SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
1) WORK AREA SAFETY
• Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
• Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres,
such as in the presence of flare=
mable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
• Keep children
and bystanders
away while operating
a power tool. Distractions can
cause you to lose control.
2) ELECTRICAL
SAFETY
a) 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:
b) Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces
such as pipes, radiators,
ranges and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is
earthed or grounded.
c) Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions.
Water entering a power tool
will increase the risk of electric shock.
d) 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.
e) When operating a power tool outdoors,
use an extension
cord suitable
for out-
door use. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock:
f) If operating
a power tool in a damp location
is unavoidable, use a ground fault cir=
cult interrupter (GFCl) protected supply.
Use of a GFCI reduces the risk of electric shock:
3) PERSONAL
SAFETY
a) Stay alert, watch what you are doing 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, alcohol
or medication.
A moment of inattention while operating power tools
may result in serious personal injury.
b) Use personal
protective
equipment.
Always wear eye protection.
Protective
equipment such as dust mask, nonskid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection
used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.
c) Prevent
unintentional
starting.
Ensure the switch
is in the off position
before
connecting
to power source and/or
battery pack, picking
up or carrying
the tool.
Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or energizing power tools that have
the switch on invites accidents.
d) Remove any adjusting
key or wrench before turning
the power tool on. A wrench
or a key left attached to a rotating part of the power tool may result in personal injury.
e) Do not overreach.
Keep proper footing
and balance at all times.
This enables
better control of the power tool in unexpected
situations.
f) Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing
or jewelry.
Keep your hair, cloth-
ing and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry or long hair can be
caught in moving parts.
g) If devices are provided for the connection
of dust extraction
and collection
facilities,
ensure these are connected
and properly used. Use of dust collection can
reduce dust-related hazards.
4) POWER TOOL USE AND CARE
a) Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for your application.
The
correct power tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was designed.
b) Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it on and off. Anypower
tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
c) Disconnect
the plug from the power source and/or the battery pack from the
power tool before making any adjustments,
changing
accessories,
or storing
power tools. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the power
tool accidentally.
d) Store idle power tools out of the reach of children
and do not allow persons
unfamiliar
with the power tool or these instructions to operate the power tool.
Power tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
e) Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment
or binding
of moving parts,
breakage
of parts and any other condition that may affect the power tool's
opera=
tion. If damaged,
have the power tool repaired
before use. Many accidents are
caused by poorly maintained power tools.
f) Keep cutting
tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp
cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control
g) Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits, etc. in accordance with these instruc=
tions, taking into account the working conditions
and the work to be performed. Use of
the power tool for operations different from those intended could result in a hazardous situation.
5) BATTERY TOOL USE AND CARE
a) Recharge only with the charger
specified
by the manufacturer.
A charger that is
suitable for one type of battery pack may create a risk of fire when used with another
battery pack:
b) Use power tools only with specifically designated
battery
packs. Use of any
other battery packs may create a risk of injury and fire.
c) 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 terminals
together may cause bums or a fire.
d) Under abusive
conditions,
liquid may be ejected from the battery, avoid contact.
If contact accidentally
occurs, flush with water. If liquid contacts
eyes, addition-
ally seek medical
help. Liquid ejected from the battery may cause irritation or burns.
6) SERVICE
a) 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.
SPECIFIC
SAFETY
RULES
• Wear ear protectors with impact drills. Exposure to noise can cause hearing loss.
• Use auxiliary
handles supplied with the tool. Loss of control can cause personal injury.
• Hold power tool by insulated gripping
surfaces,
when performing an operation
where the cutting
accessory
may contact
hidden wiring.
Cutting accessory contacting
a "live" wire may make exposed metal parts of the power tool "live" and could give the
operator an electric shock.
• When working
on a ladder or on scaffolding
be sure to lay the tool down on its side
when not in use. Some tools with large battery packs will stand upright but may be easily
knocked over.
• Use clamps or another practical way to secure and support
the work piece to a
stable platform. Holding the work by hand or against your body leaves it unstable and
may lead to loss of control.
• Keep your hair, clothing,
and gloves away from air vents. Air vents often cover moving
parts in which these items can be caught.
• Hold tool firmly with two hands. Use auxiliary handle if provided.
If auxiliary handle not
provided, grip toot at bottom of handle. Loss of control can cause personal injury.
Z_WARNING:
Some dust created by power sanding,
sawing,
grinding, drilling,
and
other construction
activities
contains
chemicals
known to the State of
California
to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive
harm. Some exam=
pies of these chemicals
are:
• lead from lead-based
paints,
• crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry products, and
• arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated
lumber.
Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how often you do this type of
work. To reduce your exposure to these chemicals: work in a well ventilated area, and
work with approved safety equipment, such as those dust masks that are specially
designed to filter out microscopic particles.
• Avoid prolonged contact with dust from power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling,
and other construction
activities.
Wear protective clothing
and wash exposed areas
with soap and water. Allowing dust to get into your mouth, eyes, or lay on the skin may
promote absorption of harmful chemicals.
Z_WARNING:
Use of this tool can generate
and/or disperse
dust, which may cause
serious and permanent respiratory
or other injury. Always use NIOSH/OSHA approved
respiratory protection appropriate for the dust exposure. Direct particles away from face
and body.

Z_WARNING:
Do not store or carry battery so that metal objects can contact exposed
battery terminals. For example, do not place battery in aprons, pockets, tool boxes,
product kit boxes, drawers, etc. with loose nails, screws, keys, etc. without battery cap.
Transporting batteries can possibly cause fires if the battery terminals inadvertently come
in contact with conductive materials such as keys, coins, hand tools and the like. The US
Department of Transportation
Hazardous Material Regulations (HMR) actually prohibit
transporting
batteries in commerce or on airplanes (i.e. packed in suitcases and carryon
luggage) UNLESS they are properly protected from short circuits. So when transporting
individual batteries, make sure that the battery terminals are protected and welt insulated
from materials that could contact them and cause a short circuit.
