POWER TOOL SAFETY
Before using this tool or any of its accessories, read
this manual and follow all Safety Rules and Operating
Instructions. The important precautions, safeguards
and instructions appearing in this manual are not
meant to cover all possible situations
EYE, EAR & LUNG PROTECTION
Always wear eye protection that
conforms with CSA requirements or ANSI
safety standard z87.1
Flying debris can cause permanent
eye damage. Prescription eyeglasses
are not a replacement for proper eye
protection
WARNING
Non-compliant eyewear can cause serious injury if
broken during the operation of a power tool
Wear a dust mask that is designed to be
used when operating a power tool in a
dusty environment
WARNING
• Dust that is created by power sanding, sawing,
grinding, drilling, and other construction
activities may contain chemicals that are
known to cause cancer, birth defects, or other
genetic abnormalities. These chemicals include
• Lead from lead-based paints crystalline silica
from bricks, cement, and other masonry
products arsenic and chromium from
chemically treated lumber
• The level of risk from exposure to these
chemicals varies, according to how often
this type of work is performed. In order to
reduce exposure to these chemicals, work
in a well-ventilated area, and use approved
safety equipment, such as a dust mask that is
specifically designed to filter out microscopic
particles
• Read all safety warnings and instructions.
Failure to follow the warnings and instructions
may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious
injury
WORK AREA SAFETY
• Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or
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 spark which may ignite the dust or
fumes
• Keep children and bystanders away while
operating a power tool. Distractions can cause
you to lose control
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
• Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never
modify the plug in any way
• Do not expose power tools to rain or wet
conditions. Water entering a power tool will
increase the risk of electric shock
PERSONAL SAFETY
• Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use
common sense when operating a power tool.
Do not use a power tool while you are tired
or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or
medication. A moment of inattention while
operating power tools may result in serious
personal injury
• Use personal protective equipment. Always
wear eye protection
• Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the
switch is in the off-position before installing
the battery pack, picking up or carrying the
tool. Carrying power tools with your finger on
the switch or energising power tools that have
the switch on invites accidents
• Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and
balance at all times. This enables better control
of the power tool in unexpected situations
• Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or
jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves
away from moving parts. Loose clothes,
jewellery or long hair can be caught in moving
parts.
BATTERY TOOL USE AND CARE
• 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
• Use power tools only with specifically
designated battery packs. Use of any other
battery packs may create a risk of injury and
fire
• 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 fire
• 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

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
