• If you detect leakage or a foul odour, it is especially important to keep the battery away
from fire. If battery liquid leaks onto your skin or clothes, wash well with clean water
immediately. If liquid leaking from the battery gets into your eyes, do not rub your eyes.
Rinse your eyes well (for at least 10 minutes) with clean water, and consult a doctor
immediately. Do not use a leaking battery.
• Handle batteries with care to avoid shorting the battery with conducting materials, such as
nails, screws, metal watch bands, rings, bracelets, and keys. The battery may overheat
and could burn you.
• After the battery has reached the end of its useful life, we recommend recycling the
materials at your local municipal council recycling centre. DO NOT attempt to replace the
battery cells in the battery pack, repair or modify any part of the battery pack assembly.
• When recycling, make it nonconductive by applying insulating tape to the terminals locat-
ed on the battery.
WHEN TO CHARGE THE BATTERY
New batteries are shipped in a low charged condition and
should be fully charged before Use. The battery pack can be recharged at any time
during use, provided the pack is not overheated.
If the battery pack starts to cut out due to low voltage, or previous tasks undertaken can
no longer be performed, it is suggested to stop using the tool and recharge the battery.
For storage, it is suggested to recharge the battery between 50% and 75% charge.
WARNING:
Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling and other
construction activities contains chemicals known to the State of California to cause
cancer, birth defects of other reproductive harm. Some examples of these chemicals are:
• Lead from lead-based paints
• Crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry products,
and
• Arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated lumber.
Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how often you do this type of work.
To reduce your exposure to these chemicals: work in a well-ventilated area, and work
with approved safety equipment, such as those dust masks that are specially designed to
filter out microscopic particles.
UNPACKING
Due to modern mass production techniques, it is unlikely that your Workpro Power Tool is
faulty or that a part is missing. If you find anything wrong, do not operate the tool until the
parts have been replaced or the fault has been rectified. Failure to do so could result in
serious personal injury.
