GENERAL SAFETY RULES
Safety is a combination of common sense, staying alert and knowing how your item works.
SAVE THESE SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS.
WARNING: Read and understand all warnings, cautions and operating instructions before using this tool. Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in personal injury and tool damage. To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury, follow the below precautions.
WORK AREA SAFETY
1. Remove the battery when the power tool is not in use and before servicing. Turn off all controls on the tool before removing the battery.
2. Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
3. Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control. Do not allow this tool to be used as a toy.
4. Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc. in accordance with these instructions, taking into account the working conditions and the work to be performed. Use of the power tool for operations different from those intended could result in a hazardous situation.
5. Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any other condition that may affect the power tool’s operation. If damaged, have the power tool re­paired before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained power tools.
6. Do not put any objects into the tool’s openings. Do not use the tool with any opening blocked; keep openings free of dust, lint, hair, or any other object that may reduce air flow.
7. Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Keep your hair, clothing, and fingers away from openings and moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
8. Be aware of your environment. It is not recommended to use this tool on stairs, slippery inclines, wet surfaces, etc.
9. 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.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
1. Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools. Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.
2. Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrig­erators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is earthed or grounded.
3. If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) protected supply. Use of a GFCI reduces the risk of electric shock.

GENERAL SAFETY RULES
PERSONAL SAFETY
1. Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a power tool. Do not use a power tool while you are 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. Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection. Protective equipment such as a dust mask, non-skid safety shoes and hearing protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce
the risk of personal injury.
3. Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the off-position before connecting to power source and/or battery pack, picking up or carrying the tool. Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or energizing power tools that have the switch on invites accidents.
4. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations.
POWER TOOL USE AND CARE
1. Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for your application. The correct power tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was designed.
2. Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it on and off. Any power tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
3. Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or the battery pack from the power tool before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing power tools. Such preventive safety mea­sures reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.
4. Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and do not allow persons unfamiliar with the power tool or these instructions to operate the power tool. Power tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
BATTERY USE AND CARE
1. Recharge only with the charger specified by the manufacturer. A charger that is suitable for one type of battery pack may create a risk of fire when used with another battery pack.
2. Use power tools only with specifically designated battery packs. Use of any other battery packs may create a risk of injury and fire.
3. 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 burns or a fire.
4. Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from the battery; avoid contact. If contact acci­dentally occurs, flush with water. If liquid contacts eyes, additionally seek medical help. Liquid eject­ed from the battery may cause irritation or burns.
SERVICE
Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair person using only identical replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.
