Safety Power tool use and care a) Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for your application. The correct power tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was designed. b) Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it on and off.
Safety b) Only use the rechargeable batteries designated for use in power tools. Using other rechargeable batteries may result in injury and a risk of fire. c) Keep the unused rechargeable battery away from paper clips, coins, keys, nails, screws or other small metallic objects that could bridge the contacts.
