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

 

Keep  your  work  area  clean  and  well  lit.  Cluttered 

benches and dark areas invite accidents.

 

Do  not  operate  power  tools  in  explosive  atmo-

spheres,  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

 

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. 

 

Use battery only with charger listed.

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 enable 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.

 

Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Contain long 

hair. Loose clothes, jewelry, or long hair can be drawn 

into air vents.

 

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

 

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.

 

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 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 adjust-

ments, 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  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 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.
