== Tips & Tricks ==

* Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered and dark areas invite accidents.
* Keep bystanders away while operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.
* Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
* Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the power tool on. A wrench or a key left attached to a moving part of the power tool may result in personal injury.
* Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations.
* Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing, and gloves away from moving parts. 
* Avoid cutting nails. Inspect work piece for any nails and remove them before operation.

* Tips for maintaining maximum battery life
** Charge the battery cartridge before completely discharging.
** Always stop tool operation and charge the battery cartridge when you notice less tool power.
** Never recharge a fully charged battery cartridge. Overcharging shortens the battery service life.
** Let a hot battery cartridge cool down before charging it.
