GENERAL SAFETY RULES
(For All Battery Operated Tools)
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
Keepyour work area clean and well lit. Cluttered benchesand dark areas invite
accidents.
Do notoperate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence
of flammable liquids, gases, or dust. Powertools create sparks which may ignite
the dust or fumes.
Keep bystanders, children, and visitors away while operating a power tool.
Distractions can cause
you to loose control.
Electrical Safety
*Abatteryoperatedtoolwith integralbatteriesor a separate battery pack must
be recharged only with the specified charger for the battery.
A charger that
may be suitable for onetypeof battery may create a risk of fire when usedwith
another battery.
Use battery operated tool only with specifically designated battery pack. Use
of any other batteries may create a risk of fire.
Personal Safety
Stay alert, watch what you are doing, and use commonsense when operating
a power tool. Donot usetool while tired or underthe 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 switchis in the lockedor off position before
insertingbattery pack. Carrying tools
with your finger onthe switchor inserting
the battery pack into a tool
with the switch on invites accidents.
Remove adjusting keys or switches before turning the tool on. A wrench or
a keythat is leftattachedto a rotatingpartof the tool may result
in personalinjury.
Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. Proper footing
and balance enable better control of the tool in unexpected situations.
Usesafety 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. Holdingthe 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.
@Donot 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.
Disconnect battery pack from tool or 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
accidenta
II y.
Store idle tools out of reach of children and other untrained persons. Tools are
dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
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 toanother. Shortingthe batteryterminals
together may cause sparks, burns, or
a fire.
Maintaintools with care. Keep cuttingtools sharp andclean. Properlymaintained
tools with sharp cutting edge are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
Check for misalignment or bindingof moving parts, breakageof 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.
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 atool, useonly identical replacement parts. Follow instructions
in the Maintenance section of this manual. Use of unauthorizedparts or failure
to follow Maintenance Instructions may create a risk of shock or injury.
