General Safety Rules -
For All Battery Operated Tools
WARNING!
READ AND UNDERSTAND 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 accidents.
• Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres,
such as in the presence of flammable liquids, 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 tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges
or moving parts. Replace damaged cords immedi-
ately. 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 operated tool only with specifically
designated battery pack. Use of any other batteries
may create a risk of fire.
Personal Safety
• Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common
sense when operating a power tool. Do not use tool
while tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol, or
medication. A moment of inattention while operating
power tools may result in serious personal injury.
• Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry.
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, non-skid 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
application. 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 dan-
gerous and must be repaired.
• Disconnect battery pack from tool or place the
switch in the locked or off position before making any
adjustments, changing accessories, or storing the
tool. Such preventative safety measures reduce the
risk of starting the tool accidentally.
• Store idle tools out of 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
edge 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
