Only use safety equipment that has been approved by an appropriate standards agency. Unapproved
safety equipment may not provide adequate protection.
Power tool use and care
Do not force tools. 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 a power tool if the switch does not turn it on or off. Any power tool that cannot be controlled
with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or the battery pack from the power tool before making
any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing the tool. Such preventive safety measures reduce risk
of starting the tool accidentally.
Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and other untrained persons. Power tools are
dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
Maintain tools with care. 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.
Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to
bind and are easier to control.
Use only accessories that are recommended by the manufacturer for your model. Accessories that may
be suitable for one tool may become hazardous when used on another tool.
Battery tool use and care
Ensure the switch is in the off position before inserting the battery pack. Insert the battery pack into power
tools that have the switch on invites accidents.
Recharge only with the charger specified 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 specifically designated battery packs. Use of any other battery packs may create
a risk of injury and fire.
When battery pack is not in use, keep it away from other metal objects like paper clips, coins, keys, nails,
screws, or other small metal objects that can make a connection from one terminal to another. Shorting
the battery terminals together may cause burns or a fire.
Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from the battery, avoid contact. If contact accidentally
occurs, flush with water. If liquid contacts eyes, additionally seek medical help. Liquid ejected from the
battery may cause irritation or burns.
Service
Have your power tool service by qualified repair person using only identical replacement parts. This will
ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.
Additional warnings applicable for drills
Use auxiliary handles supplied with the tool. Loss of control can cause personal injury.
Hold power tools by insulated gripping surfaces when performing an operation where the cutting tool
may contact hidden wiring or its own cord. Contact with a “live” wire will make exposed metal parts of
the tool “live” and shock the operator.
Use clamps or other practical way to secure and support the work piece to a stable platform. Holding the
work by hand or against your body is unstable and may lead to loss of control.
Do not drill, fasten or break into existing walls or other blind areas where electrical wiring may exist. If
this situation is unavoidable, disconnect all fuses or circuit breakers feeding this work site.
