GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY WARNINGS
 WARNING: Read all safety warnings and 
instructions. Failure to follow the warnings and 
instructions may result in electric shock, fire and/or 
serious injury.
Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.
The term “power tool” in the warnings refers to your 
battery-operated (cordless) power tool. 
WORK AREA SAFETY
◾Keep work area well lit. Dark areas invite accidents.
◾Do not operate power tools in explosive 
atmospheres, such as in the presence of 
ammable liquids, petrol or dust. Power tools create 
sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
◾Keep children and bystanders away while 
operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you 
to lose control.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY 
◾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 from battery pack. Never use 
the cord for carrying or pulling the power tool. Keep 
cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving 
parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk 
of electric.
PERSONAL SAFETY 
◾Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use 
common sense when operating a power tool. Do 
not use a power tool while you are tired or under 
the inuence of drugs, alcohol, or medication. A 
moment of inattention while operating power tools may 
result in serious personal injury.
◾Use personal protective equipment. Always wear 
eye protection. Protective equipment such as dust 
mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing 
protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce 
personal injuries.
◾Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch 
is in the off-position before connecting to battery 
pack, picking up or carrying the tool. Carrying 
power tools with your finger on the switch or 
energizing power tools that have the switch on invites 
accidents.
◾Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance 
at all times. This enables better control of the power 
tool in unexpected situations.
◾Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or 
jewelry. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away 
from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry or long hair 
can be caught in moving parts.
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 battery pack 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. 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.
◾Use the power tool and accessories 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.
BATTERY TOOL USE AND CARE
◾Recharge only with the charger specied 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 specically designated 
battery packs. Use of any other battery packs may 
create a risk of injury and fire.
