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 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 operated tool only with the 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 clothing, jewelry, or long hair can be caught
in moving parts. Air vents often cover moving parts and should also
be avoided.
•
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 enables 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 a 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 dangerous 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.
