Important Safety Instructions for All
Battery Packs
WARNING: Read all safety warnings, instructions,
and cautionary markings for the battery pack,
charger and product. Failure to follow the
warnings and instructions may result in electric
shock, fire and/or seriousinjury.
• Do not charge or use the battery pack in explosive
atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable
liquids, gases or dust. Inserting or removing the battery
pack from the charger may ignite the dust orfumes.
• NEVER force the battery pack into the charger. DO
NOT modify the battery pack in any way to fit into a
non‑compatible charger as battery pack may rupture
causing serious personal injury. Consult the chart
at the end of this manual for compatibility of batteries
andchargers.
• Charge the battery packs only in
CRAFTSMANchargers.

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 lay 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
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 work 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.
producing applications such as hammerdrilling and
drillingmetals.
• Never lay the tool down until the bit has come to a
complete stop. Moving bits could causeinjury.
• Do not strike jammed bits with a hammer to dislodge
them. Fragments of metal or material chips could dislodge
and causeinjury.
• Slightly worn chisels can be resharpened bygrinding.
• Do not overheat the bit (discoloration) while grinding
a new edge. Badly worn chisels require reforging. Do not
reharden and temper thechisel.
• Do not use this tool to mix or pump easily combustible
or explosive fluids (benzine, alcohol,etc.).
• Do not mix or stir inflammable liquids
labelledaccordingly.
