GENERAL SAFETY WARNINGS AND INSTRUCTIONS FOR ALL TOOLS
WARNING:
Read all safety warnings and all instructions. Failure to follow the warnings and
instructions may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.
• A BATTERY OPERATED UNIT 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.
• USE BATTERY OPERATED UNIT ONLY with specifically designated battery pack. Use of any other
batteries may create a risk of fire.
• AVOID accidental starting. Be sure switch is in the locked or off position before inserting battery
pack. Carrying units with your finger on the switch or inserting the battery pack into a unit with the
switch on invites accidents.
• DO NOT use unit if switch does not turn it on or off. A unit that cannot be controlled with the switch is
dangerous and must be repaired.
• DISCONNECT battery pack from unit or place the switch in the locked or off position before
making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing the unit. Such preventative safety
measures reduce the risk of starting the unit accidentally.
