General Safety Information

WARNING! Read and understand all instructions. Failure
to follow all instructions listed below may
result in electric shock, fire, and/or serious
personal injury.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS!

Work Area Safety

• Keep your work area clean and well lit. Cluttered
benches and dark areas may cause accidents.
• Do not operate power tools in explosive atmo-
spheres, 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 tool. Distractions can cause you
to lose control.
• Do not let visitors contact the tool or extension
cord. Such preventative measures reduce the risk
of injury.

Electrical Safety

• Grounded tools must be plugged into an outlet,
properly installed and grounded in accordance with
all codes and ordinances. Never remove the ground-
ing prong or modify the plug in any way. Do not use
any adapter plugs. Check with a qualified electrician
if you are in doubt as to whether the outlet is prop-
erly grounded. If the tool should electrically malfunction
or break down, grounding provides a low resistance
path to carry electricity away from the user.
Grounding pin
• Avoid body contact with grounded surfaces such
as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There
is an increased risk of electrical shock if your body is
grounded.
• Do not expose electrical tools to rain or wet con-
ditions. Water entering a tool will increase the risk of
electrical shock.
• Do not abuse cord. Never use the cord to carry the
tool or pull the plug from an outlet. Keep cord
away from heat, oil, sharp edges, or moving parts.
Replace damaged cords immediately. Damaged
cords increase the risk of electrical shock.

• When operating a power tool outside, use an out-
door extension cord marked "W-A" or "W". These
cords are rated for outdoor use and reduce the risk of
electrical shock.
• Connect the tool to an AC power supply that
matches the name plate specification. Incorrect
voltage supply can cause electrical shock or burns.
• Use only three-wire extension cords which have
three-prong grounding plugs, and three-pole re-
ceptacles which accept the tools plug. Use of other
extension cords will not ground the tool properly and in-
crease the risk of electrical shock.
• Use proper extension cords. (See chart.) Insufficient
conductor size will cause excessive voltage drop and
loss of power.

• Keep all electrical connections dry and off the
ground. Do not touch plugs or tool with wet hands.
This reduces the risk of electrical shock.

Battery Precautions

• Use only the size and type of battery specified.
• Be sure to install the battery with the correct po-
larity as indicated in the battery compartment.
• Recharge batteries with charging units specified by
the battery manufacturer. Using an improper charger
can overheat and rupture the battery.
• Properly dispose of the battery. Exposure to high
temperatures can cause the battery to explode,
so do not dispose of in a fire. Some countries have
regulations concerning battery disposal. Please fol-
low all applicable regulations.

Personal Safety

• Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use com-
mon sense when operating a power tool. Do not
use tool while tired or under the influence of drugs,
alcohol, or medications. A moment of inattention
while operating power tools may result in serious per-
sonal injury.
• Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jew-
elry. Contain long hair. Keep your hair, clothing, and
