RULES FOR ALL
BATTERY OPER-
ATED 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
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. 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 cre-
ate a risk of fire.
Personal Safety
6) 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.
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 wrench-
es 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
footing and balance at all times.
Proper footing and balance enable
better control of the tool in unex-
pected situations.
11) Use safety equipment. Always
wear eye protection.
Dust mark, non-skid safety shoes,
hard hat, or hearing protection
must be used for appropriate con-
ditions.
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.
