do not expose to rain
to remove static and airborne dust could contaminate the
working environment or pose an increased health risk to
the operator and those in closeproximity.
• Use clamps or other practical ways to secure and
support the workpiece to a stable platform. Holding
the workpiece by hand or against your body is unstable
and may lead to loss of control andinjury.
• Air vents often cover moving parts and should be
avoided. Loose clothes, jewelry or long hair can be caught
in movingparts.
CAUTION: When not in use, place tool on its side
on a stable surface where it will not cause a
tripping or falling hazard. Some tools with large
battery packs will stand upright on the battery pack
but may be easily knockedover.
Additional Safety Information
WARNING: Never modify the power tool or any part of
it. Damage or personal injury couldresult.
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 SAFETYEQUIPMENT:
• ANSI Z87.1 eye protection (CAN/CSA Z94.3),
• ANSI S12.6 (S3.19) hearing protection,
• NIOSH/OSHA/MSHA respiratoryprotection.
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
chemicalsare:
• lead from lead‑based paints,
• crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other
masonry products, and
• arsenic and chromium from
chemically‑treatedlumber.
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 microscopicparticles.
• Wear protective clothing and wash exposed areas
with soap and water. Allowing dust to get into your
mouth, eyes, or lie on the skin may promote absorption
of harmfulchemicals. Direct particles away from face
andbody.
• Use the appropriate dust extractor vacuum to remove
the vast majority of static and airborne dust. Failure
• Operators and others in work area must wear ANSI Z87.1
CAN/CSA Z94.3 or other approved safety glasses with side
shields. Always wear safety glasses and ear protection
duringoperation.
• Adequate clearance is required for the tool operator’s
hands beforeproceeding.
• Do not operate a tool that is directed towards any
person(s).
• DO NOT operate tool with the nose housingremoved.
• Do not operate the tool or the charger in an explosive
atmosphere or environment allowing exposure to
combustible fluids orgases.
• Do not operate the tool or the charger in an environment
allowing exposure to moisture or rain to avoid risk of
electricshock.
• Do not abuse the tool by dropping or using it as ahammer.
• Keep dirt and foreign matter out of the air vents of the tool
as this will cause the tool tomalfunction.
• Keep tool handles dry, clean, and free from oil andgrease.
• When carrying the tool from place to place keep hands
away from the trigger to avoid inadvertentactivation.
• Never leave installation toolunattended.
• Disconnect battery when tool is not inuse.
