GENERAL SAFETY RULES
WARNING: Read and understand
all instructions. Failure to follow all
instructions listed below may result in
electric shock, fire and/or serious personal
injury.
WORK AREA
Keep your work area clean and well-lit.
Cluttered benches and dark areas invite
accidents.
Do not operate power tools in explosive
environments, such as in the presence
of flammable liquids, gas or dust. Power
tools create sparks which may ignite the
dust or fumes.
Keep bystanders, children and visitors
away while operating the tool.
Distractions can cause you to lose control.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
Double insulated battery chargers 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 alter the plug in
any way. Double insulation eliminates the
need for the three wire grounded power
cord and grounded power supply system.
Use only the battery charger specified
for recharging the battery. This applies
to both battery-operated tools with
internal batteries and those with a
removable battery pack. A charger that
may be suitable for one type of battery may
create a risk of fire when used with another
battery.
Only use battery-operated tools with
their specifically designed battery pack.
Use of other batteries may create a risk of
fire.
Only use the charger in a standard
120 V, 60 Hz electrical outlet only.
Avoid body contact with grounded
surfaces such as pipes, radiators,
ranges and refrigerators. There is
increased risk of electric shock if your body
is grounded.
Don’t expose charger to rain or wet
conditions. Water entering the charger will
increase the risk of electric shock.
Do not abuse the cord. Never use the
cord to carry the charger or pull the plug
from an outlet. Keep cord away from heat,
oil, sharp edges and moving parts. Replace
damaged cords immediately. Damaged
cords increase the risk of electric shock.
When operating the charger outside, use
an outdoor extension cord marked “W-
A” or “W”. These cords are rated for
outdoor use and reduce 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 the 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.
Use safety equipment. Always wear eye
protection. Dust mask, non-skid safety
shoes, hard hat or hearing protection must
be used for appropriate conditions.
