Work Area Safety

• Keep work area clean and well lit.
Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents
• Use extra care when cleaning on stairs.
• Do not operate power tools in explosive
atmospheres, such as in the presence of
flammable 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 (Fig. 1). Distractions
can cause you to lose control
FIG. 1
CAUTION: Establish a bystander safety
zone of 16 ft (5 m) prior to operation of
this equipment. Bystander safety zone is
a 16 ft (5 m) circle around the operator that
must remain free from bystanders, children
and pets

Electrical Safety

• Charger plugs must match the outlet.
Never modify the plug in any way.
Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will
reduce risk of electric shock
• Do not expose the charger to rain or wet
conditions. Water entering the charger will
increase the risk of electric shock
• Do not charge outdoors.
• Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord
for carrying, pulling or unplugging the
charger. Keep cord away from heat, oil,
sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged or
entangled cords increase the risk of electric
shock
• Do not use with a damaged cord or plug.
If the battery charger is not working as it
should, has been dropped, damaged, left
outdoors, or dropped into water, return it to a
service center

Important Safety Instructions

Personal Safety

• 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
• 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
• Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing
or jewelry. Keep your hair, clothing and
gloves away from moving parts. Loose
clothes, jewelry or long hair can be caught in
moving parts

Power Tool Use and Care

• 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
• Do not use the power tool if the variable
trigger 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 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
• 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
