Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other construction
activities contains chemicals known to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive
harm. Some examples of these chemicals are:
• leadfromlead-basedpaints,
• crystallinesilicafrombricksandcementandothermasonryproducts,and
• arsenicandchromiumfromchemically-treatedlumber.
Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how often you do this type of
work. To reduce your exposure to these chemicals: work in a well ventilated area, and
work with approved safety equipment, such as those dust masks that are specially
designed to filter out microscopic particles.

GENERAL SAFETY INFORMATION
(FOR ALL BATTERY OPERATED TOOLS)
WARNING:
Read and understand all instructions. Failure to follow
all instructions listed below, may result in electric
shock, fire, explosion and/or serious personal injury.
It is the responsibility of the owner to make sure all
personnel read this manual prior to using the device. It
is also the responsibility of the device owner to keep
this manual intact and in a convenient location for all to
see and read. If the manual or product labels are lost
or not legible, contact Matco Tools for replacements. If
the operator is not fluent in English, the product and
safety instructions shall be read and discussed with
the operator in the operator's native language by the
purchaser/owner or his designee, making sure that the
operator comprehends its contents.
Work Area Safety
1. Keep your work area clean and well lit.
Cluttered benches and dark areas invite accidents.
2. 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.
3. Keep bystanders, children, and visitors away while operating
a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control and
endanger others.
Electrical Safety
4. 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.
5. Use battery operated tool only with specifically designated
battery pack. Use of any other batteries may create a risk
of fire.
Personal Safety
6. 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.
7. 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.
8. Avoid accidental starting. Be sure switch is in the locked or
"off" position before inserting battery pack. Carrying tools
with your finger on the switch or inserting the battery pack
into a tool with the switch on invites accidents.
9. Remove adjusting keys or wrenches before turning the tool
on. A wrench or a key that is left attached to a rotating part
of the tool may result in personal injury.
10.Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all
times. Proper footing and balance enable better control of
the tool in unexpected situations.
11. 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
12. Use clamps or another 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.
13. Do not force tool. Use the correct tool for your application.
14. 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.
15. 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
accidentally.
16. Store idle tools out of reach of children and other untrained
persons. Tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained
users.
17. 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 sparks, burns, or a fire.
18. 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.
19.This product may contain one or more chemicals known
to the State of California to cause cancer and birth
defects or other reproductive harm. Wash hands thoroughly
after handling.
Service
20. Tool service must be performed only by the MATCO
authorized service centers listed. Service or maintenance
performed by unqualified personnel may result in a risk of
injury. Repair by unqualified personnel, use of unauthorized
parts, and failure to follow maintenance instructions may
create a risk of shock or injury.
