A& 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

[] Keep your work area clean and well lit. Cluttered benches and dark areas invite accidents.

[] 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.

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

ELECTRICAL SAFETY

[] A 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.

[] Use battery operated tool only with specifically designated battery pack. Use of any other

batteries may create a risk of fire.

 

[] Use battery only with charger listed.

[] Do 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

[] 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 influ-

ence of drugs, alcohol, or medication. A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.

[] Dress 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.

[] Avoid accidental starting. Be sure switch is off before plugging in. Carring tools with your finger on

the switch or plugging in the tools that have the switch on invites accidents.

[] 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.

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

[] Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protec- tion. Dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat,

or hearing protection must be used for appropriate conditions.

[] Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Contain

long hair. Loose clothes, jewelry, or long hair can be drawn into air vents.

[] Do 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

[] 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.

[] 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.

[] 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.

[] Disconnect battery pack from tool or place the switch in the locked or off position before making any adjustments, changing accesso- ries, or storing the tool. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the tool accidentally.

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

[] 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 connection from one terminal to another. Shorting the battery termi- nals together may cause sparks, burns, or a fire.

[] Maintain 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.

[] Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, and any other condi- tion that may affect the tool's operation. If damaged, have the tool serviced before using. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained tools.
