GENERAL SAFETY RULES
WARNING! Read all instructions
Failure to follow all instructions
listed below may result in electric
shock, re, and/or serious injury.
The term “power tool” in all of the
warnings listed below refers to your
line-operated (corded) power tool or
battery-operated (cordless) power
tool.
Work Area
Keep your work area clean and well1. lit. Cluttered benches and dark areas
invite accidents.
Do not operate power tools in2. explosive atmospheres, such as in
the presence of ammable liquids,
gases, or dust. Power tools create
sparks which may ignite the dust or
fumes.
Keep bystanders, children, and3. visitors away while operating a
power tool. Distractions can cause
you to lose control. Protect others in
the work area from debris such as chips
and sparks. Provide barriers or shields
as needed.
Electrical Safety
Avoid body contact with grounded1. surfaces such as pipes, radiators,
ranges, and refrigerators. There is an
increased risk of electric shock if your
body is grounded.
Do not expose power tools to rain2. or wet conditions. Water entering
a power tool will increase the risk of
electric shock.
Grounded tools must be plugged3. into an outlet properly installed and
grounded in accordance with all
codes and ordinances. Never remove
the grounding prong or modify the plug
in any way. Do not use any adapter
plugs. Check with a qualied electrician
if you are in doubt as to whether the
outlet is properly grounded. If the
tools should electrically malfunction or
break down, grounding provides a low
resistance path to carry electricity away
from the user.
The Charger Adapter is equipped4. with a polarized plug (one blade is
wider than the other). This plug will
t in a polarized outlet only one way.
If the plug does not t fully in the outlet,
reverse the plug. If it still does not t,
contact a qualied 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.
Do not abuse the Charger Adapter5. charging cable. Never use it to carry
the tool or pull the Adapter from an
outlet. Keep the charging cable away
from heat, oil, sharp edges, or moving
parts. Replace Charger Adapter when
charging cable is damaged.
REV 07l

SKU 95065 For technical questions, please call 1-800-444-3353 Page 3
When operating a power tool6. outside, use an outdoor extension
cord marked “W-A” or “W”. These
extension cords are rated for outdoor
use, and reduce the risk of electric
shock.
Personal Safety
Stay alert. Watch what you are1. doing, and use common sense
when operating a power tool. Do not
use a power tool while tired or under
the inuence of drugs, alcohol, or
medication. A moment of inattention
while operating power tools may result
in serious personal injury.
Dress properly.2. 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.3. Be sure
the Power Switch is off before plugging
in. Carrying power tools with your
nger on the Power Switch, or plugging
in power tools with the Power Switch
on, invites accidents.
Remove adjusting keys or wrenches4. before turning the power tool on. A
wrench or a key that is left attached to
a rotating part of the power tool may
result in personal injury.
Do not overreach.
5. Keep proper
footing and balance at all times. Proper
footing and balance enables better
control of the power tool in unexpected
situations.
Use safety equipment.6. 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 (not included) or other1. practical ways 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 the tool.2. 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 the power tool if the3. Trigger Switch does not turn it on or
off. Any tool that cannot be controlled
with the Trigger Switch is dangerous
and must be replaced.
Disconnect the Charger Adapter from4. the power source before making any
adjustments, changing accessories,
or storing the tool. Such preventive
safety measures reduce the risk of
starting the tool accidentally.
Store idle tools out of reach of5. children and other untrained
persons. Tools are dangerous in the
hands of untrained users.
Maintain tools with care.6. Keep
cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly
maintained tools with a sharp cutting
edge are less likely to bind and
are easier to control. Do not use a
damaged tool. Tag damaged tools “Do
not use” until repaired.
Check for misalignment or binding of7. 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 are8. recommended by the manufacturer
for your model. Accessories that may
be suitable for one tool may become
hazardous when used on another tool.

