TOOL AND CHARGER USE AND CARE
•
When not in use, lock the Trigger Switch by putting
the Forward/Reverse Lever in the neutral (center)
position.
•
Store idle tools. When not in use, tools should be
stored in a dry, high or secured place.
•
This tool is always in an operating condition. It
does not have to be plugged into an electrical outlet
in order to operate.
•
Accessories. The use of accessories or attachments
other than those recommended might present a
hazard.
•
Be sure the Battery is securely latched in position
when inserted into the tool.
•
An extension cord should not be used unless
absolutely necessary. Use of an improper extension
cord could cause fire or electric shock. If an
extension cord must be used, be sure it meets the
following requirements:
a. The pins on the plug of the extension cord must
be the same number, size and shape as those on
the plug of the Battery Charger.
b. The extension cord must be properly wired and in
good electrical condition.
c. The wire size must be large enough for the AC
ampere rating of the Battery Charger as specified:

d. An extension cord is a temporary solution. Move
the Charger to a standard receptacle as soon as the
job has been completed.
•
Don’t abuse the cord. Never carry Charger by cord
or yank it to disconnect from receptacle. Keep cord
from heat, oil and sharp edges.
•
Do not operate Battery Charger if it has received a
sharp blow, been dropped or otherwise damaged in
any way. If any of these conditions occur, take the
Battery Charger to a qualified serviceman for repair.
•
Do not disassemble the Battery Charger. Take it to
a qualified serviceman when service or repair is
required.
•
Inspect plug and cord before each use. Replace
them if they show wear or damage.
