GENERAL SAFETY RULES

WARNING:

Read and understand all instructions.

  Failure to

follow all instructions listed below, may result in elec-
tric 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 may 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.

BATTERY PACK

CHARGER

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

Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use com-
mon 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 jew-
elry. Contain long hair. Keep your hair, clothing, and
gloves away from moving parts.

 Loose clothes, jew-

elry, 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 insert-
ing the battery pack into a tool with the switch on in-
vites accidents.

Remove adjusting keys or wrenches before turn-
ing the tool on.

 A wrench or a key that is left attached

to a rotating part of the tool may result in personal in-
jury.

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.

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 ap-
plication. 

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 danger-
ous and must be repaired.

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.

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 cut-

ting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to con-
trol.

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.

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.
