GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY WARNINGS
the power tool’s operation. If damaged, have the
power tool repaired before use.
Many accidents
are caused by poorly maintained power tools.

Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained
cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind
and are easier to control.

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.

Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry, clean and
free from oil and grease.
Slippery handles and grasping
surfaces do not allow for safe handling and control of the
tool in unexpected situations.
BATTERY TOOL USE AND CARE

Recharge only with the charger specified by the manu-
facturer.
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 other battery packs may create a risk of
injury and fire.

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.

Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from
the battery; avoid contact. If contact accidentally occurs,
flush with water. If liquid contacts eyes, additionally seek
medical help.
Liquid ejected from the battery may cause
irritation or burns.

Do not use a battery pack or tool that is damaged or
modified.
Damaged or modified batteries may exhibit
unpredictable behavior resulting in fire, explosion or risk of
injury.

Do not expose a battery pack or tool to fire or excessive
temperature.
Exposure to fire or temperature above 265° F
may cause explosion.

Follow all charging instructions and do not charge the
battery pack or tool outside the temperature range
specified in the instructions.
Charging improperly or at
temperatures outside the specified range may damage the
battery and increase the risk of fire.
SERVICE

Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair
person using only identical replacement parts.
This will
ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.

Never service damaged battery packs. Service of battery
packs should only be performed by the manufacturer or
authorized service providers.

Use auxiliary handle(s), if supplied with the tool. Loss
of control can cause personal injury.

Hold the power tool by insulated gripping surfaces,
when performing an operation where the cutting
accessory or fasteners may contact hidden wiring.
Cutting accessory contacting a “live” wire may make
exposed metal parts of the power tool “live” and could
give the operator an electric shock.

Know your power tool. Read operator’s manual care-
fully. Learn its applications and limitations, as well as
the specific potential hazards related to this power tool.
Following this rule will reduce the risk of electric shock, fire,
or serious injury.

Always wear eye protection with side shields marked
to comply with ANSI Z87.1 when assembling parts,
operating the tool, or performing maintenance.
Follow-
ing this rule will reduce the risk of serious personal injury.

Protect your lungs. Wear a face or dust mask if the
operation is dusty.
Following this rule will reduce the risk
of serious personal injury.

Protect your hearing. Wear hearing protection during
extended periods of operation.
Following this rule will
reduce the risk of serious personal injury.

Battery tools do not have to be plugged into an elec-
trical outlet; therefore, they are always in operating
condition. Be aware of possible hazards when not using
your battery tool or when changing accessories.
Fol-
lowing this rule will reduce the risk of electric shock, fire,
or serious personal injury.

Do not place battery tools or their batteries near fire
or heat.
This will reduce the risk of explosion and possibly
injury.

Do not crush, drop or damage battery pack. Do not
use a battery pack or charger that has been dropped
or received a sharp blow.
A damaged battery is subject
to explosion. Properly dispose of a dropped or damaged
battery immediately.

Batteries can explode in the presence of a source of
ignition, such as a pilot light.
To reduce the risk of serious
personal injury, never use any cordless product in the pres-
ence of open flame. An exploded battery can propel debris
and chemicals. If exposed, flush with water immediately.

Do not charge battery tool in a damp or wet location.
Do not use, store, or charge battery packs or products
in locations where the temperature is less than 50°F
or more than 100°F.
Do not store outside or in vehicles
.
