WARNING
• Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protec-
tion. Protective equipment such as dust mask, non-skid safety
shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for appropriate con-
ditions will reduce personal injuries.
• Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all
times. This enables better control of the power tool in unex-
pected situations.
• Do not force equipment. Use the correct equipment for your

Equipment Use and Care

application. The correct equipment will do the job better and
safer at the rate for which it is designed.
• Do not use equipment if the switch does not turn it ON and
OFF. Any tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is danger-
ous and must be repaired.
• Disconnect the batteries from the equipment before making
any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing. Such
preventive safety measures reduce the risk of injury.
• Store idle equipment out of the reach of children and do not
allow persons unfamiliar with the equipment or these in-
structions to operate the equipment. Equipment can be dan-
gerous in the hands of untrained users.
• Maintain equipment. Check for misalignment or binding of mov-
ing parts, missing parts, breakage of parts and any other condi-
tion that may affect the equipmentʼs operation. If damaged, have
the equipment repaired before use. Many accidents are caused
by poorly maintained equipment.
• Use the equipment and accessories in accordance with
these instructions, taking into account the working condi-
tions and the work to be performed. Use of the equipment for
operations different from those intended could result in a haz-
ardous situation.
