THESE INSTRUCTIONS
Work Area
*Keep your work area clean and well
lit.
Cluttered benches and dark areas invite
accidents.
Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence
of flammable liquids, gases, or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite
the dust or fumes.
Keep bystanders, children, and visitors away while operating a power tool.
Distractions can cause you to lose control.
Electrical Safety
A battery operated tool with integral batteries or a separate battery pack must
be recharged only
with
the specified charger for the battery.
A
charger that
may be suitable for one type of battery may create a risk of fire when used with
another battery.
Use battery operated tool only with specifically designated battery pack. Use
of any other batteries may create a risk of fire.
Personal Safety
Stay alert, watch what you are doing, and use common sense when operating
a power tool. Do not use tool while tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol,
or medication.
A
moment of inattention while operating power tools may result
in serious personal injury.
Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Contain long hair. Keep
your hair, clothing, and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry,
or long hair can be caught
in
moving parts.
Avoid accidental starting. Be sure switch is in the locked
or
off position before
inserting battery pack. Carrying tools with your finger on the switch or inserting
the battery pack into a tool
with
the switch on invites accidents.
Remove adjusting keys
or
wrenches before turning the tool on.
A
wrench or
a key that is left attached to a rotating part of the
tool
may result in personal injury.
Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. Proper footing
and balance enable better control
of
the tool
in
unexpected situations.
Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection. Dust mask, non-skid safety
shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection must be used for appropriate conditions.
