3.4. Power tool use and care
a. Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for your applica-
tion.
The correct power tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for which
it was designed.
b. Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it on and off.
Any
power tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be
repaired.
c. Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or the battery pack from
the power tool before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or
storing power tools.
Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting
the power tool accidentally.
d. Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and do not allow per-
sons unfamiliar with the power tool or these instructions to operate the
power tool.
Power tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
e. Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or binding of moving
parts, breakage of parts and any other condition that may affect the pow-
er tool’s operation. If damaged, have the power tool repaired before use.
Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained power tools.
f. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean.
Properly maintained cutting tools with
sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
g. Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc., in accordance with
these instructions, taking into account the working conditions and the
work to be performed.
Use of the power tool for operations different from those
intended could result in a hazardous situation.
3.6. Service
a. Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair person using only
identical replacement parts.
This will ensure that the safety of the power tool
is maintained.
3.5. Battery tool use and care
a. Recharge only with the charger specified by the manufacturer.
A charger
that is suitable for one type of battery pack may create a risk of fire when used with
another battery pack.
b. Use power tools only with specifically designated battery packs.
Use of
any other battery packs may create a risk of injury and fire.
c. 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 burns or a fire.
d. Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from the battery, avoid
contact. If contact accidentally occurs, flush with water. If liquid contacts
eyes, additionally seek medical help.
Liquid ejected from the battery may
cause irritation or burns.
e. Do not use a battery pack or appliance that is damaged or modified.
Damaged or modified batteries may exhibit unpredictable behavior re-
sulting in fire, explosion or risk of injury.
f. Do not expose a battery pack or appliance to fire or excessive tempera-
ture. Exposure to fire or temperature above 60°C may cause explosion.
WARNING:
Shock hazard.
Do not allow any liquid to get inside charger.
5. Important Safety Instructions for Battery
Chargers
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS:
T
his manual contains important safety instructions
for battery chargers. Before using charger, read all instructions and cautionary
markings on charger, battery pack, and product using battery pack.
WARNING!
• DO NOT attempt to charge the battery pack with
any chargers other than the ones in this manual.
The charger and battery pack are specifically designed
to work together.
• These chargers are not intended for any uses other
than charging designated JACTO lithium recharge-
able batteries.
Any other uses may result in risk of fire,
electric shock or electrocution.
• Do not expose charger to rain or snow.
• Pull by plug rather than cord when disconnecting
charger.
This will reduce risk of damage to electric
plug and cord.
• Make sure that cord is located so that it will not be
stepped on, tripped over, or otherwise subjected
to damage or stress.
• Do not use an extension cord unless it is absolutely
necessary.
Use of improper extension cord could result
in risk of fire, electric shock, or electrocution.
• An extension cord must have adequate wire size
(AWG or American Wire Gauge) for safety.
When
using more than one extension to make up the total
length, be sure each individual extension contains at
least the minimum wire size. When using an extension
cord, be sure to use one heavy enough to carry the
current that product will draw. An undersized cord will
cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and
overheating. The following table shows the correct size
to use depending on cord length and nominal current
presented in the label of the charger mentioned in this
manual. If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge.
CAUTION!
• Burn hazard.
To reduce the risk of injury, charge only
designated JACTO batteries. Other types of batteries
may burst causing personal injury and damage.
• Under certain conditions, with the charger plugged
in to the power supply, the charger can be shorted
by foreign material. Foreign materials of a conductive
nature such as, but not limited to, steel wool, aluminum
foil, or any buildup of metallic particles should be kept
away from charger contacts. Always unplug the charger
from the power supply when not charging battery.
Unplug charger before attempting to clean.

g. If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and collec-
tion facilities, ensure these are connected and properly used.
Use of dust
collection can reduce dust-related hazards.
