Work Area Safety

operating a power tool . Distractions can cause you to lose
control and endanger others .
Electrical Safety

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 .

battery pack . Use of any other batteries may create a risk
of fire .
Personal Safety

A tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is
dangerous and must be repaired .
• Disconnect battery pack from tool or place the switch

untrained users .
• When battery pack is not in use, keep it away from
other metal objects like: paper clips, coins, keys, nails,

battery terminals together may cause sparks, burns, or
a fire .

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
