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

atmospheres, 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 [] 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 operated tool only with specifically

designated battery pack. Use of any other batteries may create a risk of fire.

[] Use battery only with charger listed.

[] Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord to carry

the tool. 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

inattention 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 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 aH 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 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.

[] 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.

serious personal injury.

[] Before using battery charger, read all instructions

and cautionary markings in this manual, on battery charger, battery, and product using battery to prevent

misuse of the products and possible injury or damage.

_k CAUTNON" To reduce the risk of electric shock

or damage to the charger and battery, charge only nickel-cadmium rechargeable batteries as specifically designated on your charger. Other

types of batteries may burst, causing personal

injury or damage.

[] Do not use charger outdoors or expose to wet or

damp conditions. Water entering charger will increase the risk of electric shock.

[] 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.

[] Do not abuse cord or charger. Never use the cord to

carry the charger. Do not pull the charger cord rather than the plug when disconnecting from receptacle.

Damage to the cord or charger could occur and create an electric shock hazard. Replace damaged cords

immediately.

[] Make sure cord is located so that it will not

be stepped on, tripped over, come in contact with sharp edges or moving parts or otherwise

subjected to damage or stress. This will reduce the

risk of accidental falls, which could cause injury, and damage to the cord, which could result in electric

shock.

[] Keep cord and charger from heat to prevent

damage to housing or internal parts.

[] Do not let gasoline, oils, petroleum-based products,

etc. come in contact with plastic parts. They contain chemicals that can damage, weaken, or destroy

plastic.

[] 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'
