General Power Tool Safety Warnings
and properly used. Use of dust collec-
tion can reduce dust-related hazards.
h. Do not let familiarity gained from
frequent use of tools allow you to
become complacent and ignore tool
safety principles. A careless action can
cause severe injury within a fraction of
a second.
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. Any power
tool that cannot be controlled with
the switch is dangerous and must be
repaired.
c. Disconnect the plug from the power
source and/or remove the battery pack,
if detachable, from the power tool
before making any adjustments, chang-
ing accessories, or storing power tools.
Such preventive safety measures reduce
the risk of starting the power tool ac-
cidentally.
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 and accessories.
Check for misalignment or binding of
moving parts, breakage of parts and
any other condition that may affect the
power tool's operation. 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
instructions, 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.

h. Keep handles and grasping surfaces
dry, clean and free from oil and grease.
Slippery handles and grasping surfaces
do not allow for safe handling and con-
trol of the tool in unexpected situations.
5. Battery tool use and care
a. Recharge only with the charger speci-
fied 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 termi-
nals together may cause burns 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,
additionally seek medical help. Liquid
ejected from the battery may cause ir-
ritation or burns.
e. Do not use a battery pack or tool that
is damaged or modified. Damaged or
modified batteries may exhibit unpre-
dictable behavior resulting in fire, explo-
sion or risk of injury.
f. Do not expose a battery pack or tool to
fire or excessive temperature. Exposure
to fire or temperature above 265 °F may
cause explosion.
g. Follow all charging instructions and do
not charge the battery pack or tool out-
side the temperature range specified
in the instructions. Charging improperly
or at temperatures outside the specified
range may damage the battery and
increase the risk of fire.
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.
