GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY WARNINGS
POWER TOOL USE AND CARE
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.
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.
Disconnect the plug from the power source and/
or remove the battery pack, if detachable, 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.
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.
Maintain power tools and accessories. 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.
Keep cutting tools sharp and clean.
Properly main-
tained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less
likely to bind and are easier to control.
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.
Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry, clean and
free from oil and grease.
Slippery handles and grasping
surfaces do not allow for safe handling and control of the
tool in unexpected situations.
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 bat-
tery 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 a fire.
Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from
the battery; avoid contact. If contact accidentally
occurs, flush with water. If liquid contacts eyes, ad-
ditionally seek medical help.
Liquid ejected from the
battery may cause irritation or burns.
Do not use a battery pack or tool that is damaged or
modified.
Damaged or modified batteries may exhibit
unpredictable behavior resulting in fire, explosion or risk
of injury.
Do not expose a battery pack or tool to fire or exces-
sive temperature.
Exposure to fire or temperature above
265°F may cause explosion.
Follow all charging instructions and do not charge the
battery pack or tool outside the temperature range
specified in the instructions.
Charging improperly or at
temperatures outside the specified range may damage
the battery and increase the risk of fire.
SERVICE
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.
Never service damaged battery packs.
Service of bat-
tery packs should only be performed by the manufacturer
or authorized service providers.
