General Safety Information
CAUTION!
Read and understand all instructions. Failure
to follow all instructions listed below may
result in electric shock, fire, and/or serious
personal injury.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS!
Work Area Safety
• Keep your work area clean and well lit. Cluttered
benches and dark areas may cause accidents.
• Do not operate electrical devices or power tools in
explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of
flammable liquids, gases, or heavy dust. Electrical
devices or power tools create sparks which may ignite
the dust or fumes.
• Keep bystanders, children, and visitors away
while operating tool. Distractions can cause you
to lose control.
• Do not let visitors contact the tool or extension
cord. Such preventative measures reduce the risk
of injury.
Electrical Safety
• Avoid body contact with grounded surfaces such
as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There
is an increased risk of electrical shock if your body is
grounded.
• Tool is only splash resistant when the Monitor
Shield is in place. Water entering a power tool will in-
crease the risk of electrical shock. Keep battery out of
direct contact with water. Protect AC adapter from
damp or wet conditions.
• Do not abuse cord. Never use the cord to carry the
tool or pull the plug from an outlet. Keep cord
away from heat, oil, sharp edges, or moving parts.
Replace damaged cords immediately. Damaged
cords increase the risk of electrical shock.
• When operating a power tool outside, use an out-
door extension cord marked "W-A" or "W". These
cords are rated for outdoor use and reduce the risk of
electrical shock.
• Connect the tool to an AC power supply that
matches the name plate specification (120 or 240
Volts). Incorrect voltage supply can cause electrical
shock or burns.
• Use proper extension cords. (See chart.) Insufficient
conductor size will cause excessive voltage drop and
loss of power.

• Reduce the risk of electrical shock! Keep all elec-
trical connections dry and off the ground. Do not
touch plug with wet hands.
Battery Precautions
• Use only the size and type of battery specified.
• Be sure to install the battery with the correct po-
larity as indicated in the battery compartment.
• Recharge batteries with charging units specified by
the battery manufacturer. Using an improper charger
can overheat and rupture the battery.
• Properly dispose of the battery. Exposure to high
temperatures can cause the battery to explode,
so do not dispose of in a fire. Some countries have
regulations concerning battery disposal. Please fol-
low all applicable regulations.
Personal Safety
• Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use com-
mon sense when operating a power tool. Do not
use tool while tired or under the influence of drugs,
alcohol, or medications. A moment of inattention
while operating power tools may result in serious per-
sonal injury.
• Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jew-
elry. Contain long hair. Keep your hair, clothing, and
gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jew-
elry, or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
• Gloves should always be worn for health and safety
reasons. Sewer lines are unsanitary and may contain
harmful bacteria and viruses.
• Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and bal-
ance at all times. Proper footing and balance enables
better control of the tool in unexpected situations.
• Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection.
Dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing
protection must be used for appropriate conditions.
• Use proper accessories. Do not place this product
on any unstable cart or surface. The product may fall
causing serious injury to a child or adult or serious
damage to the product.
