GENERAL SAFETY RULES
operation. If damaged, have the power tool repaired
before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly
maintained power tools.
■ Keep cutting toois sharp and clean. Properly main­
tained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less
likely to bind and are easier to control.
■ Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc.,
in accordance with these instructions and in the
manner intended for the particular type of power
tool, 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.
BATTERY TOOL USE AND CARE
■ Ensure the switch is in the off position before
inserting battery pack. Inserting the battery pack into
power tools that have the switch on invites accidents.
■ 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.
■ Use power toois only with specificaily designated
battery packs. Use of any other battery packs may
create a risk of injury and fire.
■ 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 terminai to another.
Shorting the battery terminals together may cause
burns or a fire.
■ Under abusive conditions, iiquid may be ejected
from the battery, avoid contact. If contact acci­
dentally occurs, flush with water. If liquid contacts
eyes, additionaiiy seek medical help. Liquid ejected
from the battery may cause irritation or burns.
SERVICE
■ Have your power tool serviced by a quaiified repair
person using only identical replacement parts. This
will ensure that the safety of the power tool is main­
tained.
A WARNING! To reduce the risk of injury, user must
read instruction manual.
■ When servicing a power tool, use only identical
replacement parts. Follow instructions in the Main­
tenance section of this manuai. Use of unauthorized
parts or failure to follow Maintenance instructions may
create a risk of shock or injury.
SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES
Hold power tools by insulated gripping surfaces
when performing an operation where the cutting
tool may contact hidden wiring or its own cord.
Contact with a “live” wire will also make exposed metal
parts of the tool “live” and shock the operator.
Know your power tooi. Read operator’s manual
carefully. Learn its applications and iimitations, as
well as the specific potential hazards related to this
power tooi. Following this rule will reduce the risk of
electric shock, fire, or serious injury.
Aiways wear safety glasses with side shieids.
Everyday glasses have only impact resistant lenses.
They are NOT safety glasses. Following this rule will
reduce the risk of eye injury.
Protect your lungs. Wear a face or dust mask if the
operation is dusty. Following this rule will reduce the
risk of serious personal injury.
Protect your hearing. Wear hearing protection
during extended periods of operation. Following this
rule will reduce the risk of serious personal injury.
Battery tools do not have to be plugged into an
electrical outlet; therefore, they are always in
operating condition. Be aware of possibie hazards
when not using your battery tooi or when changing
accessories. Following this rule will reduce the risk of
electric shock, fire, or serious personal injury.
Do not piace battery toois or their batteries near
fire or heat. This will reduce the risk of explosion and
possibly injury.
Do not crush, drop or damage battery pack. Do
not use a battery pack or charger that has been
dropped or received a sharp biow. A damaged
battery is subject to explosion. Properly dispose of a
dropped or damaged battery immediately.
Batteries can expiode 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 chemicals. If exposed, flush with
water immediately.
Do not charge battery tool in a damp or wet
location. Following this rule will reduce the risk of
electric shock.
For best results, your battery tool should be
charged in a location where the temperature is
more than
50“F but less than 100°F. To reduce the
risk of serious personal injury, do not store outside or
in vehicles.
Under extreme usage or temperature conditions,
battery ieakage may occur. If liquid comes in
contact with your skin, wash immediateiy with
soap and water, then neutralize with iemon 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.
If the power supply cord is damaged, it must be
replaced only by the manufacturer or by an authorized
service center to avoid risk.
Save these instructions. Refer to them frequently and
use them to instruct others who may use this tool. If
you loan someone this tool, loan them these instruc­
tions also to prevent misuse of the product and pos­
sible injury.
