This tool has many features for making its use more pleasant and enjoyable. Safety, performance, and dependability have been given top priority in the design of this product making it easy to maintain and operate.

WARNING: Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other construction activities

contains chemicals known to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. Some examples of these chemicals are:

• lead from lead-based paints,

• crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry products, and

• arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated 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

masks that are specially designed to filter out microscopic particles.

_t, WARNING!READANDUNDERSTAND ALL IN-

STRUCTIONS. Failure to follow all instructions listed

below, may result in electric shock, fire and/or seri- ous personal injury.

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 atmo-

spheres, such as in the presence of flammable liq- uids, 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.

ELECTRICALSAFETY [] 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 des-

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

[] Use battery only with charger listed.

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 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- ing 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 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 ap-

plication. 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 dan-

gerous 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 cut- ting 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 SERVICE

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.

[]

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

replacement 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 power 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.

[] Know your power tool. Read operator's manual

carefully. Learn its applications and limitations, as well as the specific potential hazards related to this power tool. Following this rule will reduce the risk of electric shock, fire, or serious injury.

[] Always wear safety glasses with side shields.

Everyday glasses have only impact resistant lenses.

They are NOT safety glasses. Following this rule will

reduce the risk of eye injury.

[] Protect your lungs. Wear a face or dust mask if the

operation is dusty. Following this rule will reduce the

risk of serious personal injury.

[] Protect your hearing. Wear hearing protection

during extended periods of operation. Following this

rule will reduce the risk of serious personal injury.

[] 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.

[] Do not crush, drop or damage battery pack. Do

not use a battery pack or charger that has been

dropped or received a sharp blow. A damaged

battery is subject to explosion. Properly dispose of a dropped or damaged battery immediately.

[] Batteries 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

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.

[] Save these instructions. Refer to them frequently

and use them to instruct others who may use this

tool. If you loan someone this tool, loan them these

instructions also to prevent misuse of the product and possible injury.
