Electrical Safety
• A battery operated tool with integral
batteries or a separate battery pack
must be recharged only with the
specified charger for the battery. A
charger that may be suitable for one type
of battery may create a risk of fire when
used with another battery.
• Use battery operated tool only with
specifically designated battery pack.
Use of any other batteries may create a
risk of fire.
Personal Safety
• Stay alert, watch what you are doing
and use common sense when
operating a power tool. Do not use 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.
• 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.
• Avoid accidental starting. Be sure
switch is in the locked or off position
before inserting battery pack. Carrying
tools with your finger on the switch or
inserting the battery pack into a tool with
the switch on invites accidents.
• Remove adjusting keys or wrenches
before turning the tool on. A wrench or
a key that is left attached to a rotating part
of the tool may result in personal injury.
• Do not overreach. Keep proper footing
and balance at all times. Proper footing
and balance enable 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.
Tool Use and Care
• Use clamps 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.
• Do not force 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.
• Do not use tool if switch does not turn
it on or off. A tool that cannot be
controlled with the switch is dangerous
and must be repaired.
• Disconnect battery pack from tool or
place the switch in the locked or off
position before making any
adjustments, changing accessories,
or storing the tool. Such preventive
safety measures reduce the risk of
starting the tool accidentally.
• Store idle tools out of reach of
children and other untrained persons.
Tools are dangerous in the hands of
untrained users.
• 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 sparks, burns, or a
fire.
• Maintain tools with care. Keep cutting
tools sharp and clean. Properly
maintained tools, with sharp cutting
edges are less likely to bind and are
easier to control.
• 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.
• Use only accessories that are
recommended by the manufacturer for
your model. Accessories that may be
suitable for one tool may create a risk of
injury when used on another tool.
Service
• Tool service must be performed only
by qualified repair personnel. Service
or maintenance performed by unqualified
personnel may result in a risk of injury.
• When servicing a tool, use only
identical replacement parts. Follow
instructions in the Maintenance
section of this manual. Use of
unauthorized parts or failure to follow
Maintenance Instructions may create a
risk of shock or injury.
