General Safety Rules – For All Battery
Operated Tools
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

WORK AREA

• Keep your work area clean and well lit. Cluttered benches
and dark areas invite accidents.
• 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.
• Keep bystanders, children, and visitors away while
operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose
control.

ELECTRICAL SAFETY

• Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord to carry the tool. Keep
cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Replace
damaged cords immediately. Damaged cords may create a fire.
• 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.
• Use battery operated tool only with the specifically
designated battery pack. Use of any other batteries may create
a risk of fire.

PERSONAL SAFETY

• 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 serious
personal injury,
• Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry.
Contain long hair. Keep your hair, clothing, and gloves away from
moving parts. Loose clothing, jewelry, or long hair can be caught
in moving parts.
• Avoid accidental starting. Be sure switch is in the locked or
off position before 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.
• Remove adjusting keys or wrenches before turning the tool
on. A wrench or a key that is left attached to a rotating part of the
tool may result in personal injury.
• Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times.
Proper footing and balance enables better control of the tool in
unexpected situations.
• Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection. Dust
mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection must
be used for appropriate conditions.
TOOL USE AND CARE
• Use clamps or other practical ways to secure and support
the workpiece to a stable platform. Holding the work by hand
or against your body is unstable and may lead to a loss of control.
• Do not force tool. Use the correct tool for your application. The
correct tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it is
designed.
• Do not use tool if switch does not turn it on or off. A tool that
cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be
repaired.
• Disconnect battery pack from tool or place the switch in
the locked or off position before making any adjustments,
changing accessories, or storing the tool. Such preventative
