GENERAL SAFETY RULES

SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES

BATTERY TOOL USE AND CARE

 

Ensure the switch is in the off position before inserting 

battery pack. 

Inserting the battery pack into power tools 

that have the switch on invites accidents.

 

Recharge  only  with  the  charger  specified  by  the 

manufacturer. 

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.

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.

WARNING!

To reduce the risk of injury, user must read instruction 
manual.

 

When  servicing  a  power  tool,  use  only  identical 

replacement  parts.  Follow  instructions  in  the 

Maintenance section of this manual.

 Use of unauthorized 

parts or failure to follow Maintenance instructions may 
create a risk of shock or injury.

 

Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces when 

performing an operation where the cutting tool may 

contact hidden wiring or its own cord. 

Contact with a 

“live” wire will make exposed metal parts of the tool “live” 
and shock the operator.

 

Use clamps or another practical way to secure and 

support the workpiece to a stable platform.

 Holding 

the work by hand or against your body leaves it unstable 
and may lead to loss of control

 

Know  your  power  tool.  Read  operator’s  manual 

carefully.  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 safety glasses with side shields. 

Everyday 

glasses have only impact resistant lenses. They are NOT 
safety glasses. Following this rule will reduce the risk of 
eye 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 

electrical  outlet;  therefore,  they  are  always  in 

operating  condition.  Be  aware  of  possible  hazards 

when not using your battery tool or when changing 

accessories. 

Following 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 vent hydrogen gas and 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 presence 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. 

Following this rule will reduce the risk of electric shock.

 

For best results, your battery tool should be charged 

in  a  location  where  the  temperature  is  more  than 

50°F but less than 100°F.  

To reduce the risk of serious 

personal injury, do not store outside or in vehicles.

 

Under  extreme  usage  or  temperature  conditions, 

battery leakage may occur. If liquid comes in contact 

with your skin, wash immediately with soap and water, 

then neutralize with lemon juice or vinegar. If liquid 

gets into your eyes, flush them with clean water for 

at  least  10  minutes,  then  seek  immediate  medical 

attention. 

Following this rule will reduce the risk of serious 

personal injury.

 

If  the  power  supply  cord  is  damaged, 

it  must  be 

replaced only by the manufacturer or by an authorized 
service center to avoid risk.

  

Save these instructions. 

Refer to them frequently and 

use them to instruct others who may use this tool. If you 
loan someone this tool, loan them these instructions also 
to prevent misuse of the product and possible injury.
