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

PERSONAL SAFETY

1.Keep your work area clean and well lit. Cluttered benches and 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 bystanders, children, and visitors away while operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control. Protect others in the work area from debris such as chips and sparks. Provide barriers or shields as needed.

ELECTRICAL SAFETY

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

5.A battery operated tool with inte- gral 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.

6.Use battery operated tool only with specifically designated bat- tery pack. Use of any other batteries may create a risk of fire.

7.Stay alert, watch what you are do- ing, and use common sense when operating a power tool. Do not use tool while tired or under the in- fluence of drugs, alcohol, or medi- cation. A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.

8.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.

9.Avoid accidental starting. Be sure switch is in the locked or off po- sition 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 accidents.

10. Remove adjusting keys or wrenches before turning the tool on. A wrench or a key that is left at- tached to a rotating part of the tool may result in personal injury.

11.Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. Proper footing and balance enable bet- ter control of the tool in unexpected situations.

12.Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection. Dust mask, nonskid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection must be used for appropriate conditions.
