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.

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.

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.
