WARNING: Read and understand all instructions.

Failure to follow all instructions listed below, may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious 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

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.

MODEL BATTERY PACK CHARGER

315.271220 Item No. 9-11031 Item No. 2-11040

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 pads. 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 ofthe tool may result in personal

injury.

• Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and bal- ance 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.

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 condi- tion. 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 recommended. 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 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. They may explode. Following this rule

will reduce the risk of electric shock, fire, or serious

personal injury.

Do not charge battery tool in a damp or wet location. Following this rule will reduce the risk of

electric shock, fire, or serious personal injury.

Your battery tool should be charged in a location where the temperature is more than 50°F but less

than IO0°F. Following this rule will reduce the risk of

electric shock, fire, or serious personal injury.

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.
