lit.
Cluttered benches and dark areas
invite accidents.
2) Do n o t oper ate p o wer tools in
explosive atmospheres, such as
in the presence of flammable liquids, gases, or dust.
Power tools create sparks which may

Electrical Safety
4) 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 suitable for one
type of battery may create a risk of fire
when used with another battery.

Carrying tools with your finger on the
switch or inserting the battery pack
into a tool with the switch on invites
accidents.

eye protection.
Dust mask, non-skid safety shoes,
hard hat, or hearing protection must
be used for appropriate conditions.
Tool use and care
12) Use clamps or other practical way
to secure and support the workpiece to a stable platform.
Holding the work by hand or against

tool for your application.
The correct tool will do the job better
and safer at the rate for which it is
designed.
14) Do not use tool if switch does not

objects that can make a connection
from one terminal to another.
Shorting the battery terminals togeth-
er may cause sparks, burns or a fire.
18) Maintain tools with care. Keep cut-
ting tools sharp and clean.
Properly maintained tools with sharp
cutting edge are less likely to bind
and are easier to control.
19)
Check for misalignment or binding of
moving parts, breakage of parts, and
any other condition that may affect
the tool’s operations. If damaged,
have the tool serviced before using.
Many accidents are caused by poorly
maintained tools.

mended by the manufacturer for
your model.
Accessories that may be suitable for
one tool may create a risk o f injury
when used on another tool.

Crystalline silica from bricks and
cement and other masonry products
Arsenic and chromium from chemi-
cally-treated lumber.
To reduce your exposure to these
chemicals: work in a well ventilated
