3
collection facilities, ensure these
are connected and properly used.
Use of dust collection can reduce dust-
related hazards.
4) POWER TOOL USE AND CARE
a) Do not force the power tool. Use
the correct power tool for your
application. The correct power tool will
do the job better and safer at the rate
for which it was designed.
b) Do not use the power tool if the
switch does not turn it on and
off. Any power tool that cannot
be controlled with the switch is
dangerous and must be repaired.
c) Disconnect the plug from the power
source and/or the battery pack from
the power tool before making any
adjustments, changing accessories,
or storing power tools. Such preventive
safety measures reduce the risk of
starting the power tool accidentally.
d) Store idle power tools out of
the reach of children and do not
allow persons unfamiliar with the
power tool or these instructions
to operate the power tool. Power
tools are dangerous in the hands of
untrained users.
e) Maintain power tools. Check for
misalignment or binding of moving
parts, breakage of parts and any
other condition that may affect the
power tool’s operation. If damaged,
have the power tool repaired before
use. Many accidents are caused by
poorly maintained power tools.
f) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean.
Properly maintained cutting tools with
sharp cutting edges are less likely to
bind and are easier to control.
g) 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.
5) BATTERY TOOL USE AND CARE
a) 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.
b) Use power tools only with
specifically designated battery
packs. Use of any other battery packs
may create a risk of injury and fire.
c) 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.
d) 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.
6) SERVICE
a) 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.
SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES
• Hold power tool by insulated gripping
surfaces, when performing an operation
where the fastener may contact hidden
wiring. Fasteners contacting 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 work piece
to a stable platform. Holding the work
by hand or against your body leaves it
unstable and may lead to loss of control.
• When working on a ladder or on
scaffolding be sure to lay the tool down
on its side when not in use. Some tools
with large battery packs will stand upright
but may be easily knocked over.
• Keep your hair, clothing, and gloves
away from air vents. Air vents often
cover moving parts in which these items
can be caught.
WARNING:
ALWAYS use safety
glasses. Everyday eyeglasses are NOT
safety glasses. Also use face or dust mask
if drilling operation is dusty. ALWAYS
WEAR CERTIFIED SAFETY EQUIPMENT:
• ANSI Z87.1 eye protection (CAN/CPA
Z94.3),
• ANSI S12.6 (S3.19) hearing protection,
• NOSH/OSHA respiratory protection.
WARNING:
Some dust created by
power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling,
and other construction activities
contains chemicals known to the State of
California to cause cancer, birth defects
or other reproductive harm. Some
examples of these chemicals are:
• lead from lead-based paints,
• crystalline silica from bricks and cement
and other masonry products, and
• arsenic and chromium from chemically-
treated lumber.
