SPECIFIC 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.
• Battery tools do not have to be plugged into an electrical outlet;
therefore, they are always in operating condition. Be aware of
possible hazards when not using your battery tool or when changing
accessories.
Following this rule will reduce the risk of electric shock, fire or
serious personal injury.
• Do not place battery tools or their batteries near fire or heat. This will
reduce the risk of explosion and possibly injury.
• Do not crush, drop or damage the battery pack. Do not use a battery
pack or charger that has been dropped or received a sharp blow.
A
damaged battery is subject to explosion. Properly dispose of a dropped or
damaged battery immediately.
• 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 chemicals. If exposed,
flush with water immediately.
• Do not charge the battery in a damp or wet location.
Following this rule
will reduce the risk of electric shock.
• For best results, your battery should be charged in a location where the
temperature is more that 50°F (10°C) but less that 104°F (40°C). Do not
store outside or in vehicles.
• Under extreme usage or temperature conditions, 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 in your eyes, flush them with clean water for at least 10 minutes,
then seek immediate medical attention.
Following this rule will reduce the
risk of serious personal injury.
