WORK AREA
1. Keep your work area clean and well lit. Cluttered benches and dark
areas invite accidents.
2. 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.
3. Keep bystanders, children, and visitors away while operating a
power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
1. The 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.
2. Use battery operated tool only with specifically designated battery
pack. Use of any other batteries may create a risk of fire.
PERSONAL SAFETY
1. 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.
2. 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.
3. Avoid accidental starting. Be sure switch is in the off position
before inserting battery pack. Carrying tools with your finger on the switch
or inserting the battery pack into a tool with the trigger on invites accidents.
4. Remove adjusting keys or wrenches before turning the tool on. A
wrench or a key that is left attached to the tool may result in personal injury.
5. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times.
Proper footing and balance enable better control of the tool in unexpected
situations.
6. Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection. Dust mask, non-
skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection must be used for
appropriate conditions.
TOOL USE AND CARE
1. Use clamps or other practical way to secure and support the
workpiece to a stable platform. Holding the work by hand or against your
body is unstable and may lead to loss of control.
2. Do not force tool. Use the correct tool for your application. The
correct tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it is
designed.
3. Do not use tool if switch does not turn it on or off. A tool that cannot
be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
4. Disconnect battery pack from tool and place the switch in the OFF
position before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or
storing the tool. 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.
