SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
Work Area

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

• 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.

(130234026) (140250005)

• 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
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 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 tool 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.

3

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 adjust=
ments, 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 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.

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 wiltcause a drop in line voltage result-
ing 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 source of ignition, such
as a pilot light. To reduce the risk of serious personal

injury, never use any cordless product in the pres-
ence 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
location. 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 100°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. If 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.
