SAFETY RULES

READ ALL SAFETY
When using this
• 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.
• Keep cutting tools sharp and clean.
Properly maintained cutting tools with
sharp cutting edges are less likely to be
bind and are easier to control.
• Do not use tool if switch does not turn it
on or off. A tool that cannot be controlled
with the switch is dangerous and must be
repaired.
• Disconnect battery pack from tool before
making any adjustments, changing
accessories, or storing the tool. Such
preventive safety measures reduce the
risk of starting the tool accidentally.
• Store idle tools out of reach of children
and other untrained persons. Tools are
dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
• Always ensure that ventilation openings
are kept clear of debris.
• Dress Properly. Do not wear loose clothing

hair, clothing, and hands away from
moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry, or
long hair can be caught in moving parts.
• Always wear eye protection, that comply
with ANSI Z87.1.
• 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.
• Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and
balance at all times. Proper footing and
balance enable better control of the tool in
unexpected situations.
