[]
Use the power tool, accessories
and tool bits etc.,
in accordance
with these instructions and in the
manner
intended for the particular
type of power
tool, taking into 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.
BATTERY
TOOL USE AND CARE
[] Ensure the switch
is in the off position before in-
setting
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 battery 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
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
burns or a fire.
Under abusive conditions,
liquid may be ejected
from the battery, avoid contact.
If contact
acci-
dentally
occurs, flush with water, if liquid contacts
eyes, additionally
seek medical help. Liquid ejected
from the battery may cause irritation or burns.
SERVICE
[] Have your power tool serviced
by a qualified
repair
person using only identical replacement
parts. This
will ensure that the safety of the power tool is main-
tained.
[] When servicing
a power tool, use only identical
replacement
parts. Follow instructions in the Main-
tenance section
of this manual. Use of unauthorized
parts or failure to follow Maintenance instructions
may
create a risk of shock or injury.
A
WARNING!
To reduce the risk of injury, user must
read instruction manual.
[] 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. Following this 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.
[] Protect your lungs. Wear a face or dust mask if the
operation
is dusty. Following this rule will reduce the
risk of serious personal injury.
[] Protect your hearing. Wear hearing protection
during extended
periods of operation.
Following this
rule will reduce the risk of serious personal 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
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.
[] Never use a battery that has been dropped
or
received a sharp blow. 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, flush with water immediately.
[] Do not charge battery tool in a damp or wet
location. 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
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.
