Work Area
• Keep your work area clean and well lit. Cluttered
benches and dark areas inviteaccidents.
• Do not operate power tools in explosive atmo-
spheres, such as in the presence of flammable
liquids, gases, or dust. Power tools create sparks
whichmay ignitethe dust or fumes.
• Keep bystanders, children, and visitors away while
operating a power tool. Distractions can causeyou
to lose control.
Electrical Safety
• 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 suitablefor one type of batterymay create a
risk of fire when used with another battery. Use battery
only with charger listed.
MODEL BA'n'ERYPACK CHARGER
973.225410 130139013 1421416
Use battery operated tool only with specifically
designated battery pack. Useof any other batteries
may create a riskof fire. Use onlywith battery pack
listed.
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.
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. Properfootingand balance enables
better control of the tool in unexpectedsituations.Do
not use on a ladderor unstablesupport.
• Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection.
Dust mask, nonskidsafety shoes, hard hat, or hearing
protection mustbe 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 yourbody 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 danger-
ous and must be repaired.
• Disconnect battery pack from tool or placethe switch in
the locked or off position before making any edjusti'nents,
changing accessories, or storing the tool. Such preven_ve
safety measures reduce risk of starting the tool accidentally.
• Store idle tools out of reach of children and other
untrained persons. Tools are dangerous inthe 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 injurywhen 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 strongsolvents to clean your 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 replacement
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 Cordless Tool Rules
• WARNING: Never use a battery that has been
dropped or received a sharp blow. A damaged
battery is subject to explosion. Properly dispose of a •
dropped battery immediately. Failure to heed this
warning can result in 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 haz-
ards 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
nearfire or heat. This will reduce the risk of explo-
sion and possible injury.
Batteries vent hydrogen gas and 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 immedi-
ately.
Do not charge battery tool in a damp or wet loca-
tion. 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 1O0°E 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.
