WARNING!
Read all safety warnings and all
instructions. Failure to follow the warnings and instructions
may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.
Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.

battery-operated (cordless) power tool.
Work area safety
1. Keep the work area clean and well-lit. Cluttered, dark
areas invite accidents.
2. Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres,
such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases or
dust. Power tools create sparks ,which may ignite the
dust or fumes.
3. Keep children, bystanders and pets a safe distance away
from the power tool during operation and as the machine
cools. Children must always be supervised to ensure that
they do not play with the equipment.
Electrical safety
1. Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces,
such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There is
an increased risk of electric shock if your body is earthed
or grounded.
2. Do not expose power tools or chargers to rain or wet
conditions. Water entering a power tool or charger will
increase the risk of electric shock.
Personal safety
1. Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common
sense when operating a power tool. Do not use a power
tool while you are tired or under the influence of drugs,
alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention while
operating a power tool may result in serious personal
injury.
