GENERAL SAFETY RULES

WARNING!

READ AND UNDERSTAND ALL INSTRUCTIONS. Fail- ure to follow all instructions listed below, may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious personal injury.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

WORK AREA

n Keep your work area clean and well lit. Cluttered

benches and dark areas invite accidents.

n Do not operate power tools in explosive atmo- spheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases, or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.

nKeep bystanders, children, and visitors away while operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.

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.

MODEL	BATTERY PACK	CHARGER
P400	130255004	1423701
	130224028	140237021

nDo not abuse the cord. Never use the cord to carry the charger. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges, or moving parts. Replace damaged cords immediately. Damaged cords may create a fire.

PERSONAL SAFETY

n 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.

nDress properly. Do not wear loose clothing 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.

nAvoid 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 ac- cidents.

nRemove 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.

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

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

nDo not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Contain long hair. Loose clothes, jewelry, or long hair can be drawn into air vents.

nDo not use on a ladder or unstable support. Stable footing on a solid surface enables better control of the tool in unexpected situations.

TOOL USE AND CARE

nUse clamps or other practical way to secure and sup- port the workpiece to a stable platform. Holding the work by hand or against your body is unstable and may lead to loss of control.

nDo 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.

nDo 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.

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.

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

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.

nMaintain tools with care. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.

nCheck 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 serviced before using. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained tools.

nUse only accessories that are recommended 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.

nKeep the tool and its handle dry, clean and free from oil and grease. Always use a clean cloth when clean- ing. Never use brake fluids, gasoline, petroleum-based products, or any strong solvents to clean your tool. Fol- lowing this rule will reduce the risk of loss of control and deterioration of the enclosure plastic.
