[] Use only accessories that are recommended by SERVICE
the manufacturer for your model. Accessories that
may be suitable for one tool may create a risk of in-
jury when used on another tool.
Keep the tool and its hand(e dry, clean and free
from oil and grease. Always use a clean cloth when
cleaning. Never use brake fluids, gasoline, petroleum-
based products, or any strong solvents to clean your
tool. Following this rule will reduce the risk of loss of
control and deterioration of the enclosure plastic.
[]
[] Tool service must be performed only by qualified
repair personnel. Service or maintenance performed
by unqualified personnel could result in a risk of in-
jury.
[] When servicing a tool, use only identical replace-
ment parts. Follow instructions in the Mainte-
nance section of this manual. Use of unauthorized
parts or failure to follow Maintenance Instructions may
create a risk of shock or injury.
[] Hold tool by insulated gripping surfaces when
performing an operation where the cutting tool
may contact hidden wiring. Contact with a "live"
wire will also make exposed metal parts of the tool
"live" and shock the operator.
ADDiTiONAL RULES FOR SAFE
OPERATION
[] Know your power tool. Read operator's manual
carefu((y. Learn its applications and limitations,
as well as the specific potential hazards related
to this tool. Following this rule will reduce the risk
of electric shock, fire, or serious injury.
[] Always wear safety glasses with side shields.
Everyday glasses have only impact resistant
lenses. They are NOT safety glasses. Following
this rule will reduce the risk of eye injury.
RULES FOR BATTERY TOOLS
Battery tools do not have to be plugged into an
electrical outlet; therefore, they are always in
operating condition. Be aware of possible
hazards when not using your battery tool or
when changing accessories. Following this rule
will reduce the risk of electric shock, fire, or serious
personal injury.
[] Do not place battery tools or their batteries near
fire or heat. This will reduce the risk of explosion
and possibly injury.
[] Batteries vent hydrogen gas and can explode in
the presence of a source of ignition, such as a pilot
light. To reduce the risk of serious personal injury,
never use any cordless product in the presence of
open flame. An exploded battery can propel debris
and chemicals. If exposed, flush with water imme-
diately.
[] Do not charge battery tool in a damp or wet
location. Following this rule will reduce the risk of
electric shock.
[] For best results, your battery tool should be
charged in a location where the temperature is
more than 50°F but less than 100°F. Do not store
outside or in vehicles.
[] Under extreme usage or temperature condi-
tions, battery leakage may occur. If liquid
comes in contact with your skin, wash immedi-
ately with soap and water, then neutralize with
lemon juice or vinegar. If liquid gets into your
eyes, flush them with clean water for at least 10
minutes, then seek immediate medical atten-
tion. Following this rule will reduce the risk of
serious personal injury.
