Dress  Properly.  The  clothing  worn  should  be 
functional  and  appropriate,  i.e.  it  should  be 
tight-fitting  but  not  cause  hindrance.  Do  not 
wear  either  jewelry  or  clothing  which  could

protective hair covering to contain long hair. 

2. 

When  using  the  tool,  always  wear  sturdy 
shoes  with  a  non-slip  sole.  This  protects

Electrical and battery safety 

1. 

Avoid  dangerous  environment.  Don't  use  the 
tool  in  damp  or  wet  locations  or  expose  it  to 
rain.  Water  entering  the  tool will  increase  the 
risk of electric shock. 

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. 

Do not dispose of the battery(ies) in a fire. The 
cell  may  explode.  Check  with  local  codes  for 
possible special disposal instructions. 

 

5. 

Do  not  open  or  mutilate  the  battery(ies).
