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
inserting 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 bat-
tery packs. Use of any other battery packs may create a
risk of injury and fire.
[] When batten,, 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 acciden-
tally 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 maintained.
WARNING!
To reduce the risk of injury, user must
read instruction manual.
[]
When servicing a power tool, use only identical
replacement parts. Follow instructions in the Mainte=
nance section of this manual. Use of unauthorized parts
or failure to follow Maintenance instructions may create a
risk of shock or injury.
[] Wear ear protectors with impact drills. Exposure to
noise can cause hearing loss.
[] Hold power tools by insulated gripping surfaces when
performing an operation where 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 shock the operator.
[] Know your power tool Read operator's manual care-
fully. Learn its applications and limitations, as well as
the specific potential hazards related to this power
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 elec-
trical outlet; therefore, they are always in operating
condition. Be aware of possiMe 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 battery pack. Do not
use a battery pack or charger 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, bat=
tery 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.
[] If the power supply cord is damaged, it must be
replaced only by the manufacturer or by an authorized
service center to avoid risk.
