IMPORTANT SAFETY RULES FOR BATTERY
TOOLS
■
Battery tools do not have to be plugged into an electrical
outlet; therefore, they are always in an operating
condition. Be aware of possible hazards when carrying
your battery tool, when making adjustments to it, or
when changing accessories.
■
USE ONLY THE CHARGER AND BATTERY
RECOMMENDED FOR YOUR BATTERY TOOL.
Do
not substitute any other charger. Use of another charger
could cause batteries to explode causing possible
serious injury.
■
Never use a battery that has been dropped or received
a sharp blow. A damaged battery is subject to explosion.
Properly dispose of a dropped battery immediately.
Failure to heed this warning can result in serious
personal injury.
■
DO NOT PLACE BATTERY TOOLS OR THEIR
BATTERIES NEAR FIRE OR HEAT.
They may explode.
■
Batteries vent hydrogen gas and can explode in the
presence of a source of ignition, such as a pilot light. To
reduce the risk of serious personal injury, never use any
cordless product in the presence of open flame. An
exploded battery can propel debris and chemicals. If
exposed, flush with water immediately.
■
A damaged battery is subject to explosion. To avoid
serious personal injury, properly dispose of a damaged
battery.
■
DO NOT CHARGE BATTERY TOOL IN A DAMP OR
WET LOCATION.
■
Your battery tool should be charged in a location where
the temperature is
more than 50
°
F but less than
100
°
F
. Do not store outside or in vehicles.
■
Under extreme usage or temperature conditions, battery
leakage may occur. If liquid comes in contact with your
skin, wash immediately with soap and water, then
neutralize with lemon juice or vinegar. If liquid gets in
your eyes, flush them with clean water for at least 10
minutes, then seek immediate medical attention.
■
If carrying your battery tool at your side, make sure it is
not running and your finger is not on the switch. Avoid
accidental starting.
■
SECURE WORK
before applying power.
NEVER
hold
workpiece in your hand or across your legs.
■
WHEN SERVICING USE ONLY IDENTICAL
REPLACEMENT PARTS.

charger part number 1412001.
■
Before using battery charger, read all instructions and
cautionary markings in this manual, on battery charger,
and product using battery charger.
■
To reduce risk of injury, charge only nickel-cadmium
type rechargeable batteries. Other types of batteries
may burst causing personal injury and damage.
■
Do not expose charger to rain or snow.
■
Use of an attachment not recommended or sold by the
battery charger manufacturer may result in a risk of fire,
electric shock, or injury to persons.
■
To reduce risk of damage to charger body and cord, pull
by charger plug rather than cord when disconnecting
charger.
■
Make sure cord is located so that it will not be stepped
on, tripped over, or otherwise subjected to damage or
stress.
■
An extension cord should not be used unless absolutely
necessary. Use of improper extension cord could result
in a risk of fire and electric shock. If extension cord must
be used, make sure:

That pins on plug of extension cord are the same
number, size and shape as those of plug on
charger.
b.
