GENERAL SAFETY RULES

SERVICE

￿Tool service must be performed only by qualified repair personnel. Service or maintenance per- formed by unqualified personnel could result in a risk of injury.

￿When servicing a tool, use only identical replace- ment parts. Follow instructions in the Mainte- nance 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

￿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.

ADDITIONAL SAFETY RULES

￿Know your power tool. Read operator's manual carefully. Learn its applications and limitations, as well as the specific potential hazards related to this tool. Following this rule will reduce the risk of electric shock, fire, or serious injury.

￿Always wear safety glasses with side shields. Ev- eryday glasses have only impact resistant lenses. They are NOT safety glasses. Following this rule will reduce the risk of eye injury.

IMPORTANT RULES FOR BATTERY TOOLS

￿Battery tools do not have to be plugged into an electrical outlet; therefore, they are always in oper- ating condition. Be aware of possible hazards when not using your battery tool or when changing acces- sories. Following this rule will reduce the risk of electric shock, fire, or serious personal injury.

￿Do not place battery tools or their batteries near fire or heat. This will reduce the risk of explosion and possibly injury.

￿WARNING: Batteries vent hydrogen gas and can ex- plode 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.

￿Do not charge battery tool in a damp or wet location. Following this rule will reduce the risk of electric shock.

￿For 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.

￿Under extreme usage or temperature conditions, battery leakage may occur. If liquid comes in con- tact 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. Following this rule will reduce the risk of serious personal injury.
