• Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or
dark areas invite accidents.
• Do not operate power tools in explosive atmo-
spheres, such as in the presence of flammable
liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks
which may ignite the dust or fumes.
• Do not operate power tool in an area where it
could contact electrical wiring or an electri-
cally charged object. Contact with a “live” wire
or object will make exposed metal parts of the
tool “live” and shock the operator.
• Do not operate power tool near moving ma-
chinery. The cable can be tangled in moving parts,
pulling in the power tool and your hands and arms.
• Do not use near any heat sources such as ra-
diators, heat registers, stoves, or other apparatus
(including amplifiers) that produce heat.
• Keep children and bystanders away while
operating a power tool. Distractions can cause
you to lose control.
• Do not expose power tools to rain or wet condi-
tions. Water entering a power tool will increase
the risk of electric shock. Dry hands before turning
tool on or off and before removing or installing the
battery pack.

• Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits
etc., in accordance with these instructions,
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. Only use
accessories specifically recommended for this
tool. Others may be hazardous.
• Clean only with dry cloth. Certain cleaning agents
and solvents are harmful to plastics and other
insulated parts. Some of these include: gasoline,
turpentine, lacquer thinner, paint thinner, chlori-
nated cleaning solvents, ammonia and household
detergents containing ammonia. Clean dust and
debris from vents. Keep the apparatus handle
clean, dry and free of oil or grease.
• Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use
common sense when operating a power tool. Do
not use a power tool while you are tired or under
the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A
moment of inattention while operating power tools
may result in serious personal injury.
• Use personal protective equipment. Always
wear eye protection. Protective equipment such
as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or
hearing protection used for appropriate conditions
