer. A charger that is suitable for one type
of battery pack may create a risk of fire when used with another battery pack.

Use power tools only with specifically designated battery packs. Use of any another battery packs my
create a risk of injury and fire. Use only POWERSMART battery (Model#PS76020B).

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 burns or a fire.
