ONE-KEY™
WARNING
Chemical Burn Hazard.
This device contains a
lithium button/coin cell battery. A new

ternal burns and lead to death in as
little as 2 hours if swallowed or enters the body.
Always secure the battery cover. If it does not
close securely, stop using the device, remove the
batteries, and keep it away from children. If you
think batteries may have been swallowed or en
-
tered the body, seek immediate medical attention.

other insulated parts. Some of these include gasoline,
turpentine, lacquer thinner, paint thinner, chlorinated
cleaning solvents, ammonia and household deter-
gents containing ammonia. Never use flammable or
combustible solvents around tools.
Cleaning Cables, Guide Hose and Machine
The cable and guide hose should be thoroughly
flushed with water after every use to prevent damag
