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 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
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 only with charger listed:
CHARGER . . . . . . . . . . . .AEC - 3590
Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any
way. Do not use any adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools.
Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.
Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces such as pipes,
radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric
shock if your body is earthed or grounded.
Do not 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 for carrying, pulling or unplug-
ging the power tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving
parts. Damaged or entangled cords 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 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 to lock switch in off position when not in
use. Carrying tools with your finger on the switch invites accidents.
Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. Proper foot-
ing 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.
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.
Place the switch in the locked or off position 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 of children and other untrained persons.
Tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
Maintain power tools with care. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Prop-
erly maintained tools with sharp cutting edge 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. Fol-
lowing this rule will reduce the risk of loss of control and deterioration of
the enclosure plastic.
SERVICE
Tool service must be performed only by qualified repair personnel. Service or
maintenance performed by unqualified personnel may result in a risk of injury.
When servicing a tool, use only identical replacement parts. Follow instruc-
tions in the Maintenance section of this manual. Use of unauthorized parts or
failure to follow Maintenance Instructions may create a risk of shock or injury.