Service
Tool service must be performed by1.
qualied repair personnel. Service
performed by unqualied personnel
could result in a risk of injury.
When servicing a tool, use only2. identical replacement parts. Follow
instructions in the “Inspection,
Maintenance, And Cleaning” section
of this manual. Use of unauthorized
parts or failure to follow maintenance
instructions may create a risk of electric
shock or injury.
VIBRATION HAZARD
This tool vibrates during use.
Repeated or long-term exposure to vibration
may cause temporary or permanent physical
injury, particularly to the hands, arms and
shoulders. To reduce the risk of vibration-
related injury:
Anyone using vibrating tools regularly1.
or for an extended period should rst
be examined by a doctor and then have
regular medical check-ups to ensure
medical problems are not being caused
or worsened from use. Pregnant
women or people who have impaired
blood circulation to the hand, past hand
injuries, nervous system disorders,
diabetes, or Raynaud’s Disease
should not use this tool. If you feel any
medical or physical symptoms related to
vibration (such as tingling, numbness,
and white or blue ngers), seek medical
advice as soon as possible.
Do not smoke during use. Nicotine2. reduces the blood supply to the hands
and ngers, increasing the risk of
vibration-related injury.
Wear suitable gloves to reduce the3. vibration effects on the user.
Use tools with the lowest vibration when4. there is a choice between different
processes.
Include vibration-free periods each day5. of work.
Grip tool as lightly as possible (while
6. still keeping safe control of it). Let the
tool do the work.
To reduce vibration, maintain the tool7. as explained in this manual. If any
abnormal vibration occurs, stop use
immediately.
SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES

People with pacemakers should9. consult their physician(s) before
using this product. Electromagnetic
elds in close proximity to a heart
pacemaker could cause interference to
or failure of the pacemaker.
Connect the Charger Adapter to10. a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter
(GFCI) protected electrical outlet.
GROUNDING
Improperly
connecting the
grounding wire can result in
electric shock.
Check with a qualied
electrician if you are in doubt as
to whether the outlet is properly
grounded. Do not modify the
power cord plug provided with
the tool. Never remove the
grounding prong from the plug.
Do not use the tool if the power
cord or plug is damaged. If
damaged, have it repaired by
a service facility before use. If
the plug will not t the outlet,
have a proper outlet installed
by a qualied electrician.
Grounded Tools:
Tools with Three Prong Plugs
Tools marked with “Grounding1. Required” have a three wire cord
and three prong grounding plug. The
plug must be connected to a properly
grounded outlet. If the tool should
electrically malfunction or break down,
grounding provides a low resistance
path to carry electricity away from the
user, reducing the risk of electric shock.
The grounding prong in the plug is2. connected through the green wire
inside the cord to the grounding system
in the tool. The green wire in the cord
must be the only wire connected to the
tool’s grounding system and must never
be attached to an electrically “live”
terminal.
3-Prong Plug and Outlet
3. The tool must be plugged into an
appropriate outlet, properly installed
and grounded in accordance with all
codes and ordinances. The plug and
outlet should look like those in the
preceding illustration. (See 3-Prong
Plug and Outlet.)
Double Insulated Tools:
Tools with Two Prong Plugs
Tools marked “Double Insulated” do1. not require grounding. They have a
special double insulation system which
satises OSHA requirements and
complies with the applicable standards
of Underwriters Laboratories, Inc., the
Canadian Standard Association, and
the National Electrical Code.
WARNING

SKU 95065 For technical questions, please call 1-800-444-3353 Page 6
Outlets for 2-Prong Plug
2. Double insulated tools may be used in
either of the 120 volt outlets shown in
the preceding illustration. (See Outlets
for 2-Prong Plug.)
Extension Cords
Grounded1. tools require a three wire
extension cord. Double Insulated
tools can use either a two or three wire
extension cord.
As the distance from the supply outlet2. increases, you must use a heavier
gauge extension cord. Using extension
cords with inadequately sized wire
causes a serious drop in voltage,
resulting in loss of power and possible
tool damage. (See Table A.)
The smaller the gauge number of the3. wire, the greater the capacity of the
cord. For example, a 14 gauge cord
can carry a higher current than a 16
gauge cord. (See Table A.)
When using more than one extension4. cord to make up the total length, make
sure each cord contains at least the
minimum wire size required. (See
Table A.)
If you are using one extension cord for5. more than one tool, add the nameplate
amperes and use the sum to determine
the required minimum cord size. (See
Table A.)
If you are using an extension cord6. outdoors, make sure it is marked with
the sufx “W-A” (“W” in Canada) to
indicate it is acceptable for outdoor use.
Make sure the extension cord is
7. properly wired and in good electrical
condition. Always replace a damaged
extension cord or have it repaired by a
qualied electrician before using it.
Protect the extension cords from sharp8. objects, excessive heat, and damp or
wet areas.
