_L WARNING: Read and understand all instructions.

Failure to follow all instructionslisted 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 forone type of battery may create a
risk of fire when used with another battery. Use battery
only with charger listed.

(901401-001) (981399-001)

Use battery operated tool only with specifically

designated battery pack. Use of any other batteries

may create a risk offire. 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. Awrench 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 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 isdesigned.

• 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 before making any
adjustments, changing accessories, or storing the tool.

Such preventivesafety measures reduce riskofstarting the Service
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.
ShorEing 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
poorlymaintained 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.

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 Instructionsmay 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. It 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. Followingthis 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 100°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.

personal injury.

• Make sure cord is located so that it will not be

stepped on, tripped over, or otherwise subjected
to damage or stress. Following this rule will reduce
the risk of serious personal injury.

• An extension cord should not be used unless

absolutely necessary. Use of improper extension
cord coutd 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:

_L 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.
