SERVICE
• Tool service must be performed only by qualified
repair personnel. Service or maintenance performed
by unqualifiedpersonnelmay result in a riskof injury.
• When servicing a tool, use only identical replace-
ment parts. Follow instructions in the Maintenance
section of this manual. Use of unauthorizedparts or
failure to follow Maintenance Instructionsmay create a
risk of shock or injury.
• Hold tool by insulated gripping surfaces when
performing an operation where the cutting tool may
contact hidden wiring. Contact with a "live" wire will
also make exposed metal parts of the tool "live" and
shock the operator.
• Know your power tool. Read operator's manual
carefully. Learn its applications and limitations, as
well as the specific potential hazards related to this
tool. Followingthis rule will reduce the risk of electric
shock, fire, or serious injury.
• Always wear safety glasses with side shields.
Everyday glasses have only impact resistant lenses.
They are NOT safety glasses. Following this rule will
reduce the risk of eye injury.
• Battery tools do not have to be plugged into an
electrical outlet; therefore, they are always in
operating condition. Be aware of possible hazards
when not using your battery tool or when changing
accessories. Following this rule will reduce the risk of
electricshock, fire, or serious personalinjury.
• Do not place battery tools or their batteries near
fire or heat. This will reduce the risk of explosionand
possiblyinjury.
• Never use a battery that has been dropped or
received a sharp blow. A damaged battery is subject
to explosion. Properlydisposeof a dropped or dam-
aged battery immediately.
• Batteries vent hydrogen gas and can explode in
the presence of a source of ignition, such as a pilot
light. To reducethe risk of serious personalinjury,
never use any cordlessproduct in the presenceof
open flame. An exploded battery can propel debris and
chemicals. If exposed, flush with water immediately.
• Do not charge battery tool in a damp or wet loca-
tion. Following this rule will reduce the risk of electric
shock.
• For best results, your battery tool should be
charged in a location where the temperature is
more than 50°F but less than 100°F. Do not store
outside or in vehicles.
• Under extreme usage or temperature condi-
tions, battery leakage may occur. If liquid comes
in contact with your skin, wash immediately with
soap and water, then neutralize with lemon juice
or vinegar. If liquid gets into your eyes, flush them
with clean water for at least 10 minutes, then seek
immediate medical attention. Following this rule will
reduce the risk of serious personal injury.
