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 enables

better control of the tool in unexpected situations. Do not use on a ladder or unstable support.

• Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection. Dust mask, nonskidsafety 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 storingthe tool. Such

pmventh/esafetymeasuresreduce risk of startingff_etool Service 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 likelyto bind and are easier to

control.

• Check for misalignment or binding of moving pads,

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 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 condition.

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 recom- mended. If in doubt, use the next heavier gage. The

smaller the gage number, the heavier the cord. An undersized cordwill cause a drop in line voltage result-

ing in lossof 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. This will reduce the risk of explosion and
