I. GENERAL SAFETY

RULES FOR ALL
BATTERY OPERATED
TOOLS

WARNING!

READ AND UNDERSTAND ALL INSTRUCTIONS.

• Failure to follow all instructions listed
below, may result in electric shock, fire
and/or serious personal injury.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

Work Area

1) Keep your work area clean and well

lit.

Cluttered benches and dark areas invite
accidents.

2) Do not operate power tools in explo-

sive 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 visi-

tors away while operating a power
tool.

Distractions can cause you to lose con­trol. Make sure that no one is beneath,
or on the other side of the area when
you are working.

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.

5) Use battery operated tool only with

specifically designated battery pack.

Use of any other batteries may create a
risk of fire.

Personal Safety

6) Stay alert, watch what you are doing,

and use common sense when operat-

ing a power tool. Do not use tool
while tired or under the influence of
drugs, alcohol, or medication.

A moment of inattention while operating
power tools may result in serious per­sonal injury.

7) 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.

8) 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.

9) Remove adjusting keys or wrenches

before turning the tool on.

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

10)Do not overreach. Keep proper foot-

ing and balance at all times.

Proper footing and balance enable bet­ter control of the tool in unexpected situ­ations.

11) Use safety equipment. Always wear

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
your body is unstable and may lead to
loss of control.

13)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.

14)Do not use tool if switch does not

turn it on or off.

A tool that cannot be controlled with th e
switch is dangerous and must be
repaired.

15)Disconnect batter y pack from tool or

place the switch in the locked or off
position before making any adjust­ments, changing accessories, or
storing the tool.

Such preventive safety measures
reduce the risk of starting the tool acci­dentally.

16)Store idle tools out of reach of chil-

dren and other untrained persons.

Tools are dangerous in the hands of
untrained users.

17)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.

18)Maintain tools with care. Keep cutting

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.

20)Use only accessor ies that are recom-

mended by the manufacturer for your
model.

Accessories that may be suitable for
one tool may create a risk of injury when
used on another tool.

Service

21)Tool service must be performed only

by qualified repair personnel.

Service or maintenance performed by
unqualified personnel may result in a
risk of injury.

22)When servicing a tool, use only id en-

tical replacement parts. Follow
instructions in the Maintenance sec­tion of this manual.

Use of unauthorized parts or failure to
follow Maintenance Instructions may
create a risk of shock or injury.

II. SPECIFIC SAFETY

RULES

1) Hold tool by insulated gripping sur-

faces when performing an operation
where the cutting tool may contact
hidden wiring.

Contact with a “live” wire will also make
exposed metal parts of the tool “live”
and shock the operator.

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

• Arsenic and chromium from chemically­treated lumber.

To reduce your exposure to these chemi­cals:
work in a well ventilated area, and work
with approved safety equipment, such as
dust masks that are specially designed
to filter our microscopic particles.

7) An extension cord should not be used
unless absolutely necessary.
Use of improper extension cord could
result in a risk of fire and electric shock.
If extension cord must be used, make
sure:

a. that pins on plug of extension cord

are the same number, size and
shape as those of plug on charger.

b. that extension cord is properly wired

and in good electrical condition.

c. that wire size is large enough for

ampere rating of charger as specified
below.

reach or exceed 122°F (50°C) (such a
metal tool shed, or a car in the summer),
which can lead to deterioration of the
storage battery.

16)Do not charge battery pack when the
temperature is BELOW 32°F (0°C) or
ABOVE 104°F (40°C). This is very
important.

17)Do not incinerate the battery pack. It can
explode in a fire.
