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 
operating 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.

 MODEL                    BATTERY PACK         CHARGER
 R84001              130252001, 130252004    140276001

                                     130254003              140276002

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 im-
mediately. 

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 medication. 

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 
protection 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 

footing 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 sup-

port 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 appli-

cation. 

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 dan-
gerous and must be repaired.

n

 

Disconnect battery pack from tool or place the switch 
in the locked or off position before making any adjust-
ments, changing accessories, or storing the tool.

 Such 

preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the 
tool accidentally.

n

 

Store  idle  tools  out  of  reach  of  children  and  other 
untrained 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 connection 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.
