GENERAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING!
Read and understand all instructions. Failure
to follow all instructions listed below may
result in electric shock, fire and/or serious
personal injury:
■ Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered
or dark areas invite accidents.
■ Do not operate cordless power tools in
explosive atmospheres, such as in the
presence of flammable liquids, gases, or
dust. Cordless power tools create sparks
which may ignite the dust or fumes.
■ Do not operate in poor lighting.
■ Avoid Dangerous Environment - Don't use
appliances in damp or wet locations. Don't
Use In Rain.
■ Keep Children Away - All visitors should be
kept at a distance from work area.
■ Do not allow to be used as a toy. Close
attention is necessary when used by or near
children.
■ Do not expose cordless power tools to rain
or wet conditions. Do not handle plug or tool
with wet hands. Water entering the tool will
increase the risk of electric shock.
■ Do not charge battery in rain, or damp or
wet location. Following this rule will reduce
the risk of electric shock.
■ Do not abuse the charger cord. Never use
the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging.
Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges
or moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords
increase the risk of electric shock. If charger
cord is damaged, replace the charger with
an identical model as listed in the Product
Specifications in this manual.
■ Stay Alert - Watch what you are doing.
Use common sense. Do not operate tools
when you are tired or under the influence of
drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of
inattention while operating tools may result in
serious personal injury.
■ Use personal protective equipment. Always
wear eye protection. Protective equipment
such as dusk mask, non-skid safety shoes,
hard hat, or hearing protection used for
appropriate conditions will reduce personal
injuries. Secure long hair above shoulder
level to prevent entanglement in moving
parts.
■ Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure
switch is in the off-position before installing
battery pack, picking up or carrying the tool.
Carrying cordless power tools with your
finger on the switch or energizing cordless
power tools that have the switch on invites
accidents.
■ Do not overreach. Keep proper footing
and balance at all times. This enables better
control of the tool in unexpected situations.
Operate the tool only when standing on fixed,
secure and level surface. Slippery or unstable
surfaces such as ladders may cause a loss of
balance or control of the product.
■ Dress Properly - Do not wear loose clothing
or jewelry. They can be caught in moving
parts. Use of rubber gloves and substantial
footwear is recommended when working
outdoors. Wear protective hair covering to
contain long hair.
■ Wear heavy, long pants, long sleeves,
boots, and gloves. Do not wear loose fitting
clothing, shorts pants, sandals or similar
lightweight footwear or go barefoot.
■ Keep all parts of your body away from any
moving parts and all hot surfaces of the unit.
