(3) Do not use tool if switch does not turn it on or off. Any tool that cannot be controlled with the switch
is dangerous and must be repaired.
(4) Disconnect battery pack from tool or place the switch in the locked or off position before making any
adjustments, changing accessories, or storing the tools. Such preventive safety measures reduce the
risk of starting the tool accidentally.
(5) Store idle tools out of reach of children and other untrained persons. Tools are dangerous in the hands
of untrained users.
(6) 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 sparks, burns, or a fire.
(7) Maintain tools with care. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained tools, with sharp
cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
(8) Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, and any other condition that
may affect the tools operation. If damaged, have the tool serviced before using. Many accidents are
caused by poorly maintained tools.
(9) Use only accessories that are recommended by the manufacturer for your model. Accessories that may
be suitable for one tool, may become hazardous when used on another tool.
5. Service
(1) Tool service must be performed only by qualified repair personnel. Service or maintenance performed
by unqualified personnel could result in a risk of injury.
(2) When servicing a tool, use only identical replacement parts. Follow instructions in the Maintenance
section of this manual. Use of unauthorized parts or failure to follow Maintenance Instruction may
create a risk of electric shock or injury.
WARNING:
Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other construction activities contains
chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. Some
examples of these chemicals are:
Lead from lead-based paints,
Crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry products, and
Arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated lumber.
Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how often you do this type of work. To reduce your
exposure to these chemicals: work in a well ventilated area, and work with approved safety equipment, such
as those dust masks that are specially designed to filter out microscopic particles.
