READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS
BEFORE USE
WORK AREA SAFETY
•Do not use in the presence of explosive dust, liquids
or vapors. Power tools have motors and other parts
that can produce sparks during normal use. Do not
use within 30 feet of areas where explosive materials
may be present (such as gasoline pumps and places
where liquids like paint thinners, cleaners, solvents,
etc. are stored).
• Do not use where oxygen or anesthetics are used.
• Do not allow to be used as a toy. Close attention
is necessary when used by or near children. Store
idle power tools out of the reach of children and do
not allow persons unfamiliar with the power tool or
these instructions to operate the power tool. Power
tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
•Use extra care when using on stairs. Do not over-
reach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times.
Keep work area clean and well lit. This enables
better control of the tool in unexpected situations.
•Avoid dangerous environmental conditions. To
reduce the risk of electric shock, do not expose to
rain. Store tool indoors.
• Inspect the area before using the power tool. Remove
all debris and hard objects such as rocks, glass, wire,
etc. that can ricochet, be thrown, or otherwise cause
injury or damage during operation.
PERSONAL SAFETY
• Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use com-
mon sense when operating a power tool. Do not
use a power tool while you are tired or under the
inuence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment
of inattention while operating power tools may result in
serious personal injury.
•Always wear eye protection. Use of this tool can
result in foreign objects being blown into eyes,
which can result in eye damage.
•Wear a face or dust mask when working in dust situ-
ations. Dust particles can harm your lungs.
• Use personal protective equipment. Protective equip-
ment such as hearing protection, protective clothing, and
non-skid safety shoes used for appropriate conditions
will reduce personal injuries.
• Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or
jewelry. Keep your hair and clothing away from
moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry or long hair can
be caught in moving parts.
• Do not point tool at self or bystanders. Keep bystand-
ers 50' away during use. Objects may be thrown or
ricochet in all directions.
• Do not let familiarity gained from frequent use of
tools allow you to become complacent and ignore
tool safety principles. A careless action can cause
severe injury within a fraction of a second.
POWER TOOL USE AND CARE
• Use the power tool, accessories, 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 di󰀨erent from those
intended could result in a hazardous situation.
• Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch
is in the o󰀨-position before connecting to power
source and/or battery pack, picking up or carrying
the tool. Carrying power tools with your nger on the
switch or energizing power tools that have the switch
on invites accidents.
• Use the correct power tool for your application. The
correct power tool will do the job better and safer at the
rate for which it was designed.
• Use only as described in this manual. Use only
manufacturer’s recommended attachments.
• Do not point tool at anything that is burning or
smoking such as cigarettes, matches, or hot ashes.
•To reduce the risk of health hazards from vapors or
dust, do not use tool near tool toxic, carcinogenic
or other hazardous materials such as asbestos,
arsenic, barium, beryllium, lead, pesticides or other
health endangering materials.

WARNING
Some dust created by power
sanding, sawing, grinding,
drilling, and other construction activities contains
chemicals known to cause cancer, birth defects or
other reproductive harm. Some examples of these
chemicals are:
• lead from lead-based paint
• 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 lter
out microscopic particles.
• Do not use power tool if the switch does not turn it
on and o󰀨. Any power tool that cannot be controlled
with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
•Avoid accidental starting. Ensure the switch is
in the o󰀨-position before inserting battery pack.
Inserting battery packs in tools that have the switch on
invites accidents.
• Do not put hands or objects into openings. Do not
use with any opening blocked; keep free of dust, lint,
hair, and anything else that may reduce air ow.
• Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry, clean
and free from oil and grease. Slippery handles and
grasping surfaces do not allow for safe handling and
control of the tool in unexpected situations.
• Maintain power tools and accessories. Check for
misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage
of parts and any other condition that may a󰀨ect the
power tool’s operation. If damaged, have the power
tool repaired before use. Many accidents are caused
by poorly maintained power tools.
BATTERY PACK USE AND CARE
• Remove the battery pack from the power tool before
making any adjustments, changing accessories,
storing, or any time the power tool is not in use.
Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of
starting the power tool accidentally.
•Turn o󰀨 power tool before removing battery pack.
• Do not handle battery pack, tool, or charger (including
charger plug and terminals) with wet hands.
