
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.
BATTERY TOOL USE AND cARE

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

person using only identical replacement parts.
This will
ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.


When servicing a power tool, use only identical replace-

GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY WARNINGS

Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces, when
performing an operation where the cutting accessory
may contact hidden wiring. Cutting accessory contact-
ing a “live” wire may make exposed metal parts of the
power tool “live” and could give the operator an electric
shock.

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 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.
Following 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.
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 pos-
sibly 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 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, bat-
tery leakage may occur. If liquid comes in contact with
your skin, wash immediately with soap and water. 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 seri-
ous personal injury.

