4.
Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool could
damage motor or battery.
5.
Do not store battery with other metal objects. A short circuit may occur.
6.
Stay alert. Watch what you are doing, and use common sense when operating a
power tool. Do not use a power 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 the Power Switch is off while inserting the battery.
Carrying power tools with your finger on the Power Switch invites accidents.
9.
Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. Proper footing and
balance enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations.
10. Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection. Dust mask, non-skid safety
shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection must be used for appropriate conditions.
11. Use clamps (not included) or other practical ways 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.
12. Do not force the tool. Use the correct tool for your application. The correct tool will do
the job better and safer at the rate for which it is designed.
13. Do not use the power tool if the Power Switch does not turn it on or off. Any tool that
cannot be controlled with the Power Switch is dangerous and must be replaced.
14. Remove the battery from the tool before making any adjustments, changing
accessories, or storing the tool. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of
starting the tool accidentally.
15. Store idle tools out of reach of children and other untrained persons. Tools are
dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
16. Maintain tools with care. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained
tools with a sharp cutting edge are less likely to bind and are easier to control. Do not
use a damaged tool. Tag damaged tools "Do not use" until repaired.
17. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, and any other
condition that may affect the tool's operation. If damaged, have the tool serviced
before using. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained tools.
