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 too(s 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 su(table for one type of battery may create a
risk of fire when used with another battery. Use bat-
tery only w(th charger listed.

• Use battery operated tool only with specifically
designated battery pack. Use of any other batteries
may create a risk of fire. Use on(y w(th 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 com-
mon 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
wh((e operating power tools may result in serious per-
sonal injury.
• Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or
jewelry. Contain long hair. Keep your hair, clothing,
and gloves away from moving parts. Loose c(othes,
jewelry, or long hair can be caught in mov(ng parts.
• Avoid accidental starting. Be sure switch is in
the locked or off position before inserting battery
pack. Carrying tools w(th your finger on the switch or
inserting the battery pack (nto a tool with the switch
on, inv(tes acc(dents.
• Remove adjusting keys or wrenches before turning
the tool on. A wrench or a key that }s left attached to
a rotating part of the too( may result in persona( injury.
Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and bal-
ance at all times. Proper footing and balance enables
better centre} of the tool (n unexpected situations. Do
not use on a ladder or unstable support.
• Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection.
Dust mask, non-sk)d safety shoes, hard hat, or hear(ng
protect)on 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
(nto a(rvents.
• Do not use on a ladder or unstable support. Stab(e
footing on a so((d surface enables better control of the
tool in unexpected situat(ons.
TOOLUSEAND CARE
• Use clamps or other practical way to secure and sup-
port the workpieoe to a stable platform. Hold(ng 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 appli-
cation. The correct too( wil( 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 control(ed with the switch is dan-
gerous and must be repaired.Tool Use and Care
• Disconnect battery pack from tool or place the switch
in the locked or off position before making any ad-
justments, changing accessories, or storing the tool.
Such preventive safety measures reduce risk of starting
the tool accidenta(ly.
• 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 mainta(ned tools, with sharp cutting
edges are less ((ke(y 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 too}s.
• Use only accessories that are recommended by the
manufacturer for your model. Accessories that may
be su(table for one tee(, 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 clean(ng.
Never use brake fluids, gaso((ne, petro(eum-based prod-
ucts, or any strong solvents to clean your tool

SERVICE
• Tool service must be performed only by qualified
repair personnel, Service or maintenance performed
by unqualified personnel 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 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
also 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.
• Always wear safety glasses with side shields. Ev-
eryday glasses have only impact resistant lenses. They
are NOT safety glasses. Following this rule will reduce
the risk of eye injury.
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
possibly 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 100°F. Do not store
outside or in vehicles.
• Under extreme usage or temperature condi-
tions, 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.

_I_WARNING: Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other construction activities con-
tains chemicals known to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. Some examples of these chem-
icals are:
•(ead from lead-based paints,
• crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry products, and
• arsenic and chromium from chemicalIy4reated lumber.
Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how often you do this type of work. To reduce your exposure
to these chemicals: work in a well ventilated area, and work with approved safety equipment, such as those dust
