Important Safety Instructions
Important Safety Instructions
Work Area Safety
• Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered
or dark areas invite accidents.
• 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.
• Keep children and bystanders away while
operating a power tool. Distractions can cause
you to lose control.
Electrical Safety
• Charger plugs must match the outlet. Never
modify the plug in any way. Unmodified plugs
and matching outlets will reduce risk of electric
shock.
• Do not expose the charger to rain or wet
conditions. Water entering the charger will
increase the risk of electric shock.
• Do not charge outdoors.
• Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord
for carrying, pulling or unplugging the
charger. Keep cord away from heat, oil,
sharp edges, or moving parts. Damaged or
entangled cords increase the risk of electric
shock.
• Do not use with a damaged cord or plug. If
the battery charger is not working as it should,
has been dropped, damaged, left outdoors, or
dropped into water, return it to a service center.
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 influence of
drugs, alcohol, or medication. A moment
of inattention while operating power tools may
result in serious personal injury. Maintain correct
working posture, firm footing, and balance during
operation. Reduce fatigue by varying working
position or with rest periods.
• 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 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.
• Remove any adjusting key or wrench before
turning the power tool on. A wrench or a key
left attached to a rotating part of the power too
may result in personal injury.
• 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 variable
speed trigger 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 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 appliances indoors. When not in
use, appliances should be stored indoors in a
dry and high or locked-up place out of reach
of children. 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. See “Inspection” in this manual.
Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained
power tools.
