General Safety Rules
WARNING
Read all safety warnings and instructions. Failure to follow
the warnings and instructions may result in electric shock,
fire and/or serious injury.
SAVE ALL WARNINGS AND INSTRUCTIONS
FOR FUTURE REFERENCE!
Work Area
•Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark
areas invite accidents.
•Do not operate equipment in explosive atmo-
spheres, such as in the presence of flammable
liquids, gases or dust. Equipment can create sparks
which may ignite the dust or fumes.
•Keep children and by-standers away while oper-
ating equipment. Distractions can cause you to lose
control.
Electrical Safety
•Double-insulated tools are equipped with a polar-
ized plug (one blade wider than the other). This
plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the
plug does not fit fully in the socket, reverse the
plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified elec-
trician to install a polarized outlet. Do not change
the plug in any way. Double insulation eliminates
the need for the three-wire grounded power cord and
grounded supply system.
•Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded sur-
faces such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrig-
erators. There is an increased risk of electrical shock
if your body is earthed or grounded.
•Do not expose equipment to rain or wet condi-
tions. Water entering equipment will increase the risk
of electrical shock.
•Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for
carrying, pulling or unplugging the equipment.
Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or
moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase
the risk of electric shock.
•If operating equipment in a damp location is un-
avoidable, use a ground fault circuit interrupter
(GFCI) protected supply. Use of a GFCI reduces
the risk of electric shock.
•Keep all electrical connections dry and off the
ground. Do not touch equipment or plugs with
wet hands. This reduces the risk of electrical shock.
Personal Safety
•Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use com-
mon sense when operating equipment. Do not
use equipment while you are tired or under the in-
fluence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment
of inattention while operating equipment may result in
serious personal injury.
•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.
•Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance
at all times. This enables better control of the equip-
ment in unexpected situations.
•Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jew-
elry. Keep your hair, clothing, and gloves away
from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry, or long
hair can be caught in moving parts.
Equipment Use and Care
•Do not force equipment. Use the correct equipment
for your application. The correct equipment will do the
job better and safer on the job for which it is designed.
•Do not use equipment if the switch does not turn it
ON and OFF. Any equipment that cannot be con-
trolled with the switch is dangerous and must be re-
paired.
•Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or
the battery pack from the equipment before making
any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing.
Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of in-
jury.
•Store idle equipment out of the reach of children
and do not allow persons unfamiliar with the equip-
ment or these instructions to operate the equip-
ment. Equipment can be dangerous in the hands of
untrained users.
•Maintain equipment. Check for misalignment or bind-
ing of moving parts, missing parts, breakage of parts
and any other condition that may affect the equip-
ment’s operation. If damaged, have the equipment
repaired before use. Many accidents are caused by
poorly maintained equipment.
•Use the equipment and accessories in accordance
with these instructions, taking into account the
working conditions and the work to be performed.
Use of the equipment for operations different from
those intended could result in a hazardous situation.
•Use only accessories that are recommended by
the manufacturer for your equipment. Accessories
that may be suitable for one piece of equipment may
become hazardous when used with other equipment.
•Keep handles dry and clean; free from oil and
grease. Allows for better control of the equipment.
Battery Tool Use And Care
•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 equipment only with specifically designated
battery packs. Use of any other battery packs may
create a risk of injury and fire.
•Do not probe battery with conductive objects.
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 acciden-
tally occurs, flush with water. If liquid contacts
eyes, additionally seek medical help. Liquid ejected
from the battery may cause irritation or burns.
•Use and store batteries and chargers in dry, ap-
propriate temperature areas. Extreme temperatures
and moisture can damage batteries and result in leak-
age, electrical shock, fire or burns.
See charger man-
ual for more information.
•Do not cover charger while in use. Proper ventilation
is required for correct operation. Covering charger in
use could result in fire.
•Properly dispose of batteries. Exposure to high
temperatures can cause the batteries to explode, so do
not dispose of in a fire. Some countries have regula-
tions concerning battery disposal. Please follow all
applicable regulations.
Service
•Have your equipment serviced by a qualified repair
person using only identical replacement parts. This
will ensure that the safety of the equipment is main-
tained.
• Remove the batteries and refer servicing to qualified
service personnel under any of the following conditions:
• If liquid has been spilled or objects have fallen into
product;
• If product does not operate normally by following
the operating instructions;
• If the product has been dropped or damaged in
any way; or,
• When the product exhibits a distinct change in
performance.
