GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY WARNINGS

WARNING! Read all safety warnings and all instruc-
tions. Failure to follow the warnings and instructions
may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.
Save all warnings and instructions for future ref-
erence. The term "power tool" in the warnings refers
to your mains-operated (corded) power tool or bat-
tery-operated (cordless) power tool.
WORK AREA
Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or
f
dark areas invite accidents.
Do not operate power tools in explosive atmo-
f
spheres, such as in the presence of flammable
liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks
which may ignite the dust or fumes.
Keep children and bystanders away while oper-
f
ating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to
lose control.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded
f
surfaces, such as pipes, radiators, ranges and
refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric
shock if your body is earthed or grounded.
Do not expose power tools to rain or wet condi-
f
tions. Water entering a power tool will increase the
risk of electric shock.
PERSONAL SAFETY
Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use
f
common sense when operating a power tool. Do
not use a power tool while you are tired or under
the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A
moment of inattention while operating power tools
may result in serious personal injury.
Use personal protective equipment. Always
f
wear eye protection. Protective equipment such
as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or
hearing protection used for appropriate conditions
will reduce personal injuries.
Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the
f
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 pow-
er tools that have the switch on invites accidents.
Remove any adjusting key or wrench before
f
turning the power tool on. A wrench or a key left
attached to a rotating part of the power tool may
result in personal injury.
Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and bal-
f
ance at all times. This enables better control of
the power tool in unexpected situations.
Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or
f
jewelry. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves
away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry
or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
POWER TOOL USE AND CARE
Do not force the power tool. Use the correct
f
power tool for your application. The correct
power tool will do the job better and safer at the
rate for which it was designed.
Do not use the power tool if the switch does not
f
turn it on and off. Any power tool that cannot be
controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be
repaired.
Disconnect the plug from the power source
f
and/or the battery pack from the power tool
before making any adjustments, changing ac-
cessories, or storing power tools. Such preven-
tive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the
power tool accidentally.
Store idle power tools out of the reach of chil-
f
dren 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.
Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment
f
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.
Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly
f
maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges
are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits
f
etc. in accordance with these instructions, tak-
ing into account the working conditions and the
work to be performed. Use of the power tool for
operations different from those intended could re-
sult in a hazardous situation.
BATTERY TOOL USE AND CARE
Recharge only with the charger specified by the
f
manufacturer. A charger that is suitable for one type of
battery pack may create a risk of fire when used with
another battery pack.
Use power tools only with specifically designated
f
battery packs. Use of any other battery packs may
create a risk of injury and fire.
When battery pack is not in use, keep it away from
f
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.
Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected
f
from the battery; avoid contact. If contact acciden-
tally occurs, flush with water. If the liquid comes in
contact with eyes, seek medical help immediately.
Liquid ejected from the battery may cause irritation or
burns.
SERVICE
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.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR CORDLESS DRILL
DRIVERS
Avoid damage that can be caused by screws, nails
f
and other elements in your workpiece; remove them
