injury.

SAVE 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

■ Do not abuse the cord. Never

use the cord to carry the
charger. Keep cord away from
heat, oil, sharp edges, or
moving parts. Replace damaged
cords immediately.

cords may create a fire.

Damaged

■ 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 listed battery only with
charger listed.

■ Use battery operated tool only

with specifically designated
battery pack. Use of any other
batteries may create a risk of
fire. Use only with battery pack.

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.

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.

Tool Use and Care

■ 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.

■ 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.

■ 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.

■ Disconnect battery pack from

tool or place the switch in the
locked or off position before
making any adjustments,
changing accessories, or
storing the tool. Such preventive

safety measures reduce 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.

■ 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.

■ 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.

■ 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 create a risk of
injury when used on another tool.

Service

■ Tool service must be performed

only by qualified repair
personnel. Service or

maintenance performed by
unqualified personnel could result
in a 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 shock or injury.

SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES AND SYMBOLS

Additional Rules For Safe
Operation

■ Know your power tool. Read

operator’s manual carefully.
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.

■ Make sure your extension cord

is in good condition. When
using an extension cord, be
sure to use one heavy enough
to carry the current your
product will draw. A wire gage
size (A.W.G.) of at least 16 is
recommended for an extension
cord 100 feet or less in length. A
cord exceeding 100 feet is not
recommended. If in doubt, use
the next heavier gage. The
smaller the gage number, the
heavier the cord. An undersized

cord will cause a drop in line
voltage resulting in loss of power
and overheating.
