BACK TO
INDEX
1 Hold tool by insulated gripping surfaces when performing an operation where the cutting tool may contact hidden wiring. Contact with a “live”
wire will also make exposed metal parts of the tool “live” and shock the operator.
2 Know your power tool. Read operator’s manual carefully. Learn its applications and limitations, as well as the specific potential hazards related to this tool.
Following this rule will reduce the risk of electric shock, fire, or serious injury.
3 Always wear safety glasses with side shields. Everyday glasses have only impact resistant lenses. They are NOT safety glasses. Following this rule will
reduce the risk of eye injury.
4 Protect your lungs. Wear a face or dust mask if the operation is dusty. Following this rule will reduce the risk of serious personal injury.
5 Protect your hearing. Wear hearing protection during extended periods of operation. Following this rule will reduce the risk
of serious personal injury.
6 Battery tools do not have to be plugged into an electrical outlet; therefore, they are always in operating condition. Be aware of possible hazards when
not using your battery tool or when changing accessories. Following this rule will reduce the risk of electric shock, fire, or serious personal injury.
7 Do not place battery tools or their batteries near fire or heat. This will reduce the risk of explosion and possibly injury.
8 Never use a battery that has been dropped or received a sharp blow. A damaged battery is subject to explosion. Properly dispose of a dropped or
damaged battery immediately.
9 Do not charge battery tool in a damp or wet location. Following this rule will reduce the risk of electric shock.
10 For best results, your battery tool should be charged in a location where the temperature is more than 50°F but less than 100°F. Do not store
outside or in vehicles.
11 Under extreme usage or temperature conditions, battery leakage may occur. If liquid comes in contact with your skin, wash immediately with
soap and water, then neutralize with lemon juice or vinegar. If liquid gets into your eyes, flush them with clean water for at least 10 minutes,
then seek immediate medical attention. Following this rule will reduce the risk of serious personal injury.
