SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
Work Area
Keep your work area clean and well lit.
Cluttered benches and dark areas invite
accidents.
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 bystanders, children, and visitors
away while operating a power tool.
Distractions can cause you to lose control.
Electrical Safety
Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord
to carry the tool. Keep cord away from heat,
oil, sharp edges, or moving parts. Replace
damaged cords immediately. Damaged
cords may create a fire.
Applies only to tools with a separable battery
pack.
A battery operated tool with integral
batteries or a separate battery pack must be
recharged only with the specified charger
for the battery. A charger that may be suitable
for one type of battery may create a risk of fire
when used with another battery.
Use battery operated tool only with
specifically designated battery pack. Use of
any other batteries may create a risk of fire.
Personal Safety
Stay alert, watch what you are doing, and
use common sense when operating a power
tool. Do not use tool while tired or under the
influence of drugs, alcohol, or medication. A
moment of inattention while operating power
tools may result in serious personal injury.
Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing
or jewelry. Contain long hair. Keep your hair,
clothing, and gloves away from moving
parts. Loose clothes, jewelry, or long hair can
be caught in moving parts.
Avoid accidental starting. Be sure switch is
in the locked or off position before inserting

on the switch or inserting the battery pack into
a tool with the switch on invites accidents.
