GENERAL SAFETY RULES
WARNING: Read and understand all instructions. Failure to follow all
instructions listed below may result in electric shock, fire, and/or serious
personal injury. The term "power tool" in all of warnings listed below refers to
corded power tools or battery-operated (cordless) power tools.
READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
WORK AREA SAFETY
= Keep your work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
= Do not operate power tools in explosive environments, such as in the pres-
ence of flammable liquids, gases, or dust. Power tools create sparks, which
may ignite the dust or fumes.
= Keep children and bystanders away while operating a aower tool. Distrac-
tions may cause you to lose control.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
Avoid body contact with grounded surfaces, such as pipes, radiators,
ranges, and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your
body is grounded.
Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way.
Do not use any adapter plugs with grounded power tools. Unmodified plugs
and matching outlets will reduce the risk of electric shock.
Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power
tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling, or unplug-
ging the power tool. Keep the cord away from heat, oil, sharp edge, or mov-
ing parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock.
When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for
outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of elec-
tric shock.
• Use the battery only with the charger listed:
