|
INSTRUCTIONS.
Failure to follow all instructions
listed below, may result in electric shock, fire and/
or serious personal injury.
SAVE THESE
iNSTRUCTiONS
WORK AREA
[] Keep your work area clean and well lit. Cluttered
benches and dark areas invite accidents.
[] Do not operate power tools in explosive
atmo-
spheres,
such as in the presence of flammable
liquids, gases, or dust.
Power tools create sparks
which may ignite the dust or fumes.
[] Keep bystanders,
children,
and visitors
away
while operating a power tool. Distractions can
cause you to lose control.
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.
[] Use battery only with charger listed.

[] Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord to
carry the charger. Keep cord away from heat,
oil, sharp edges, or moving
parts. Replace
damaged
cords immediately. Damaged cords
may create a 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 influ-
ence 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 off
before plugging in. Carring tools with your finger on
the switch or plugging in the tools that have 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 protec-
tion. Dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat,
or hearing protection must be used for appropriate
conditions.
[] Do not wear loose clothing
or jewelry.
Contain
long hair. Loose clothes, jewelry, or long hair can
be drawn into air vents.
[] Do not use on a ladder or unstable
support.
Stable footing on a solid surface enables better
control of the tool in unexpected situations.
TOOL USE AND CARE
[] Use clamps or other practical
way 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
accesso-
ries, 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 termi-
nals 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 condi-
tion that may affect the tool's operation.
If
damaged,
have the tool serviced
before using.
Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained
tools.
