GENERAL SAFETY RULES

USA003-1

(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

1.Keep your work area clean and well lit. Cluttered benches and dark areas invite acci- dents.

2.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.

3.Keep bystanders, children, and visitors away while operating a power tool. Distrac- tions can cause you to lose control.

Electrical Safety

4.A battery operated tool with integral bat- teries or a separate battery pack must be recharged only with the specified charger for the battery. A charger that may be suit- able for one type of battery may create a risk of fire when used with another battery.

5.Use battery operated tool only with specif- ically designated battery pack. Use of any other batteries may create a risk of fire.

Personal Safety

6.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.

7.Dress properly. Do not wear loose cloth- ing or jewelry. Contain long hair. Keep your hair, clothing, and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry, or long hair can be caught in moving parts.

8.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 bat- tery pack into a tool with the switch on invites accidents.

9.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.

10.Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. Proper footing and balance enable better control of the tool in unexpected situations.

11.Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection. Dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection must be used for appropriate conditions.
