WARNING!

Read all safety warnings and all

instructions. Failure to follow the warnings and instructions

may result in electric shock, fire, and/or serious injury.

Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.

battery-operated (cordless) power tool.

Work area safety

1. Keep the work area clean and well-lit. Cluttered, dark

areas invite accidents.

2. Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres,

such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases, or

dust. Power tools create sparks ,which may ignite the

dust or fumes.

3. Keep children, bystanders, and pets a safe distance away

from the power tool during operation and as the machine

cools. Children must always be supervised to ensure that

they do not play with the equipment.

1. Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces,

such as pipes, radiators, ranges, and refrigerators. There

is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is

earthed or grounded.

2. Do not expose power tools or chargers to rain or wet

conditions. Water entering a power tool or charger will

increase the risk of electric shock.

Personal safety

1. Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use 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 a power tool may result in serious personal

injury.
