moment of inattention while operating equipment
may result in serious personal injury.
• Use personal protective equipment. Always wear
eye protection. Protective equipment such as dust
mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing
protection used for appropriate conditions will re-
duce personal injuries.
• Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and bal-
ance at all times. This enables better control of the
equipment in unexpected situations.
• Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jew-
elry. Keep your hair, clothing, and gloves away
from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry, or long
hair can be caught in moving parts.

Equipment Use and Care

• Do not force equipment. Use the correct equip-
ment for your application. The correct equipment
will do the job better and safer on the job for which
it is designed.
• Do not use equipment if the switch does not turn
it ON and OFF. Any equipment that cannot be con-
trolled with the switch is dangerous and must be
repaired.
• Disconnect the plug from the power source and/
or the battery pack from the equipment before
making any adjustments, changing accessories,
or storing. Such preventive safety measures reduce
the risk of injury.
• Store idle equipment out of the reach of children
and do not allow persons unfamiliar with the
equipment or these instructions to operate the
equipment. Equipment can be dangerous in the
hands of untrained users.
• Maintain equipment. Check for misalignment or
binding of moving parts, missing parts, breakage
of parts and any other condition that may affect
the equipment's operation. If damaged, have the
equipment repaired before use. Many accidents are
caused by poorly maintained equipment.
• Use the equipment and accessories in accor-
dance with these instructions, taking into ac-
count the working conditions and the work to be
performed. Use of the equipment for operations
different from those intended could result in a haz-
ardous situation.
• Use only accessories that are recommended by
the manufacturer for your equipment. Accesso-
ries that may be suitable for one piece of equipment
may become hazardous when used with other
equipment.

• Keep handles dry and clean; free from oil and
grease. Allows for better control of the equipment.

Battery Tool Use And Care

• 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.
• Use equipment only with specifically designated
battery packs. Use of any other battery packs may
create a risk of injury and fire.
• Do not probe battery with conductive objects.
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 burns or a fire.
• Under abusive conditions, liquid may be eject-
ed from the battery; avoid contact. If contact
acciden t ally occurs, flush with water. If liquid
contacts eyes, additionally seek medical help.
Liquid ejected from the battery may cause irritation
or burns.
• Use and store batteries and chargers in dry, ap-
propriate temperature areas. Extreme tempera-
tures and moisture can damage batteries and result
in leakage, electrical shock, fire or burns. See charger
manual for more information.
• Do not cover charger while in use. Proper venti-
lation is required for correct operation. Covering
charger in use could result in fire.
• Properly dispose of batteries. Expo sure to high
temperatures can cause the batteries to explode,
so do not dispose of in a fire. Some countries have
regulations concerning battery disposal. Please fol-
low all applicable regulations.
