door use. Use of a cord suitable for out-
door use reduces the risk of electric shock.
• If operating a power tool in a damp loca-
tion is unavoidable, use a ground fault
circuit interrupter (GFCI) protected sup-
ply. Use of a GFCI reduces the risk of elec-
tric shock.

Personal Safety

• 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 influ-
ence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A
moment of inattention while operating power
tools may result in serious personal injury.
• Use personal protective equipment. Al -
ways wear eye protection. Protective
equip ment such as dust mask, non-skid
safe ty shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection
used for appropriate conditions will reduce
personal injuries.
• Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure
the switch is in the OFF position be-
fore connecting to power source and/or
battery pack, picking up or carrying the
tool. Carrying power tools with your fin-
ger on the switch or energizing power tools
that have the switch ON invites accidents.
• Remove any adjusting key or wrench
be fore turning the power tool ON. A
wrench or a key left attached to a rotating
part of the power tool may result in per-
sonal injury.
• Do not overreach. Keep proper footing
and balance at all times. This enables
bet ter control of the power tool in unex-
pected situations.
• Dress properly. Do not wear loose cloth-
ing or jewelry. Keep your hair, and cloth-
ing away from moving parts. Loose
clothes, jewelry, or long hair can be caught
in moving parts.
• If devices are provided for the connec-
tion of dust extraction and collection
facilities, ensure these are connected
and properly used. Use of dust collec-
tion can reduce dust-related hazards.
• Do not let familiarity gained from fre-
quent use of tools allow you to become
complacent and ignore tool safety prin-
ciples. A careless action can cause severe
injury within a fraction of a second.

Power Tool use and Care

• Do not force power tool. Use the correct
power tool for your application. The cor-
rect power tool will do the job better and
safer at the rate for which it is designed.
• Do not use power tool if the switch does
not turn it ON and OFF. Any power tool
that cannot be controlled with the switch is
dangerous and must be repaired.
• Disconnect the plug from the power
source and/or remove the battery pack, if
detachable, from the power tool before
making any adjustments, changing ac-
cessories, or storing power tools. Such
preventive safety measures reduce the risk
of starting the power tool accidentally.
• Store idle power tools out of the reach
of children and do not allow persons
unfamiliar with the power tool or these
instructions to operate the tool. Power
tools are dangerous in the hands of un-
trained users.
• Maintain power tools and accessories.
Check for misalignment or binding of mov-
ing parts, breakage of parts and any other
condition that may affect the power tool's
operation. If damaged, have the power tool
repaired before use. Many accidents are
caused by poorly maintained power tools.
• Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Pro -
perly maintained cutting tools with sharp
cutting edges are less likely to bind and are
easier to control.
• Use the power tool, accessories and
tool bits etc. in accordance with these
instructions, taking into account the
working conditions and the work to be
performed. The use of the power tool for
operations different from those intended
could result in a hazardous situation.
• Keep handles and grasping surfaces
dry, clean and free from oil and grease.
Slippery handles and grasping surfaces
do not allow for safe handling and control of
the tool in unexpected situations.
Battery Use & Care
• Recharge only with the charger speci-
fied by the manufacturer. A charger that is
suitable for one type of battery pack may
create a risk of fire when used with an-
other battery pack.
• Use power tools only with specifically
designated battery packs. Use of any oth -
