IMPORTANT SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS

SPECIFIC SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

1. Keep your work area clean and well lit. Cluttered benches and dark areas invite

accidents.

2. 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.

3. Keep bystanders, children, and visitors away while operating a power tool.

Distractions can cause you to lose control. Protect others in the work area from debris

such as chips and sparks. Provide barriers or shields as needed.

4. Do not force the 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.

5. Do not use the power tool if the Power Switch does not turn it on or off. Any tool that

cannot be controlled with the Power Switch is dangerous and must be replaced.

6. Store idle tools out of reach of children and other untrained persons. Tools are

dangerous in the hands of untrained users.

7. Maintain tools with care. Keep clean. Do not use a damaged tool. Tag damaged tools

“ Do not use” until repaired.

8. Tool service must be performed only by qualified repair personnel. Service or

maintenance performed by unqualified personnel could result in a risk of injury.

9. Maintain labels and nameplates on this tool. These carry important information. If

unreadable or missing, contact us for a replacement.

10. Always wear ANSI approved safety impact eye goggles and heavy work gloves when

using this tool. Using personal safety devices reduce the risk for injury. Safety impact

eye goggles and heavy work gloves are available from us.

11. Maintain a safe working environment. Keep the work area well lit. Make sure there is

adequate surrounding workspace. Always keep the work area free of obstructions,

grease, oil, trash, and other debris. Do not use this tool in areas near flammable

chemicals, dusts, and vapors. Do not use this product in a damp or wet location.

12. People with pacemakers should consult their physicians before using this product.

Electromagnetic fields in close proximity to a heart pacemaker could cause

interference to or failure of the pacemaker.

13. Caution is necessary when near the coil, spark plug cables, or distributor of a running

engine. The engine should always be off if adjustments are to be made of the

distributor.

14. When connecting the Battery Cables to the battery, avoid creating sparks — always

connect and disconnect clamps exactly as described in rule number 15 below,

especially when the battery is being charged. Explosive gases are created during

charging. Sparking could also damage the vehicle’s electrical system.

15. Be certain of the test battery polarity before connecting the test Cable Clamps. The

red Cable Clamp (A) goes to the positive terminal of the battery. The black Cable
