GENERAL SAFETY RULES
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
■ Keep your work area clean and well lit. Cluttered
benches and dark areas invite accidents.
■ Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable
liquids, gases, or dust. Power tools may create
sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
■ Keep bystanders, children, and visitors away
while operating a power tool. Distractions can
cause you to lose control.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
■ 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.
■ Use battery operated tool only with specifically
designated battery pack. Use of any other
batteries may create a risk of fire. Use only with
battery pack listed.
■ Avoid body contact with grounded surfaces,
such as pipes, radiators, ranges, and
refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric
shock if your body is grounded.
■ Use battery only with charger listed.

PERSONAL SAFETY
■ 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.
■ 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.
■ Avoid accidental starting. Be sure switch is off
before inserting the battery pack. Carrying tools
with your finger on the switch or inserting the battery
pack into a tool that has the switch on, invites
accidents.
■ 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.
■ Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and
balance at all times. Proper footing and balance
enables better control of the tool in unexpected
situations.
■ Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection. Dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or
hearing protection must be used for appropriate
conditions.
■ Do not use on a ladder or unstable support.
TOOL USE AND CARE
■ Use clamps or other practical way to secure and
support the workpiece to a stable platform. Hold-
ing the work by hand or against your body is unstable
and may lead to loss of control.
■ 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.
■ 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.
■ 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
risk of starting the tool accidentally.
■ Store idle tools out of reach of children and other
untrained persons. Tools are dangerous in the hands
of untrained users.
■ 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.
■ Maintain tools with care. Keep cutting tools sharp
and clean. Properly maintained tools with sharp cut-
ting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
■ 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.

GENERAL SAFETY RULES
■ 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.
■ Keep the tool and its handle dry, clean, and free
from oil and grease. Always use a clean cloth when
cleaning. Never use brake fluids, gasoline, petroleumbased products, or any strong solvents to clean your
tool.
SERVICE
■ Tool service must be performed only by qualified
repair personnel. Service or maintenance per-
formed by unqualified personnel could result in a risk
of injury.
■ 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
■ Hold tool by insulated gripping surfaces when performing an operation where the tool may contact hidden
wiring. Contact with a “live” wire will make exposed metal parts of the tool “live” and shock the operator.
ADDITIONAL SAFETY RULES
■ Know your power tool. Read operator’s manual
carefully. Learn its applications and limitations,
as well as the specific potential hazards related
to this tool. Following this rule will reduce the risk of
electric shock, fire, or serious injury.
■ Always wear safety goggles or safety glasses
with side shields when operating this product.
Failure to do so could result in dust, shavings, or
loose particles being thrown into your eyes, resulting
in possible serious injury.
■ Protect your lungs. Wear a face mask or dust
mask if the operation is dusty.
■ Protect your hearing. Wear hearing protection
during extended periods of operation.
■ Do not charge cordless tool in a damp or wet
location. Following this rule will reduce the risk of
electric shock.
■ For best results, your cordless tool should be charged
in a location where the temperature is more than
50°F but less than 100°F. Do not store outside or in
vehicles.
■ Under extreme usage or temperature conditions,
battery leakage may occur. If liquid comes in contact with your skin, wash immediately with soap
and water, then neutralize with lemon juice or
vinegar. If liquid gets into your eyes, flush them
with clean water for at least 10 minutes, then seek
immediate medical attention. Following this rule will
reduce the risk of serious personal injury.
ADDITIONAL CORDLESS TOOL RULES
■ Cordless tools do not have to be plugged into an
electrical outlet; therefore, they are always in operating condition. Be aware of possible hazards when
not using your cordless tool or when changing
accessories. Following this rule will reduce the risk of
electric shock, fire, or serious personal injury.
■ Do not place cordless tools or their batteries near
fire or heat. This will reduce the risk of explosion and
possibly injury.
■ A damaged battery is subject to explosion. To avoid
serious personal injury, properly dispose of a damaged
battery.
■ Batteries vent hydrogen gas and can explode in
the presence of a source of ignition, such as a pilot
light. To reduce the risk of serious personal injury,
never use any cordless product in the presence of open
flame. An exploded battery can propel debris and
chemical. If exposed, flush with water immediately.
