Tool Use and Care

12.Use clamps or other practical way 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 loss of control.

13.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.

14.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.

15.Disconnect battery pack from tool or place the switch in the locked or off posi- tion before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing the tool. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the tool accidentally.

16.Store idle tools out of reach of children and other untrained persons. Tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.

17.When 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 con- nection from one terminal to another.

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

18.Maintain tools with care. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained tools with sharp cutting edge are less likely to bind and are easier to control.

19.Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, and any other condition that may affect the tool’s operation. If damaged, have the tool ser- viced before using. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained tools.

20.Use only accessories that are recom- mended by the manufacturer for your model. Accessories that may be suitable for one tool may create a risk of injury when used on another tool.

SERVICE

21.Tool service must be performed only by qualified repair personnel. Service or main- tenance performed by unqualified personnel may result in a risk of injury.

22.When servicing a tool, use only identical replacement parts. Follow instructions in the Maintenance section of this manual. Use of unauthorized parts or failure to follow Maintenance instructions may create a risk of shock or injury.

SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES

USB022-2

DO NOT let comfort or familiarity with product (gained from repeated use) replace strict adherence to cordless driver safety rules. If you use this tool unsafely or incorrectly, you can suffer serious personal injury.

1.Hold tool by insulated gripping surfaces when performing an operation where the cutting tool may contact hidden wiring. Contact with a “live” wire will also make exposed metal parts of the tool “live” and shock the operator.

2.Be aware that this tool is always in an operating condition, because it does not have to be plugged into an electrical out- let.

3.Always be sure you have a firm footing.
