Work Area
Work Area
 1) Keep your work area clean and well 
lit.
  Cluttered benches and dark areas 
invite accidents.
 2) Do not operate power tools in 
explosive atmospheres, such as in 
the presence of flammable liquids, 
gases, or dust. 
  Power tools create sparks which may 
ignite the dust or fumes.
 3) Keep bystanders, children, and visi-
tors away while operating a power 
tool. 
  Distractions can cause you to lose 
control. Make sure that no one is 
beneath, or on the other side of the 
area when you are working.

 4) A battery operated tool with integral 
batteries or a separate battery pack 
must be recharged only with the 
specified charger for the battery.
  A charger that may be suitable for one 
type of battery may create a risk of fire 
when used with another battery.
 5) Use battery operated tool only with 
specifically designated battery pack. 
  Use of any other batteries may create 
a risk of fire.
Personal Safety
Personal Safety
 6) Stay alert, watch what you are 
doing, and use common sense 
when operating a power tool. Do 
not use tool while tired or under the 
influence of drugs, alcohol, or medi-
cation.
  A moment of inattention while operating 
power tools may result in serious per-
sonal injury.
 7) Dress properly. Do not wear loose 
clothing or jewelry. Contain long hair.
   Keep your hair, clothing, and gloves 
away from moving parts.
  Loose clothes, jewelry, or long hair can 
be caught in moving parts.
 8) Avoid accidental starting. Be sure 
switch is in the locked or off position 
before inserting battery pack. 
  Carrying tools with your finger on the 
switch or inserting the battery pack into 
a tool with the switch on invites acci-
dents.
 9) Remove adjusting keys or wrenches 
before turning the tool on. 
  A wrench or a key that is left attached to 
a rotating part of the tool may result in 
personal injury.
 10) Do not overreach. Keep proper foot-
ing and balance at all times. 
  Proper footing and balance enable 
better control of the tool in unexpected 
situations.
 11) Use safety equipment. Always wear 
eye protection. 
  Dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard 
hat, or hearing protection must be used 
for appropriate conditions.

 12) 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.
 13) Do not force tool. Use the correct 
tool for your application. 
  The correct tool will do the job bet-
ter and safer at the rate for which it is 
designed.
 14) Do not use tool if switch does not 
turn it on or off. 
  A tool that cannot be controlled with 
the switch is dangerous and must be 
repaired.
 15) Disconnect battery pack from tool or 
place the switch in the locked or off 
position before making any adjust-
ments, changing accessories, or 
storing the tool.
