GENERAL SAFETY RULES
WARNING!
READ AND UNDERSTAND ALL INSTRUCTIONS.
Failure to follow all instructions listed below, may
result in electric shock, fire and/or serious personal
injury.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
WORK AREA
n
Keep your work area clean and well lit. Cluttered benches
and dark areas invite accidents.
n
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.
n
Keep bystanders, children, and visitors away while oper-
ating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose
control.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
n
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.
n
Use battery operated tool only with specifically designated
battery pack. Use of any other batteries may create a risk
of fire.
n
Use battery only with charger listed.

n
Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord to carry the
charger. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges,
or moving parts. Replace damaged cords immediately.
Damaged cords may create a fire.
PERSONAL SAFETY
n
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 medica-
tion. A moment of inattention while operating power tools
may result in serious personal injury.
n
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.
n
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.
n
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.
n
Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all
times. Proper footing and balance enable better control
of the tool in unexpected situations.
n
Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection. Dust
mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing pro-
tection must be used for appropriate conditions.
n
Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Contain long hair.
Loose clothes, jewelry, or long hair can be drawn into air
vents.
n
Do not use on a ladder or unstable support. Stable foot-
ing on a solid surface enables better control of the tool
in unexpected situations.
TOOL USE AND CARE
n
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.
n
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.
n
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.
n
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 ac-
cidentally.
n
Store idle tools out of reach of children and other un-
trained persons. Tools are dangerous in the hands of
untrained users.
n
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 connec-
tion from one terminal to another. Shorting the battery
terminals together may cause sparks, burns, or a fire.
n
Maintain tools with care. Keep cutting tools sharp and
clean. Properly maintained tools with sharp cutting edges
are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
n
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.
n
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.
n
Keep the tool and its handle dry, clean and free from
oil and grease. Always use a clean cloth when clean-
ing. Never use brake fluids, gasoline, petroleum-based
products, or any strong solvents to clean your tool. Fol-
lowing this rule will reduce the risk of loss of control and
deterioration of the enclosure plastic.
