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.
WARNING: SOME DUST CREATED BY POWER SANDING,
SAWING, GRINDING, DRILLING, AND OTHER CONSTRUCTION
ACTIVITIES contains chemicals known 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 filter out microscopic particles.
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 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.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
1. Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord to carry the tool. Keep
cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges, or moving parts. Replace
damaged cords immediately. Damaged cords may create a fire.
2. 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.
3. Use battery operated tool only with specifically designated battery
pack. Use of any other batteries may create a risk of fire.
PERSONAL SAFETY
1. Stay alert, watch what you are doing, and use common sense when
operating 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.
2. 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.

3. 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.
4. 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.
5. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times.
Proper footing and balance enable better control of the tool in unexpected
situations.
6. Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection. Dust mask, nonskid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection must be used for
appropriate conditions.
TOOL USE AND CARE
1. 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.
2. 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.
3. Do not use tool if switch does not turn it on or off. A tool that cannot
be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
4. Disconnect battery 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.
5. Store idle tools out of reach of children and other untrained persons.
Tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
6. 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.
7. 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.
8. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of
parts, and any other condition that may affect the tool’s operation. If
damaged, have the tool serviced before using. Many accidents are caused
by poorly maintained tools.
9. Use only accessories that are recommended 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
1. Tool service must be performed only by qualified repair personnel.
Service or maintenance performed by unqualified personnel may result in a
risk of injury.
2. When servicing a tool, use only identical 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.

SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES AND SYMBOLS
1. Hold tool by insulated gripping surfaces 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.
2. There are certain applications for which this tool was designed.
Porter-Cable strongly recommends that this tool NOT be modified and/or
used for any application other than for which it was designed. If you have any
questions relative to its application DO NOT use the tool until you have written
Porter-Cable and we have advised you.
