GENERAL SAFETY RULES
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 atmo-
spheres, 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
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.
Use battery only with charger listed.

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.
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, jewelry, 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.
Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Contain long
hair.
Loose clothes, jewelry, or long hair can be drawn
into air vents.
Do not use on a ladder or unstable support.
Stable
footing on a solid surface enables better control of the
tool in unexpected situations.
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
dangerous and must be repaired.
Disconnect battery pack from tool or place the switch
in the locked or off position before making any adjust-
ments, changing accessories, or storing the tool.
Such
preventive 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 edges 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
manufacturer for your model.
Accessories that may be
suitable for one tool may create a risk of injury when used
on another tool.
Keep the tool and its handle dry, clean and free
from oil and grease.
Always use a clean cloth when
cleaning. Never use brake fluids, gasoline, petroleum-
based products, or any strong solvents to clean your tool.
Following this rule will reduce the risk of loss of control
and deterioration of the enclosure plastic.
