Power Tool Use And Care; Battery Tool Use And Care - RIDGID K-4310 FXP Manual

mon 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
mo ment of inattention while operating power tools 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 reduce
personal injuries.
• 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.
• Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turn-
ing the power tool ON. A wrench or a key left at-
tached to a rotating part of the power tool may result
in personal injury.
• Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance
at all times. This enables better control of the power
tool in unexpected situations.
• Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or
jewelry. Keep your hair, and clothing away from
moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry, or long hair can
be caught in moving parts.
• 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.
• 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.

Power Tool Use and Care

• Do not force 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 is designed.
• Do not use 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.
• Disconnect the plug from the power source and/
or the battery pack, if detachable, from the power
tool before making any adjustments, changing ac-
cessories, or storing power tools. Such preventive
safety measures reduce the risk of starting the power
tool accidentally.

• 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 tool.
Power tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained
users.
• 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 op er ation. If damaged, have the power
tool repaired before use. Many accidents are caused
by poorly maintained power tools.
• Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly main-
tained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less
likely to bind and are easier to control.
• 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
control of the tool in unexpected situations.
• 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. The use of the power tool for operations
different from those intended could result in a hazard-
ous situation.

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 power tools only with specifically designated
battery packs. Use of any other battery packs may
create a risk of injury and fire.
• 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 ejected
from the battery; avoid contact. If contact acci-
dentally occurs, flush with water. If liquid contacts
eyes, additionally seek medical help. Liquid ejected
from the battery may cause irritation or burns.
• Do not use a battery pack or tool that is damaged
or modified. Damaged or modified batteries may ex-
hibit unpredictable behavior resulting in fire, explosion
or risk of injury.
• Do not expose a battery pack or tool to fire or ex-
