SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES
PRECAUTIONS AGAINST KICKBACK
Kickback is a dangerous reaction that can lead to serious injury.
nKeep a firm grip on the unit with both hands when operating the unit. Place your right hand on the rear handle and your left hand on the front handle. A firm grip will help you reduce kickback and maintain control of the unit.
nMake sure that the area in which you are cutting is free from obstructions. Do not let the blade come in contact with any obstruction while operating the unit.
nAlways cut with the unit at full speed. Fully squeeze the trigger and maintain a steady cutting speed.
nUse only the replacement blade specified for your unit.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
nA 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.
nUse battery operated tool only with specifically designated battery pack. Use of any other batteries may create a risk of fire.
nUse battery only with charger listed.

nBattery tools do not have to be plugged into an elec- trical outlet; therefore, they are always in operating condition. Be aware of possible hazards when not using your battery tool or when changing accessories. Following this rule will reduce the risk of electric shock, fire, or serious personal injury.
nDisconnect battery pack from tool or place the switch in the locked or off position before making any adjust- ments, changing accessories, or storing the tool. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the tool accidentally.
nDo not place battery tools or their batteries near fire or heat. This will reduce the risk of explosion and pos- sibly injury.
nDo not mutilate the battery pack. Released electrolyte is corrosive and may cause damage to the eyes or skin. It may be toxic if swallowed.
nNever use a battery that has been dropped or received a sharp blow. A damaged battery is subject to explosion. Properly dispose of a dropped or damaged battery immediately.
nBatteries vent hydrogen gas and can explode in the presence of a source of ignition, such as a pilot light. To reduce the risk of serious personal injury, never use any cordless product in the presence of open flame. An exploded battery can propel debris and chemicals. If exposed, flush with water immediately.
nDo not charge battery tool in a damp or wet location. Following this rule will reduce the risk of electric shock.
nFor best results, your battery tool should be charged in a location where the temperature is more than 50°F but less than 100°F. Do not store outside or in vehicles.
nUnder extreme usage or temperature conditions, bat- tery leakage may occur. If liquid comes in contact with your skin, wash immediately with soap and water, then neutralize with lemon juice or vinegar. If liquid gets into your eyes, flush them with clean water for at least 10 minutes, then seek immediate medical attention.
nWhen battery pack is not in use, keep it away from other metal objects like: paper clips, coins, keys, nails, screws, or other small metal objects that can make a connection from one terminal to another. Shorting the battery terminals together may cause sparks, burns, or a fire.
