I_ WARNINGI

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, cement and other masonry products

• 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.

& WARNING ]

To avoid electrical hazards, fire hazards or damage to the battery charger, use proper
circuit protection.

The battery charger is wired at the factory for 110-120 V operation. It must be connected
to a 110-120 V, 15 A time delayed fuse or circuit breaker. To avoid shock or fire, replace
power cord immediately if it is worn, cut or damaged in any way.

GENERAL SAFETY RULES

[_L WARNING]

Read and understand all instructions.

Failure to follow all instructions listed below
may result in electric shock, fire and/or

serious personal injury.

WORK AREA

Keep your work area clean and well lit.
Cluttered benches and dark areas invite

accidents.

Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord
to carry the tools or pull the plug from an

outlet. Keep cord away from heat, oil,
sharp edges or moving parts. Replace

damaged cords immediately. Damaged
cords increase the risk of electric shock.

When operating a power tool outside, use
an outdoor extension cord marked "W-A"

or "W". These cords are rated for outdoor
use and reduce the risk of electric shock.

PERSONAL SAFETY

Do not operate power tools in explosive
atmospheres, such as in the presence of
flammable liquids, gasses or dust. Power
tools create sparks which may ignite the dust

or fumes.

Keep bystanders, children and visitors

away while operating the tool. Distractions
can cause you to lose control.

ELECTRICAL SAFETY

Double insulated tools are equipped with
a polarized plug (one blade is wider than

the other). This plug will fit in a polarized
plug only one way. If the plug does not fit

fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it
still does not fit, contact a qualified
electrician to install a polarized outlet. Do
not change the plug in any way. Double

insulation eliminates the need for the three
wire grounded power cord and grounded
power supply system.

Avoid body contact with grounded
surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges

and refrigerators. There is increased risk of
electric shock if your body is grounded.

Don't expose power tools to rain or wet
conditions. Water entering the power tool

will increase the risk of electric shock.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS FOR REFERENCE

Stay alert, watch what you are doing and
use common sense when operating a
power tool. Do not use the 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 clothing, jewelry or long hair
can be caught in moving parts.

Avoid accidental starting. Be sure switch
is OFF before plugging in. Carrying tools

with your finger on the switch or plugging in
tools that have the switch ON invites

accidents.

Remove adjusting keys or wrenches
before turning the tool ON. A wrench or 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 enables 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.

TOOLUSEANDCARE SERVICE
Useclampsorotherpracticalwayto

secureandsupportthe workpiece to a

stable platform. Holding the work by hand or
against your body is unstable and may lead

to loss of control.

Do not force the 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.

Do not use the tool if the switch does not
turn it ON or OFF. Any tool that cannot be

controlled with the switch is dangerous and
must be repaired.

Disconnect the plug from the power
source before making any adjustments,

changing accessories or storing the tool.
Such preventive safety measures reduce the

risk of starting the tool accidentally.

Store idle tools out of reach of children
and other untrained persons. Tools are

dangerous in the hands of untrained users.

Maintain tools with care. Keep cutting
tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained

cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less
likely to bind and are easier to control.

Check for misalignment or binding of
moving parts, breakage of parts and any

other condition that may affect the tool's
operation. If damaged, have the tool

serviced before using. Many accidents are
caused by poorly maintained tools.

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.

Tool service must be performed only by
qualified personnel. Service or

maintenance performed by unqualified
personnel could result in risk of injury.

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 instructions may create a risk of
electric shock or injury.
