Tool Use and Care
•
Use clamps or other practical way to secure and
support the workplece 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 toot or place the switch
in the locked or off position before making any adjust-
rnents, changing accessories, or stodng the tool. Such
preventivesafety measures reduce riskof startingthe tool
accidentally.
Service
•
Store idle tools out of reach of children and other
untrained persons. Tools are dangerous in the hands
of untrained users.
•
When battery peck 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 pads,
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 only by qualified
repair personnel. Service or maintenance performed
by unqualified personnel could 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 condition.
When using an extension cord, be sure to use one
heavy enough to carry the current your product will
draw. A wire gage size (A.W.G.) of at least 16 is
recommended for an extension cord lOg feet or less
in length. A cord exceeding 100 feet is not recom-
mended. 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 result-
ing 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.
Following this rule will reduce the
risk of electric shock, fire, or serious personal injury.
•
Do not place battery tools or their batteries near
4
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
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 10O°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.
