GENERAL SAFETY RULES
■
■
■
Remove adjusting keys or wrenches before turn-
ing the tool on. A wrench or a key that is left at-
tached to a rotating part of the tool may result in
personal injury.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING:
Read and understand all instructions. Failure to
follow all instructions listed below, may result in
electric shock, fire and/or serious personal injury.
Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and bal-
ance at all times. Proper footing and balance en-
ables better control of the tool in unexpected situa-
tions. Do not use on a ladder or unstable support.
WORK AREA
Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protec-
tion. Dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or
hearing protection must be used for appropriate con-
ditions.
■
Keep your work area clean and well lit. Cluttered
benches and 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 may create
sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
TOOL USE AND CARE
■
Use clamps or other practical way to secure and
support the workpiece to a stable platform. Hold-
ing the work by hand or against your body is un-
stable and may lead to loss of control.
Do not force tool. Use the correct tool for your
application. The correct tool will do the job better
and safer at the rate for which it is designed.
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.
Disconnect battery pack from tool or place the
switch in the locked or off position before mak-
ing any adjustments, changing accessories, or
storing the tool. Such preventive safety measures
reduce risk of starting the tool accidentally.
Store idle tools out of reach of children and other
untrained persons. Tools are dangerous in the
hands of untrained users.
■
Keep bystanders, children, and visitors away
while operating a power tool. Distractions can
cause you to lose control.
■
■
■
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
■
Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord to
carry the charger. Keep cord away from heat, oil,
sharp edges, or moving parts. Replace damaged
cords immediately. Damaged cords may create a
fire.
■
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. Use battery only with charger listed.
■
■
MODEL
CHARGER
When battery pack is not in use, keep it away
from other metal objects like: paper clips, coins,
keys, nails, screws, or other small metal objects
that can make a connection from one terminal
to another. Shorting the battery terminals together
may cause sparks, burns, or a fire.
HP36, FL36
1426001
■
Use battery operated tool only with specifically
designatedbatterypack.Useofanyotherbatteries
may create a risk of fire. Use only with battery pack
listed.
■
■
Maintain tools with care. Keep cutting tools sharp
and clean. Properly maintained tools with sharp
cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier
to control.
Check for misalignment or binding of moving
parts, breakage of parts, and any other condi-
tion that may affect the tool's operation. If dam-
aged, have the tool serviced before using. Many
accidents are caused by poorly maintained tools.
Use only accessories that are recommended by
the manufacturer for your model.Accessories that
may be suitable for one tool, may create a risk of
injury when used on another tool.
PERSONAL SAFETY
■
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 medication. A moment of inat-
tention while operating power tools may result in
serious personal injury.
■
■
Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or
jewelry. Contain long hair. Keep your hair, cloth-
ing, and gloves away from moving parts. Loose
clothes, jewelry, or long hair can be caught in mov-
ing parts.
■
Avoid accidental starting. Be sure switch is in
the locked or off position before inserting bat-
tery pack. Carrying tools with your finger on the
switch or inserting the battery pack into a tool with
the switch on, invites accidents.

GENERAL SAFETY RULES
■
When servicing a tool, use only identical replace-
SERVICE
ment parts. Follow instructions in the Mainte-
nance section of this manual. Use of unauthorized
parts or failure to follow Maintenance Instructions
may create a risk of shock or injury.
■
Tool service must be performed only by quali-
fied repair personnel. Service or maintenance per-
formed by unqualified personnel may result in a risk
of injury.
SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES
Hold tool by insulated gripping surfaces when performing an operation where the cutting tool may contact
hidden wiring. Contact with a "live" wire will make exposed metal parts of the tool "live" and shock the operator.
■
Do not place cordless tools or their batteries
near fire or heat. This will reduce the risk of explo-
sion and possibly injury.
ADDITIONAL SAFETY RULES
■
Know your power tool. Read operator's manual
carefully. Learn its applications and limitations,
as well as the specific potential hazards related
to this tool. Following this rule will reduce the risk of
electric shock, fire, or serious injury.
WARNING:
Batteries vent hydrogen gas and can explode in the
presence of a source of ignition, such as a pilot light.
To reduce the risk of serious personal injury, never
use any cordless product in the presence of open
flame. An exploded battery can propel debris and
chemical. If exposed, flush with water immediately.
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:
■
Do not charge cordless tool in a damp or wet
location. Following this rule will reduce the risk of
electric shock.
• lead from lead-based paints,
• crystalline silica from bricks and cement and
other masonry products, and
■
■
For best results, your cordless tool should be
charged in a location where the temperature is
more than 50°F but less than 100°F. Do not store
outside or in vehicles.
• arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated
lumber.
Underextremeusageortemperatureconditions,
battery leakage may occur. If liquid comes in
contact with your skin, wash immediately with
soap and water, then neutralize with lemon juice
or vinegar. If liquid gets into your eyes, flush
them with clean water for at least 10 minutes,
thenseekimmediatemedicalattention. Following
thisrulewillreducetheriskofseriouspersonalinjury.
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 microscopic particles.
CORDLESS TOOL RULES
■
Cordless tools do not have to be plugged into an
electrical outlet; therefore, they are always in
operating condition. Be aware of possible haz-
ards when not using your cordless tool or when
changing accessories. Following this rule will re-
duce the risk of electric shock, fire, or serious per-
sonal injury.
WARNING:
A damaged battery is subject to explosion. To avoid
serious personal injury, properly dispose of a
damaged battery.
