SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
WORK AREA
1.Keep your work area clean and well lit. Cluttered benches and dark areas invite accidents.
2.Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, 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.

2.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.
3.Use battery operated tool only with specifically designated battery pack. Use of any other batteries may create a risk of fire.
PERSONAL SAFETY
1.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.
