General Power Tool Safety Warnings

_ WARNING! Read all safety warnh_gs and all h_structions.

Failure to follow the warnings and instructions may result in
electric shock, fire 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 flammable 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. Unmodified 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.

If operating apowertool in a damp location is unavoidable,
use a ground fault circuff interrupter (GFCI) protected
supply. Use of a GFC/ reduces the risk of electric shock.

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 influence 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, non-
skid 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 finger 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.

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

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.
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 specified by the

manufacturer. A charger that is suitable for one type of
battery pack may create a risk of fire when used with another
battery pack.

b) Use power tools only with specifically designated battery

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

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 bums or a fire.

d) Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from

the battery; avoid contact. If contact accidentally occurs,
flush with water. If liquid contacts eyes, additionally seek

medical help. Liquid ejected from the battery may cause
irritation or bums.

6} SERVICE

a) Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair

person using only identical replacement parts. This will
ensure that the safety of the power too/is maintained.

Additional Safety Rules for Screwdriver

• Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces, when
performing an operation where the fastener may contact
hidden wiring. Fasteners 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 another practical way to secure and support

the workpiece to a stable platform. Holding the work by hand
or against your body leaves it unstable and may lead to loss of

control.

• 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 $12.6 ($3.19) hearing protection,

NIOSH/OSHA/MSHA respiratory protection.

_kWARNING: Some dust created by power sanding, sawing,
grinding, drilling, and other construction activities contains chemicals

known to the State of Califomia to cause canced 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 lumbe_

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.

Avoid prolonged contact with dust from power sanding,

sawing, grinding, drilling, and other construction activities.
Wear protective clothing and wash exposed areas with
soap and water. Allowing dust to get into your mouth, eyes, or
lay on the skin may promote absorption of harmful chemicals.

WARNING: Use of this too/can generate and/or disperse dust,

which may cause serious and permanent respiratory or other
injury. Always use NIOSH/OSHA approved respiratory protection
appropriate for the dust exposure. Direct particles away from face
and body.
A CAUTION: When not in use, place tool on its side on a stable

surface where it will not cause a tripping or falling hazard.
i_,WARNING: To reduce the risk of injury do not carry this tool in

your pocket.

charging. This is a normal condition, and does not indicate a

problem. To facilitate the cooling of the battery pack after use,
avoid placing the charger or battery pack in a warm environment

such as in a metal shed, or an uninsulated trailer.

3. If the battery pack does not charge properly:
a. Check operation of receptacle by plugging in a lamp or other

appliance;

b. Check to see if receptacle is connected to a light switch which

turns power off when you turn out the lights;

c. Move charger and battery pack to a location where the

surrounding air temperature is approximately 65 °F-75 °F
(18-24 °C);

d. If charging problems persist, take the tool, battery pack and

charger to your local service center.

4. The battery pack should be recharged when it fails to produce
sufficient power on jobs which were easily done previously. DO

NOT CONTINUE to use under these conditions. Follow the
charging procedure. You may also charge a partially used pack
whenever you desire with no adverse affect on the battery pack.

5. Foreign materials of a conductive nature such as, but not limited
to, grinding dust, metal chips, steel wool, aluminum foil, or any

buildup of metallic particles should be kept away from charger
cavities. Always unplug the charger from the power supply when
there is no battery pack in the cavity. Unplug charger before
attempting to clean.

6. Do not freeze or immerse charger in water or any other liquid.

WARNING: Shock hazard. Don't allow any liquid to get inside

charge_ Electric shock may result.
i_ CAUTION: Never attempt to open the battery pack for any reason.

If the plastic housing of the battery pack breaks or cracks, retum to a
service center for recycling.

Storage Recommendations

1. The best storage place is one that is cool and dry, away from
direct sunlight and excess heat or cold.
