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 create sparks

which may ignke the dust or fumes.

[] Keep bystanders, children, and visitors away while

operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to

lose control.

ELECTRmCAL 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.

[] 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 insert=

ingthe battery pack into a too! 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.

[] Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Contain long

hair. Loose clothes, jewelry, or long hair can be drawn
into air vents.

[] Do not use on a ladder or unstable support. Stable

footing on a solid surface enables better control of the
tool in unexpected situations.

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 the

risk of starting the tool accidenta!iy.

[] Store idle tools out of reach of children and other

untrained persons. Tools are dangerous inthe 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. Propedy 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.

[] 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. Following this rule will reduce the risk of loss of
control and deterioration of the enclosure plastic.

SERVmCE

[] Tool service must be performed only by qualified

repair personnel. Service or maintenance performed
by unqualified personne! may result in a risk of injury.

[] 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 hstructions may create a

risk of shock or injury.

[] Homdtoom by insumatedgripping surfaces when

performing an operation where the cutting toommay

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

shock the operator.
