SERVICE
WORK AREA SAFETY
1.Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
2.Do not operate power tools in ex- plosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liq- uids, gases, or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
3.Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.
8.When operating a power tool out- doors, use an extension cord suit- able for outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.
PERSONAL SAFETY
9.Stay alert, watch what you are do- ing and use common sense when operating a power tool. Do not use a power tool while you are tired or under the influence of drugs, al- cohol or medication. A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.
POWER TOOL USE AND CARE
16. Do not force the power tool. Use |
the correct power tool for your ap- |
plication. The correct power tool will |
do the job better and safer at the rate |
for which it was designed. |
17. Do not use the power tool if the |
switch does not turn it on and off. |
Any power tool that cannot be con- |
trolled with the switch is dangerous |
and must be repaired. |
18. Disconnect the plug from the |
power source and/or the battery |
pack from the power tool before |
making any adjustments, chang- |
ing accessories, or storing power |
23.Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair person using only identical replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
4.Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools. Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.
5.Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges and re- frigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is earthed or grounded.
6.Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
7.Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling, or unplugging the power tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges, or moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock.
10.Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection. Safety equip- ment such as dust mask,

sures reduce the risk of starting the |
tool accidentally. |
19. Store idle power tools out of the |
reach of children and do not al- |
low persons unfamiliar with the |
power tools or these instructions |
to operate power tools. Power |
tools are dangerous in the hands of |
untrained users. |
20. Maintain power tools. Check for |
misalignment or binding of mov- |
ing parts, breakage of parts and |
any other condition that may af- |
fect the power tool's operation. If |
damaged, have the power tool |
repaired before use. Many acci- |
dents are caused by poorly maintained |
power tools. |
21. Keep cutting tools sharp and |
clean. Properly maintained cutting |
tools with sharp cutting edges are less |
likely to bind and are easier to control. |
