GENERAL SAFETY RULES-FOR ALL BATTERY OPERATED TOOLS

READ AND UNDERSTAND ALL INSTRUCTIONS.
Failure to follow all instructions listed below, may result in
electric shock, fire and/or serious personal injury.

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 ex-
plosive atmospheres, such as in
the presence of flammable liq-
uids, 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. Protect others in
the work area from debris such as
chips and sparks. Provide barriers or
shields as needed.

ELECTRICAL SAFETY

4. 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
Damaged cords may create a fire.
5. A battery operated tool with inte-
gral 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.
6. Use battery operated tool only
with specifically designated bat-
tery pack. Use of any other batteries
may create a risk of fire.
WARNING!
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
immediately.

PERSONAL SAFETY

7. Stay alert, watch what you are do-
ing, and use common sense when
operating a power tool. Do not use
tool while tired or under the in-
fluence of drugs, alcohol, or medi-
cation. A moment of inattention while
operating power tools may result in
serious personal injury.
8. 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.
9. Avoid accidental starting. Be sure
switch is in the locked or off po-
sition 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.
10. Remove
wrenches before turning the tool
on. A wrench or a key that is left at-
tached to a rotating part of the tool
may result in personal injury.
11. Do not overreach. Keep proper
footing and balance at all times.
Proper footing and balance enable bet-
ter control of the tool in unexpected
situations.
12. Use safety equipment. Always
wear eye protection. Dust mask,
nonskid safety shoes, hard hat, or
hearing protection must be used for
appropriate conditions.
