BATTERY POWER TOOL USE AND CARE WARNINGS
1. Ensure the switch is in the off position before inserting battery pack. Inserting the battery pack into power tools
that have the switch on invites accidents.
2. 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.
3. Use power tools only with specifically designated battery packs. Use of any other battery packs may create a risk
of injury and fire.
4. 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 fire.
5. Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from the battery; avoid contact. if contact accidentally occurs,
flush with plenty of soap and water. If liquid contacts eyes, immediately seek medical help. Liquid ejected from
the battery may cause irritation or burns.
6. Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces, such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There
is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is earthed or grounded.
7. Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric
shock.
8. Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging the power tool. Keep cord away
from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock.
9. When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable for
outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.

non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal
injuries.

unexpected situations.
