locked or off position before making any adjustments,
changing accessories, or storing the tool. Such preventative
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.
• 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 sparks,
burns, or a fire.
• Maintain tools with care. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean.
Properly maintained tools, with sharp cutting edges are less likely
to bind and are easier to control.
• Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage
of parts, and any other condition that may affect the tools
operation. If damaged, have the tool serviced before using. Many
accidents are caused by poorly maintained tools.
• Use only accessories that are recommended by the
manufacturer for your model. Accessories that may be suitable
for one tool, may create a risk of injury when used on another tool.
SERVICE
• Tool service must be performed only by qualified repair
personnel. Service or maintenance performed by unqualified
personnel may result in a risk of injury.
• When servicing a tool, use only identical replacement parts.
Follow instructions in the Maintenance section of this manual.
Use of unauthorized parts or failure to follow Maintenance
Instructions may create a risk of shock or injury.
Additional Safety Rules
• Hold tool by insulated gripping surfaces when performing an
operation where the tool may contact hidden wiring. Contact
with a "live" wire will also make exposed metal parts of the tool
"live" and shock the operator.
CAUTION: Wear appropriate personal hearing protection during
use. Under some conditions and duration of use, noise from this
product may contribute to hearing loss.
CAUTION: Some tools with large battery packs will stand upright
on the battery pack but may be easily knocked over. When not in use,
place tool on its side on a stable surface where it will not cause a
tripping or falling hazard.

WARNING: Some dust created by power sanding, sawing,
grinding, drilling, and other construction activities contains chemicals
known to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm.
Some examples of these chemicals are:
• lead from lead-based paints,
• crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry
products, and
• arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated lumber (CCA).
Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how often you
do this type of work. To reduce your exposure to these chemicals:
work in a well ventilated area, and work with approved safety
equipment, such as those dust masks that are specially designed to
filter out microscopic particles.
