SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
-2-
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 by-standers, children, and visitors
away while operating a power tool.
Distractions can cause you to lose control.
Electrical Safety
Double Insulated tools are equipped with a
polarized plug (one blade is wider than the
other.) This plug will fit in a polarized outlet
only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in
the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does
not fit, contact a qualified electrician to
install a polarized outlet. Do not change
the plug in any way.
Double Insulation
eliminates the need for the three wire
grounded power cord and grounded power
supply system.
Before plugging in the tool, be
certain the outlet voltage supplied is within the
voltage marked on the nameplate. Do not use
“AC only” rated tools with a DC power supply.
Avoid body contact with grounded surfaces
such as pipes, radiators, ranges and
refrigerators
. There is an increased risk of
electric shock if your body is grounded.
If
operating the power tool in damp locations is
unavoidable, a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter
must be used to supply the power to your tool.
Electrician’s rubber gloves and footwear will
further enhance your personal safety.
Don't expose power tools to rain or wet
conditions
. Water entering a power tool will
increase the risk of electric shock.
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 im-
mediately.
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
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 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
