	GENERAL SAFETY RULES

WARNING:

Read and understand all instructions. Failure to follow all instructions listed below, can result in electric shock, fire and/or serious personal injury.

Personal Safety

■Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use com- mon sense when operating a power tool. Do not use tool while tired or under the influence of drugs, al- cohol, or medication. A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious personal in- jury.

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 liq- uids, 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

■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.

■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 only with charger listed.

■Use battery operated tool only with specifically designated battery pack. Use of any other batteries may create a risk of fire. Use only with battery pack listed.

■Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jew- elry. Contain long hair. Keep your hair, clothing, and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jew- elry, or long hair can be caught in moving parts.

■Avoid accidental starting. Be sure switch is in the locked or off position 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.

■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. Do not use on a ladder or unstable support.

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