oDo not force the power tool. Use the correct power for your application. The correct power tool will do the
job better and safer at the rate for which it was designed.
oDo not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it on and off. Any power tool that cannot be controlled
with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
oDisconnect the plug from the power source and/or 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.
oStore power tools out of the reach of children and 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.
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.
oDo not store or charge batteries in a location subject to extreme temperatures. Recommended temperature
range for charging is 32 to 113 degrees Fahrenheit. Recommended temperature range for discharge/use is -4
to 140 degrees Fahrenheit.
Service
oHave your power tool serviced by qualified repair person using only identical replacement parts. This will
ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained
