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 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. Damaged cords may create a fire.
• 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.

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 inserious
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 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 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 itis designed.
• Do not use tool if switch does not turn it on or off. A
toolthat cannot be controlled with the switch isdanger-
ous and must be repaired.
• Disconnect battery pack from tool or place the switch in
the locked or off position before maldng any adjust-
ments, changing accessories, or stodng the tool. Such
preventive safety measures reduce riskof 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. Ifdamaged, have the tool
serviced before using. Many accidentsare caused by
poorlymaintained 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 injurywhen
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 replace-
ment parts. Follow instructions in the Maintenance
section of this manual. Use of unauthorized parts or
failure to follow Maintenance Instructionsmay create a
risk of shock or 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.
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 recom-
mended. 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 bossof 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 changing
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.
• Batteries vent hydrogen gas and can explode in the
presence of a source 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 with water immediately.
• Do not charge battery tool in a damp or wet loca-
tion. Following this rule will reduce the risk of electric
shock.
• For best results, your battery tool should be
charged in a location where the temperature is
more than 50°F but less than 1O0°F. Do not store
outside or in vehicles.
• Under extreme usage or temperature conditions,
battery leakage may occur. If liquid comes in
contact with your skin, wash immediately with
soap and water, then neutralize with lemon juice or
vinegar. It liquid gets into your eyes, flush them
with clean water for at least 10 minutes, then seek
immediate medical attention. Following this rule will
reduce the risk of serious personal injury.
• Never use a battery that has been dropped or received
a sharp blow. A damaged battery is subject to explo-
sion. Properly dispose of a dropped battery immedi-
ately. Failure to heed this warning can result in serious
personal injury.
• Before using battery charger, read all instructions
and cautionary markings in this manual, on battery
charger, and product using battery charger. Follow-
ing this rule will reduce the risk of electric shock, fire,
or serious personal injury.
• To reduce risk of injury, charge only nickel-cad-
mium and nickel metal hydride type rechargeable
batteries. Other types of batteries may burst
causing personal injury and damage. Following this
rule will reduce the risk of electric shock, fire, or
serious personal injury.
• Do not expose charger to rain or snow. Following
this rule will reduce the risk of electric shock, fire, or
serious personal injury.
• Use of an attachment not recommended or sold
by the battery charger manufacturer may result in
a risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons.
Following this rule will reduce the risk of electric
shock, fire, or serious personal injury.
• To reduce risk of damage to charger body and
cord, pull by charger plug rather than cord when
disconnecting charger. Following this rule will
reduce the risk of electric shock, fire, or serious
personal injury.
• Make sure cord is located so that it will not be
stepped on, tripped over, or otherwise subjected
to damage or stress. Following this rule will reduce
the risk of serious personal injury.
• An extension cord should not be used unless
absolutely necessary. Use of improper extension
cord could result in a risk of fire and electric shock. If
extension cord must be used, make sure:
a. That pins on plug of extension cord are the
same number, size and shape as those of
plug on charger.
b. That extension cord is properly wired and in
good electrical condition; and
c. That wire size is large enough for AC ampere
rating of charger as specified below:
Cord Length (Feet) 25' 50' 100'
Cord Size (AWe) 16 16 16
Note: Awe = American Wire Gage
Do not operate charger with a damaged cord or
plug. If damaged, have replaced immediately by a
qualified serviceman. Followingthis rulewillreduce the
risk of electric shock, fire, or serious personal injury.
