• Stop using any tool if discomfort, tingling feeling or pain occurs. Vibration, repetitive motions or uncomfortable positions may be
harmful to your hands and arms. Power tools can vibrate in use. Seek medical advice before resuming use.
• The vibration emission during actual use of power tool can differ from the declared value depending on the ways in which the tool is
used. Take appropriate safety measure to protect the operator, based on an estimation of exposure during actual usage.
• Avoid contact with moving parts of tool. Tool and/or accessories may briefly continue their motion after power is removed creating a risk
of entanglement or other personal injury.
• Use clamps or other practical way to secure and support the workpiece to a stable platform. Holding the work by hand or against your
body is unstable and may lead to loss of control.
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 is designed.
• Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it on or off. Any power tool that cannot be controlled by the switch is dangerous
and must be repaired.
• Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or remove the battery pack, if detachable, from the power tool before making
any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing the power tool. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the 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. 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 tools operation. If damaged, have the power tool serviced before using. Many accidents are
caused by poorly maintained power tools.
• Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
Keep handles clean and dry to maintain control.
• Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc., in accordance with these instructions and in the manner intended for the
particular type of power tool, taking into account the working conditions and the work to be performed. Use of the power tool for
operations different from intended could result in a hazardous situation.
• 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.
• When wearing gloves always be sure that the gloves will not prevent the throttle mechanism from being released. Personal injury
may result.
• Do not remove any labels. Replace any damaged label. Labels provide information required for safe use of the product.
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 pack. Use of any other battery pack 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 accidently 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 exhibit unpredictable behavior
resulting in fire, explosion or risk of injury.
• Do not expose a battery pack or tool to fire or excessive temperature. Exposure to fire or temperature above 130° C (265° F) may cause
explosion.
• Follow all charging instructions and do not charge the battery pack or tool outside the temperature range specified in the
instructions. Charging improperly or at temperatures outside the specified range may damage the battery and increase the risk of fire.
• Ensure switch is in the off position before inserting battery pack. Inserting the battery pack into power tool with the switch on invites
accidents.
• Disconnect battery pack from tool or place the switch in a locked off position before making any adjustments or changing
accessories. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the tool accidentally.
• Electric tools will overheat if they remain on when the tool motor is severely loaded, stalled or otherwise kept from rotating. Turn
tool off when this occurs. Continuing to power tool in this condition may result in heat, smoke or fire with injury or property damage.
• Disconnect battery pack from tool before storing tool or placing in a tool box or bag. Accidental starting while storing or
transporting may cause several hazardous conditions including an overheated tool. Uncontrolled tool operation may cause various
hazards including heat, smoke or fire.
• Do not block the housing cooling air holes as this may cause overheating of the tool. Use of the tool in this condition may result in heat,
smoke or fire with injury or property damage.
• The tool may overheat during continuous use or other severe duty cycles. Immediately stop operation and let the tool cool if any
part of the tool becomes too hot to touch or if there is any indication of smoke from the motor. Continuing to use the tool under these
conditions will cause tool damage and may result in injury or property damage from heat or fire.
• Immediately stop use and replace any battery that gets excessively warm in use or offers very short usage times. Typically these
batteries have a high number of charge/discharge cycles or may be old or damaged. Continuing to use an impaired battery may result in
injury or property damage from heat, fire or explosion.
• Do not modify this tool, safety devices, or accessories. Unauthorized modifications may result in electric shock, fire or personal injury.
• Use only accessories that are recommended by Ingersoll Rand for your model. Accessories that may be suitable for one tool, may
become hazardous when used on another tool.
• Do not remove any labels. Replace any damaged label. Labels provide information required for safe use of the product.
