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 ignitethe 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.

(982390-001) (981399-001)

• Use battery operated tool only with specifically

designated battery pack. Use of any other battedes

may create a riskof 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 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. 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 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 end 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 lossof 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 before maldng any

adjustments, 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 pads, 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 pads. 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.

AddlUonal 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 t()ol 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.

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.
