GENERAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
       
WARNING! 
Read and understand all instructions. Failure 
to follow all instructions listed below may 
result in electric shock, fire and/or serious 
personal injury:
■ Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered 
or dark areas invite accidents.
■ Do not operate cordless power tools in 
explosive atmospheres, such as in the 
presence of flammable liquids, gases, or 
dust. Cordless power tools create sparks 
which may ignite the dust or fumes.
■ Do not operate in poor lighting.
■ Avoid Dangerous Environment - Don’t use 
appliances in damp or wet locations. Don’t 
Use In Rain.
■ Keep Children Away - All visitors should be 
kept at a distance from work area.  
■ Do not allow to be used as a toy. Close 
attention is necessary when used by or near 
children.
■ Do not expose cordless power tools to rain 
or wet conditions. Do not handle plug or tool 
with wet hands. Water entering the tool will 
increase the risk of electric shock.
■ Do not charge battery in rain, or damp or 
wet location. Following this rule will reduce 
the risk of electric shock.
■ Do not abuse the charger cord. Never use 
the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging. 
Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges 
or moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords 
increase the risk of electric shock. If charger 
cord is damaged, replace the charger with 
an identical model as listed in the Product 
Specifications in this manual.
■ Stay Alert - Watch what you are doing. 
Use common sense. Do not operate tools 
when you are tired or under the influence of 
drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of 
inattention while operating tools may result in 
serious personal injury.
■ Use personal protective equipment. Always 
wear eye protection. Protective equipment 
such as dusk mask, non-skid safety shoes, 
hard hat, or hearing protection used for 
appropriate conditions will reduce personal 
injuries. Secure long hair above shoulder 
level to prevent entanglement in moving 
parts.
■ Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure 
switch is in the off-position before installing 
battery pack, picking up or carrying the tool. 
Carrying cordless power tools with your 
finger on the switch or energizing cordless 
power tools that have the switch on invites 
accidents.
■ Do not overreach. Keep proper footing 
and balance at all times. This enables better 
control of the tool in unexpected situations. 
Operate the tool only when standing on fixed, 
secure and level surface. Slippery or unstable 
surfaces such as ladders may cause a loss of 
balance or control of the product.
■ Dress Properly - Do not wear loose clothing 
or jewelry. They can be caught in moving 
parts. Use of rubber gloves and substantial 
footwear is recommended when working 
outdoors. Wear protective hair covering to 
contain long hair.
■ Wear heavy, long pants, long sleeves, 
boots, and gloves. Do not wear loose fitting 
clothing, shorts pants, sandals or similar 
lightweight footwear or go barefoot.
■ Keep all parts of your body away from any 
moving parts and all hot surfaces of the unit.
