GENERALPOWERTOOLSAFETY,USEANDCARE
Workareasafety
oVisibility is key -- keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered and dark areas invite accidents.
oProper protective gear (safety goggles/glasses, etc.) is required when using this tool.
oDo not operate in the presence of flammable liquids, gasses, or dust. The operation of power tools creates
sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes, creating a potentially explosive atmosphere.
oAvoid distractions by working at a safe distance from any bystanders, children or pets.

Electricalsafety
oPower tool and battery charger plugs must match the outlet to reduce the risk of electric shock. Never modify
the plug in any way. Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.
oAvoid bodily contact with earthed or grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators.
There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is earthed or grounded.
oDo not expose power tools, batteries or charger to rain or wet conditions. Water can irreparably damage the
tool, battery and charger and increases the risk of electric shock.
oDo not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying or pulling/unplugging the power tool. Keep cord away
from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock.
oIf the use of a charger in a damp indoor location is unavoidable, use a ground fault circuit
interrupter/residual current device (GFCI/RCD) protected supply. The use of an GFCI /RCD reduces the risk
of electric shock.

Personalsafety
oUse care and caution when operating any power tool. Do not use a power tool while you are under the
influence of drugs, alcohol, or medication. A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in
serious personal injury.
oAlways wear eye protection. The use of personal protective equipment such as a dust mask, non-skid safety
shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used will reduce the risk of personal injuries.
oDress 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.
oPrevent unintentional starting. Your finger should remain clear of the operating switch whenever you are not
intentionally using the tool. Ensure the switch is in the off position before connecting to the 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.
oKeep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better control of the power tool in unexpected
situations. Do not overreach.

oMaintain power tools. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any other
condition that may affect the power tools operation. If damaged, have the power tool repaired before use
oKeep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely
to bind and are easier to control.
oUse the power tool, accessories, and tool bits etc. in accordance with these instructions,taking into account
the working conditions and the work to be performed. Use of the power tool for operations different from
intended could result in a hazardous situation.
oEnsure the switch is in the “off” position before inserting battery pack. Inserting the battery pack into power tools
that have the switch in the “on” position can result in an unplanned activation and cause serious injury.
oRecharge 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.
oUse power tools only with specifically designated battery packs. Use of any other battery packs may create a
risk of injury and fire.
oWhen battery packs are not in use, keep them 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.
oUnder 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.
