GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY WARNINGS
Use personal protective equipment.
Always wear eye protection.
Protective equipment such as dust
mask, non-skid safety shoes or boots,
sturdy gloves, durable long pants and
durable long sleeve shirt, [and hard hat,
or hearing protection used for
appropriate conditions] will reduce
personal injuries.
Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure
the trigger switches are in the off-
position before connecting the Power
Cell to the power tool, and never pick
up or carry the tool by the trigger
switches. Carrying power tools with
your finger on the switch or energizing
power tools that have the switch on
invites accidents.
Remove any adjustment key or
wrench before turning the power tool
on. A wrench or a key left attached to a
rotating part of the power tool may
result in personal injury.
Do not overreach. Keep proper
footing and balance at all times. This
enables better control of the power tool
in unexpected situations.
Dress properly. Do not wear loose
clothing or jewelry. Keep your hair,
clothing and gloves away from moving
parts. Loose clothing, jewelry or long
hair can be caught in moving parts.
General Power Tool Safety
Warnings – Power tool use and
care
Do not force the tool. Use the correct
tool for the application. The correct
power tool will do the job better and
safer when used at the rate for which it
was designed.
Do not use a power tool if the switch
does not turn it on or off. Any power tool
that cannot be controlled using the switch
is dangerous and must be repaired.
Remove the Power Cell before making
any adjustments, replacing or repairing
parts, cleaning the tool, leaving the tool
idle or unattended, transporting or
storing the tool. Such preventive safety
measures reduce the risk of starting the
power tool accidentally.
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.
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.
Use the power tool and accessories
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.

Warnings – Service

serviced by a qualified repair person
