,_ WARNING: Read and understand all
instructions. Failure to fellow all instructions
listed below, may result in electric shock, fire
and/or serious personal injury.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
WORK AREA
• Keep your work area clean and well lit. Clut-
tered benches and dark areas invite accidents.
• Do not operate power tools in explosive atmo-
spheres, such as in the presence of flammable
liquids, gases, or dust. Power tools create
sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
• Keep bystanders, children, and visitors away
while operating a power tool. Distractions can
cause you to lose control.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
• A battery operated tool with integral batteries
or a separate battery pack must be recharged
only with the specified charger for the battery.
A charger that may be suitable for one type of
battery may create a risk of fire when used with
another battery.
• Use battery operated tool only with specifically
designated battery pack. Use of any other
batteries may create a risk of fire.
• Use battery only with charger listed.

• Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord to
carry the charger. Keep cord away from heat,
oil, sharp edges, or moving parts. Replace
damaged cords immediately. Damaged cords
may create a fire.
PERSONAL SAFETY
• Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use
common sense when operating a power tool.
Do not use tool while tired or under the influ-
ence of drugs, alcohol, or medication. A mo-
ment of inattention while operating power tools
may result in serious personal injury.
• Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or
jewelry. Contain long hair. Keep your hair,
clothing, and gloves away from moving parts.
Loose clothes, jewelry, or long hair can be caught
in moving parts.
• Avoid accidental starting. Be sure switch is in
the locked or off position before inserting
battery pack. Carrying tools with your finger on
the switch or inserting the battery pack into a tool
with the switch on invites accidents.

• Remove adjusting keys or wrenches before
turning the tool on. A wrench or a key that is left
attached to a rotating part of the tool may result in
personal injury.
• Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and
balance at all times. Proper footing and balance
enable better control of the tool in unexpected
situations.
• Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protec-
tion. Dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat,
or hearing protection must be used for appropriate
conditions.
TOOL USE AND CARE
• Use clamps or other practical way to secure
and support the workpiece to a stable platform.
Holding the work by hand or against your body is
unstable and may lead to loss of control.
• Do not force tool. Use the correct tool for your
application. The correct tool will do the job better
and safer at the rate for which it is designed.
• 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 accesso-
ries, or storing the tool. Such preventive safety
measures reduce the risk of starting the tool
accidentally.
• Store idle tools out of reach of children and
other untrained persons. Tools are dangerous in
the 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 condi-
tion 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.
• Keep the tool and its handle dry, clean and free
from oil and grease. Always use a clean cloth
when cleaning. Never use brake fluids, gasoline,
petroleum-based products, or any strong solvents
to clean your tool. Following this rule will reduce the
risk of loss of control and deterioration of the
enclosure plastic.
