POWER TOOL USE AND CARE
Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for your
application. The correct power tool will do the job better and more safely at
the rate for which it was designated.
Do not use the power tool if the switch does not 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 and/or the battery pack
from the power tool before making any adjustments, changing
accessories, or storing power tools. Such preventive safety measures
reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.
Store idle power tools out of the reach of children 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 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. Properlymaintainedcuttingtoolswith
sharpcuttingedges are tesslikelyto bind and are easier to control.
Use the power tool, accessories, blades, etc. in accordance with these
instructions and in the manner intended for the particular type of power tool,
taking in account the working conditions and the work to be performed. Use
of the power tool for operations different from those intended could result in
a hazardous situation.
Hold power tools by the insulated gripping surfaces when performing any
operation when the cutting tool may contact hidden wiring or its own cord.
Contact with a "live" wire will also make exposed metal parts of the tool
"live" and can shock the operator.
Know your power tool. Read the product manual carefully. Learn its
applications and limitations, as well as the specific, potential hazards related
to this tool. Following this rule will reduce the risk of electric shock, fire or
serious injury.
Save these instructions. Refer to them frequently and use them to instruct
others who may use this tool. If you lend this tool to someone else, also lend
them these instructions.
BATTERY TOOL USE AND CARE
• Make sure that the switch is in the OFF position before inserting the
battery pack. Inserting the battery pack into power tools that have the
switch ON invites accidents.
Recharge only with the charger specified by the manufacturer. A charger
that is suitable for one type of batter pack may create a risk of fire when used
with another battery pack.
Use power tools only with specifically designated 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 other metal objects,
such as 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 from the battery;
avoid contact.
If contact accidentally occurs, flush with water. If liquid contacts eyes, seek
medical help. Liquid ejected from the battery may cause irritation or burns.
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 electric shock, fire or serious
personal injury.
Do not place battery tools or their batteries near fire or heat. This will
reduce the risk of explosion and possibly injury.
Do not crush, drop or damage the battery pack. Do not use a battery pack
or chargerthat hasbeen dropped or received a sharpblow.
A damaged battery is subject to explosion. Properly dispose of a dropped
or damaged battery immediately.
Batteries vent hydrogen gas and can explode in the presence of a
source of ignition, such as a pilot light. To reduce the risk of serious
personal injury, never use any cordless product in the presence of open
flame. An exploded battery can propel debris and chemicals. If exposed to
such debris or chemicals, immediately flush the exposed area with water.
Do not charge a battery tool in a damp or wet location. Following this rule
will reduce the risk of electric shock.
• Under extreme usage or temperature conditions, 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.
