4.2. Electrical safety
a.
Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any
way. Do not use any adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power
tools. Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will reduce the risk of electric
shock.
b.
Avoid body contact with grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators,
stoves, and refrigerators. If your body is in direct contact with the ground,
you are at an increased risk of electric shock.
c.
Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a
power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
d.
Refrain from misusing the cord. Never use it for carrying, pulling, or
unplugging the power tool. Keep the cord away from heat, oil, sharp
edges, or moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of
electric shock.
e.
When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord suit-
able for outdoor use. It reduces the risk of electric shock.
f.
If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a
ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) protected supply. GFCIs reduce
the risk of electric shock.
4.3. Personal Safety
a.
Stay alert, watch your actions, and use common sense when operat-
ing 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.
b.
Wear personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection.
Protective equipment such as dust masks, non-skid safety shoes, hard hats,
and hearing protection for appropriate conditions will reduce personal inju-
ries.
c.
Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the tool switch is off before
connecting it to a power source and/or a battery, picking it up, or
carrying it. Carrying power tools with your finger on the on/off switch or
carrying power tools with the switch on invites accidents.
d.
Remove any adjusting tool (wrench, screwdriver, etc.) before turning
the power tool on. A wrench or an adjustment wrench connected to a rotat-
ing part of the power tool may cause personal injury.
e.
Refrain from overreaching. Keep proper footing and balance at all
times. It enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations.
f.
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.
g.
If dust extraction and collection devices are provided, ensure they
are correctly connected and used. Using a dust collection device can re-
duce dust-related hazards.
4.4. Power tool use and care
a.
Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for your appli-
cations. The correct power tool will do the job better and more safely at the
rate for which it was designed.
b.
Do not use the power tool if the on/off switch is defective. Any power
tool that a switch cannot control is dangerous and must be repaired.
c.
Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or the battery from
the power tool before making any adjustments, changing accesso-
ries, or storing power tools. Such preventive safety measures reduce the
risk of starting the power tool accidentally.
d.
Store power tools out of children's reach and do not allow anyone
unfamiliar with the power tool or these instructions to operate them.
Power tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
e.
Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, broken parts,
and any other condition affecting the power tool's operation. If dam-
aged, have the power tool repaired before use. Poorly maintained pow-
er tools cause many accidents.
f.
Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools
with sharp edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.

g.
Use the power tool, accessories, tool bits, etc., according to these
instructions, considering the working conditions and the work to
be performed. Using power tools for operations other than those intended
could result in a hazardous situation.
4.5. Battery tool use and care
a.
Recharge only with the charger specified by the manufacturer. A
charger suitable for one type of battery may pose risks of fire when used in
another.
b.
Use power tools only with specifically designated batterys. Using any
other batterys may pose risks of injury and fire.
c.
When the battery 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. A short cir-
cuit on the battery terminals may cause burns or a fire.
d.
Liquid may leak from the battery; avoid contact under harsh condi-
tions. If contact accidentally occurs, flush with water. If liquid con-
tacts the eyes, seek medical help. Liquid leaking from the battery may
cause irritation or burns.
e.
Do not use a battery or appliance that is damaged or modified. Dam-
aged or modified batteries may have unpredictable behavior, result-
ing in fire, explosion, or risk of injury.
f.
Do not expose a battery or appliance to fire or excessive tempera-
tures. Exposure to fire or temperatures above 60°C may cause ex-
plosions.
4.6. Service
a.
Have a qualified repair person service your power tool using only
identical replacement parts. It will ensure its safety.

6. Important Safety Instructions for Battery Chargers
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS: This manual contains important safety instructions
for battery chargers. Before using the charger, read all instructions on the char-
ger, the battery, and the product using the battery.
WARNING!
Shock hazard. Do not allow any liquid to get inside the charger.
CAUTION!
•
Burn hazard. Only charge JACTO batteries designed
for your tool to reduce the risk of injuries. Other
types of batteries may burst, causing personal injury
and damage.
•
Under certain conditions, the charger can be shorted
by foreign material when plugged into the power
supply. Foreign materials of a conductive nature,
such as steel wool, aluminum foil, or any buildup of
metallic particles, should be kept away from charger
contacts. Always unplug the charger from the power
supply when the battery is not charging.
