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. 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.

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.

3.5. 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 (140 °F) may cause

5. Important Safety Instructions for Battery

Chargers

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS:

This 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.

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.

b. Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection.

Protec-

tive equipment such as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing

protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.

c. Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the off-position be-

fore connecting to power source and/or battery pack, picking up or car-

rying the tool.

Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or energizing

power tools that have the switch on invites accidents.

d. Remove any adjusting key (wrench, screwdriver…) before turning the

power tool on.

A wrench or a key left attached to a rotating part of the power
