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 atmo- spheres, such as in the presence of flammable

liquids, gases, or dust. Power tools may 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 only with charger listed.

MODEL BATTERY PACK CHARGER

315.114270 Item No. 9 11375 Item No. 9 11041 1323517 or 1323903 1425301

• Use battery operated tool only with specified designated battery pack. Use of any other batteries

may create a risk of fire. Use only with battery pack listed.

• 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. Damaged cords may create a 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 inatten-

tion 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 turn- ing the tool on. A wrench or a key that is left attached to a rotating part of the toot may result in personal injury.

• Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and bal- ance at all times. Proper footing and balance enables better control of the tool in unexpected situations. Do not use on a ladder or unstable support.

• Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection.

Dust mask, nonskid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing

protection must be used for appropriate conditions.

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 and 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 the risk of starting the tool accidentally.

• Store idle tools out of the 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 toot, may create a risk of injury

when used on another tool.

• Keep the tool and its handle dry, clean and free from oil and grease. Always use a clean cloth when cleaning. Never use brake fluids, gasoline, petroleum- based products, or any strong solvents to clean your

tool.

SERVICE

• Tool service must be performed by a qualified repair personnel. Service or maintenance performed

by unqualified personnel could result in a risk of injury.

Hold tool by insulated gripping surfaces when performing an operation where the cutting tool may contact

hidden wiring. Contact with a "live" wire will make exposed metal parts of the tool "live" and shock the operator.

• When servicing a tool, use only identical replace-

ment 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.

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 condi-

tion. When using an extension cord, be sure to use • one heavy enough to carry the current your prod- uct 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.

IMPORTANT RULES FOR BATTERY TOOLS

• Battery tools do not have to be plugged into an

electrical outlet; therefore, they are always in operating condition. Be aware of possible hazards when not using your battery tool or when chang- ing accessories. Following this rule will reduce the

risk of electric shock, fire, or serious personal injury.

• Do not place battery tools or their batteries near fire or heat. This will reduce the risk of explosion and possible injury.

WARNING: Batteries vent hydrogen gas and can explode in the presence of a souce of ignition,

such as a pilot light. To reduce the risk of serious personal injury, never use any cordless product in

the presence of open flame. An exploded battery can propel debris and chemicals. If exposed, flush
