 WARNING! 

To ensure safety and reliability, all repairs should be performed 

by a qualified service technician at Authorized Service Center.

 WARNING! 

Always wear safety goggles or safety glasses with side shields 

when using compressed air to clean tool. If the operation is dusty, also wear a 

dust mask.

 WARNING! 

To avoid serious personal injury, always remove the battery pack 

from the tool when cleaning or performing any maintenance..

BATTERIES:

The battery pack is equipped with nickel-cadmium rechargeable batteries. 

Length of service from each charging will depend on the type of work you 

are doing.
The batteries have been designed to provide maximum trouble-free life. 

However, like all batteries, they will eventually wear out. Do not disassemble 

battery pack and attempt to replace the battery cells. Handling of these 

batteries, especially when wearing rings and jewelry, could result in a 

serious burn.
To obtain the longest possible battery life, we suggest the following: 

  

Remove the battery pack from the charger once it is fully charged and 

ready for use.

For battery storage longer than 30 days:

  

Store the battery pack where the temperature is below 80°F. 

  

Store battery packs in a “discharged” condition.

BATTERY PACK REMOVAL AND PREPARATION FOR RECYCLING

To preserve natural resources, please recycle or dispose of 

batteries properly. This product contains nickel-cadmium. 

Local, state, or federal laws may prohibit disposal of 

nickel-cadmium batteries in ordinary trash. Consult your 

local waste authority for information regarding available 

recycling and/or disposal options.

 WARNING! 

Upon removal of the battery pack for disposal or recycling, cover 

the battery pack’s terminals with heavy-duty adhesive tape. Do not attempt to 

destroy or disassemble battery pack or remove any of its components. Nickel-

cadmium batteries must be recycled or disposed of properly. Also, never touch 

both terminals with metal objects and/or body parts as short circuit may result. 

Keep away from children. Failure to comply with these warnings could result in 

fire and/or serious injury.
