SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING! Read and understand all instructions. Failure to follow all instructions
listed below, may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious personal injury.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
1. WORK AREA
a) Keep your work area clean and well lit. Cluttered benches and dark areas invite ac-
cidents.
b) Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence
of flammable liquids, gases or dusts. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the
dust or fumes.
c) Keep by-standers, children, and visitors away while operating a power tool. Dis-
tractions can cause you to lose control.
2. ELECTRICAL SAFETY
a) 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.
b) Use battery operated tool only with specifically designated battery pack. Use of
any other batteries may create a risk of fire.
3. PERSONAL SAFETY
a) 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 influence of drugs, alcohol,
or medication. A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in seri-
ous personal injury.
b) Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Contain long hair. Keep

long hair can be caught in moving parts. Keep handles dry, clean and free from oil and
grease. Rubber gloves and non-skid footwear are recommended when working outdoors.
c) Avoid accidental starting. Be sure switch is in the locked or "OFF" position be-
fore 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.
d) Remove all adjusting keys and wrenches. Make a habit of checking that adjusting
keys, wrenches, etc. are removed from the tool before turning it "ON" .
e) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. Proper footing and
balance enable better control of the tool in unexpected situations.
f) Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection. Dust mask, non-skid safety
shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection may be used for appropriate conditions.
g) Keep hands away from all cutting edges and moving parts.
h) If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and collection
facilities, ensure these are connected and properly used. Use of these devices can
reduce dust-related hazards.
4. TOOL USE AND CARE
