b. Use personal protective equipment. Always

wear eye protection. Safety equipment such

as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard

hat, or hearing protection used for appropriate

conditions will reduce personal injuries.

c. Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the

switch is in the off-position before connecting

to power source and/or battery pack, picking

up or carrying the tool. Carrying power tools

with your finger on the switch or energizing power

tools that have the switch on invites accidents.

d. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and

balance at all times. This enables better control

of the power tool in unexpected situations.

e. Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or

jewelry. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves

away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry

or long hair can be caught in moving parts.

f. Only use safety equipment that has been

approved by an appropriate standards agency.

Unapproved safety equipment may not provide

adequate protection. Eye protection must be ANSI-

approved and breathing protection must be NIOSH-

approved for the specific hazards in the work area.

4. 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. Any power

tool that cannot be controlled with the switch

is dangerous and must be repaired.

c. Disconnect the plug from the power source

and/or the battery pack from the power tool

before making any adjustments, changing

accessories, or storing power tools.

Such preventive safety measures reduce the

risk of starting the power tool accidentally.

d. 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.

e. 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.

f. Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits

etc. 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.

5. Battery tool use and care

a. Recharge only with the charger specified by

the manufacturer. A charger that is suitable

for one type of battery pack may create a risk

of fire when used with another battery pack.

b. Use power tools only with specifically

designated battery packs. Use of any other

battery packs may create a risk of injury and fire.

c. When battery pack is not in use, keep it away

from other metal objects, like paper clips,

coins, keys, nails, screws or other small metal

objects, that can make a connection from

one terminal to another. Shorting the battery

terminals together may cause burns or a fire.

d. Under abusive conditions, liquid may be

ejected from the battery; avoid contact.

If contact accidentally occurs, flush with

water. If liquid contacts eyes, additionally

seek medical help. Liquid ejected from the

battery may cause irritation or burns.

6. Service

a. Have your power tool serviced by a

qualified repair person using only identical

replacement parts. This will ensure that the

safety of the power tool is maintained.
