2.10 General Power Tool Safety Instructions
Prevent unintentional starting, ensure the tool lever or trigger is in the off position before connecting to power source and/
or battery pack, picking up or carrying the tool. Carrying power tools with your finger on the lever or trigger or energizing
power tools that have the switch on invites accidents.
• Do not force the power tool.
• The correct power tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was designed.
• Disconnect the battery pack from the power tool before making any repairs, changing accessories, or storing power
tools. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.
• Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any other condi-
tion that may affect the power tool’s operation. If damaged, have the power tool repaired before use.
• Accidents are caused by poorly maintained power tools.
• Use the power tool and accessories in accordance with these instructions, taking into account the working condi-
tions and the work to be performed.
• Use of the power tool for operations different from those intended could result in a hazardous situation.
• Use power tools only with specifically designated battery packs. Use of any other battery packs may create a risk of
injury and fire.
• Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces when performing an operation where the rivet may contact hidden
wiring. Rivets contacting a “live” wire may make exposed metal parts of the power tool “live” and could give the
operator an electric shock.
• 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.
CAUTION
When not in use, place tool on its side on a stable surface where it will not cause a tripping or falling hazard. Some tools with
large battery packs will stand upright on the battery pack but may be easily knocked over.
