Use and Care Manual
5) BATTERY TOOL USE AND CARE
a)  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.
b)  Use power tools only with specifically designated battery 
packs.  Use of any other battery packs may create a risk of 
injury and fire.
c)  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.
d)  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.
6) SERVICE
a)  Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair 
person using only identical replacement parts.  This will 
ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.
Additional Safety Rules 
•  Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces, when 
performing an operation where the fastener may contact 
hidden wiring. Fasteners contacting a “live” wire may make 
exposed metal parts of the power tool “live” and could give the 
operator an electric shock.
•  Air vents often cover moving parts and should be avoided. 
Loose clothes, jewelry or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
 WARNING:  ALWAYS  use safety glasses. Everyday eyeglasses are 
NOT safety glasses. Also use face or dust mask if cutting operation is 
dusty. ALWAYS WEAR CERTIFIED SAFETY EQUIPMENT:
•  ANSI Z87.1 eye protection (CAN/CSA Z94.3),
•  ANSI S12.6 (S3.19) hearing protection,
•  NIOSH/OSHA/MSHA respiratory protection.
 WARNING:  Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, 
grinding, drilling, and other construction activities contains chemicals 
known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects or other 
reproductive harm. Some examples of these chemicals are:
•  lead from lead-based paints,
• crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry 
products, and 
•  arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated lumber.
Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how often you 
do this type of work. To reduce your exposure to these chemicals: 
work in a well ventilated area, and work with approved safety 
equipment, such as those dust masks that are specially designed to 
filter out microscopic particles.
•  Avoid prolonged contact with dust from power sanding, 
sawing, grinding, drilling, and other construction activities. 
Wear protective clothing and wash exposed areas with 
soap and water. Allowing dust to get into your mouth, eyes, or 
lay on the skin may promote absorption of harmful chemicals. 
 WARNING:  Use of this tool can generate and/or disperse dust, 
which may cause serious and permanent respiratory or other 
injury. Always use NIOSH/OSHA approved respiratory protection 
appropriate for the dust exposure. Direct particles away from face 
and body.
