WARNING:

Read and follow 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 accident.

Do not operate power tools in explosive atmo-
spheres, such as in the presence of flammable liq-
uids, 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

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.

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 only
with charger listed.

Use battery operated tool only with specifically des-
ignated battery pack. 

Use of any other batteries may

create a risk of fire. Use only with battery pack listed.

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, al-
cohol, or medication. 

A  moment of inattention while

operating power tools may result in serious personal in-
jury.

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 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, nonskid 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 appli-
cation. 

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 ad-
justments, changing accessories, or storing tool.

Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of start-
ing the tool accidentally.

Store idle tools out of the 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.

Service

Tool service must be performed by qualified repair
personnel. 

Service or maintenance performed by un-

qualified personnel may result in a risk of injury.

When servicing a tool, use only identical replace-
ment 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.
