•
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 accessories,
or storing
•
tool. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk
of starting the tool accidentally.
•
Store idle tools out of the reach of children and
other untrained persons. Tools are dangerous in the
Service
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 terminals 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 condition
that may affect the tool's operation. If damaged,
have the tool serviced before using. Many accidents
are caused by poorly maintained tools.
Use only accessories that are recommended by
the manufacturer
for your model. Accessories that
may be suitable for one tool, may create a risk of injury
when used on another tool.
•
Tool service must be performed by qualified repair
personnel. Service or maintenance performed by
unqualified personnel may result in a risk of injury.
When servicing a tool, use only identical replace-
ment parts. Follow instructions in the Maintenance
section of this manual. Use of unauthorized parts or
failure to follow Maintenance Instructions may 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 make exposed metal parts of the tool "live" and shock the operator.
Additional
Rules For Safe Operation
•
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. Following this rule will reduce the risk of
electric shock, fire, or serious injury.
•
Make sure your extension cord is in good condi-
tion. When using an extension cord, be sure to use
one heavy enough to carry the current your prod-
uct will draw. A wire gage size (A.W.G.) of at least
16 is recommended
for an extension cord 100 feet
or less in length. A cord exceeding 100 feet is not
recommended.
If in doubt, use the next heavier
gage. The smaller the gage number, the heavier
the cord. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line
voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating.
Important
Rules For Battery Tools
•
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 chang-
ing accessories.
•
Do not place battery tools or their batteries near
fire or heat. This will reduce the risk of explosion and
possible injury.
_,
WARNING:
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 pres-
ence of 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, fire, or serious personal injury.
Your battery tool should be charged in a location
where the temperature is more than 50°F but less
than IO0°F. Following this rule will reduce the risk of
electric shock, fire, or serious personal injury.
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. 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.
