Disconnect the plug from the power
source and/or remove the battery pack,
if detachable, from the power tool before
making any adjustments, changing
accessories, or storing power tools.
Such preventive safety measures reduce the
risk of starting the power tool accidentally.
d.
Store idle power tools out of the reach of
children and do not allow persons unfamiliar
with the power tool or these instructions
to operate the power tool.
Power tools are
dangerous in the hands of untrained users.

Maintain power tools and accessories.
Check for misalignment or binding of
moving parts, breakage of parts and any
other condition that may affect the power
tool’s operation. If damaged, have the power
tool repaired before use.
Many accidents

taking into account the working conditions
and the work to be performed.
Use of the
power tool for operations different from those
intended could result in a hazardous situation.

Battery tool use and care
a.
Prevent unintentional starting.
Ensure the
switch is in the off-position before connecting
to battery pack, picking up or carrying the
power tool. Carrying the power tool with your
finger on the switch or energizing power tool

changing accessories, or storing power
tool.
Such preventive safety measures reduce
the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.
c.
Recharge only with the charger specified by
the manufacturer.
A charger that is suitable
for one type of battery pack may create a risk
of fire when used with another battery pack.
d.
Use power tools only with specifically
designated battery packs.
Use of any other
battery packs may create a risk of injury and fire.
e.
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 burns or a fire.
f.
Under abusive conditions, liquid may be
ejected from the battery; avoid contact.
If contact accidentally occurs, flush with
water. If liquid contacts eyes, additionally
seek medical help. Liquid ejected from the
battery may cause irritation or burns.
g.
Do not use a battery pack or power tool that
is damaged or modified.
Damaged or modified
batteries may exhibit unpredictable behavior
resulting in fire, explosion or risk of injury.
h.
Do not expose a battery pack or power
tool to fire or excessive temperature.
Exposure to fire or temperature above
265°F may cause explosion.
i.
Follow all charging instructions and do
not charge the battery pack or power tool
outside of the temperature range specified
in the instructions.
Charging improperly or at
temperatures outside of the specified range may
damage the battery and increase the risk of fire.

The battery Charger gets hot during
use. The Charger’s heat can build
up to unsafe levels and create a fire
hazard if it does not receive
adequate ventilation, due to an electrical fault, or
if it is used in a hot environment. Do not place
the Charger on a flammable surface. Do not
obstruct any vents on the Charger.
Especially avoid placing the Charger on
carpets and rugs; they are not only
flammable, but they also obstruct vents
under the Charger.
Place the Charger on a
stable, solid, nonflammable surface (such as a
stable metal workbench or concrete floor) at
