General Power Tool Safety Warnings

WARNING! Read all safety warnings and all instructions.
Failure to follow the warnings and instructions may result in
electric shock, fi re and/or serious injury.

SAVE ALL WARNINGS AND INSTRUCTIONS

FOR FUTURE REFERENCE

The term “power tool” in the warnings refers to your mains-operated
(corded) power tool or battery-operated (cordless) power tool.

1) WORK AREA SAFETY

a) Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas

invite accidents.

b) Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres,

such as in the presence of fl ammable liquids, gases or
dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or

fumes.

c) Keep children and bystanders away while operating a

power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.

2) ELECTRICAL SAFETY

a) Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify

the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs with
earthed (grounded) power tools. Unmodifi ed plugs and

matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.

b) Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces

such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There
is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is earthed or
grounded.

c) Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water

entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.

d) Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying,

pulling or unplugging the power tool. Keep cord away
from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged or

entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock.

e) When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension

cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable for
outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.

f) If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable,

use a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) protected
supply. Use of a GFCI reduces the risk of electric shock.

English

b) Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it

on and off. Any power tool that cannot be controlled with the

switch is dangerous and must be repaired.

c) Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or the

battery pack from the power tool before making any
adjustments, changing accessories, or storing power
tools. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of

starting the power tool accidentally.

d) Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and do

not allow persons unfamiliar with the power tool or these
instructions to operate the power tool. Power tools are

dangerous in the hands of untrained users.

e) Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or binding

of moving parts, breakage of parts and any other condition
that may affect the power tool’s operation. If damaged,
have the power tool repaired before use. Many accidents

are caused by poorly maintained power tools.

f) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained

cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind
and are easier to control.

g) Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits, etc. in

accordance with these instructions, taking into account
the working conditions and the work to be performed. Use

of the power tool for operations different from those intended
could result in a hazardous situation.

5) BATTERY TOOL USE AND CARE

a) Recharge only with the charger specifi ed by the

manufacturer. A charger that is suitable for one type of battery

pack may create a risk of fi re when used with another battery
pack.

b) Use power tools only with specifi cally designated battery

packs. Use of any other battery packs may create a risk of
injury and fi re.

3) PERSONAL SAFETY

a) Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common

sense when operating a power tool. Do not use a power
tool while you are tired or under the infl uence of drugs,
alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention while

operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.

b) Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye

protection. Protective equipment such as dust mask, non­skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for
appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.

c) Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in

the off position before connecting to power source and/
or battery pack, picking up or carrying the tool. Carrying

power tools with your fi nger on the switch or energizing power
tools that have the switch on invites accidents.

d) Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the

power tool on. A wrench or a key left attached to a rotating
part of the power tool may result in personal injury.

e) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at

all times. This enables better control of the power tool in
unexpected situations.

f) Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry.

Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from moving
parts. Loose clothes, jewelry or long hair can be caught in

moving parts.

g) If devices are provided for the connection of dust

extraction and collection facilities, ensure these are
connected and properly used. Use of dust collection can

reduce dust-related hazards.

4) POWER TOOL USE AND CARE

a) Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool

for your application. The correct power tool will do the job

better and safer at the rate for which it was designed.

this tool without holding it with both hands. Operating this
tool with one hand will result in loss of control. Breaking through or
encountering hard materials such as re-bar may be hazardous as
well.

• Accessories and tool may get hot during operation. Wear

gloves when handling them if performing heat producing applications
such as hammerdrilling and drilling metals.

• Do not operate this tool for long periods of time. Vibration

caused by hammer action may be harmful to your hands and arms.
Use gloves to provide extra cushion and limit exposure by taking
frequent rest periods.

• Air vents often cover moving parts and should be avoided.

Loose clothes, jewelry or long hair can be caught in moving parts.

WARNING: ALWAYS use safety glasses. Everyday eyeglasses are

NOT safety glasses. Also use face or dust mask if cutting operation is
dusty. ALWAYS WEAR CERTIFIED SAFETY EQUIPMENT:

• ANSI Z87.1 eye protection (CAN/CSA Z94.3),

• ANSI S12.6 (S3.19) hearing protection,

• NIOSH/OSHA/MSHA respiratory protection.

WARNING: Some dust created by power sanding, sawing,

grinding, drilling, and other construction activities contains chemicals
known to the State of California 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 fi lter out
microscopic particles.

c) 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 burns or a fi re.

d) Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from

the battery; avoid contact. If contact accidentally occurs,
fl ush with water. If liquid contacts eyes, additionally seek
medical help. Liquid ejected from the battery may cause

irritation or burns.

6) SERVICE

a) Have your power tool serviced by a qualifi ed repair person

using only identical replacement parts. This will ensure that

the safety of the power tool is maintained.

Drill/Driver/Hammerdrill Safety Warnings

• Wear ear protectors when impact drilling. Exposure to noise

can cause hearing loss.

• Use auxiliary handle(s), if supplied with the tool. Loss of

control can cause personal injury.

• Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces, when

performing an operation where the cutting accessory may
contact hidden wiring. Cutting accessory contacting a “live” wire

may make exposed metal parts of the power tool “live” and could
give the operator an electric shock.

• 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.

• Wear safety goggles or other eye protection. Hammering and
drilling operations cause chips to fl y. Flying particles can cause
permanent eye damage.

• Always use the side handle supplied with the tool. Keep a

fi rm grip on the tool at all times. Do not attempt to operate

Important Safety Instructions for All
Battery Chargers

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS: This manual contains important
safety and operating instructions for battery chargers.

NOTE: Do not store the battery packs in a tool with the

trigger switch locked on. Never tape the trigger switch in the
ON position.

WARNING: Fire hazard. Never attempt to open the battery pack

for any reason. If the battery pack case is cracked or damaged, do
not insert into the charger. Do not crush, drop or damage the battery
pack. Do not use a battery pack or charger that has received a sharp
blow, been dropped, run over or damaged in any way (e.g., pierced
with a nail, hit with a hammer, stepped on). Damaged battery packs
should be returned to the service center for recycling.

WARNING: Fire hazard. Do not store or carry the battery pack

so that metal objects can contact exposed battery terminals.

For example, do not place the battery pack in aprons, pockets, tool
boxes, product kit boxes, drawers, etc., with loose nails, screws,
keys, etc. Transporting batteries can possibly cause fi res if the

battery terminals inadvertently come in contact with conductive
materials such as keys, coins, hand tools and the like. The US

Department of Transportation Hazardous Material Regulations (HMR)
actually prohibit transporting batteries in commerce or on airplanes
(e.g., packed in suitcases and carry-on luggage) UNLESS they are
properly protected from short circuits. So when transporting individual
battery packs, make sure that the battery terminals are protected and
well insulated from materials that could contact them and cause a
short circuit.

SPECIFIC SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR LITHIUM ION (Li-Ion)

• Do not incinerate the battery pack even if it is severely
damaged or is completely worn out. The battery pack can

explode in a fi re. Toxic fumes and materials are created when
lithium ion battery packs are burned.

• If battery contents come into contact with the skin,
immediately wash area with mild soap and water. If battery
liquid gets into the eye, rinse water over the open eye for 15 minutes
or until irritation ceases. If medical attention is needed, the battery
