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.
GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY WARNINGS
• Hold power tool by insulated gripping
surfaces when performing an operation
where the cutting accessory may contact
hidden wiring or its own cord. Cutting
accessory 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 not in use, place tool on its side on
a stable surface where it will not cause a
tripping or falling hazard. 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.
• Hold tool firmly with two hands, one hand
on the handle, and the other gripping
the bottom around the battery area.
Use auxiliary handle if provided. Loss of
control can cause personal injury.
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.
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
Your risk from these exposures varies,
depending on how often you do this type
of work. To reduce your exposure to these
chemicals: work in a well ventilated area,
and work with approved safety equipment,
such as those dust masks that are specially
designed to filter out microscopic particles.
• Avoid prolonged contact with dust from
power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling,
and other construction activities. Wear
protective clothing and wash exposed
areas with soap and water. Allowing dust
to get into your mouth, eyes, or lay on the
skin may promote absorption of harmful
chemicals.
WARNING
Improper connection of power outlet can
result in a risk of electric shock. Check with
a qualified electrician or service personnel if
you are in doubt as to whether the outlet is
properly grounded. Do not modify the plug
provided with the product—If it will not fit
the outlet; have a proper outlet installed by
a qualified electrician. Do not use any type
of adaptor with this product.
WARNING
ALWAYS use safety glasses. Everyday eye
glasses are NOT safety glasses. Also use
face or dust mask if cutting operation is
dusty.
