other metal objects like paper clips, coins, keys,
nails, screws, or other small metal objects that can
make a connection from one terminal to another.

ADDITIONAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE
CHARGER
Your WORKPRO tool with Lithium Ion batteries may
only be charged with the specific designed WORK-
PRO Lithium Ion battery charger purchased with the
tool.
IT IS DANGEROUS TO USE ANY OTHER BATTERY
CHARGER TO CHARGE YOUR TOOL. Do not
attempt to charge the battery pack with any other
charger than the one supplied.
Before using the charger, read all the instructions,
labels and cautionary markings on the charger and
battery pack as well as the instructions on using the
battery pack.
Do not use the charger if it has been subjected to a
heavy knock, dropped or otherwise damaged in
anyway. Take the charger to an authorised service
centre for a check or repair.
Do not disassemble the charger. Opening or removing
covers may expose you to dangerous voltages or
other risks. Incorrect reassembly can cause electric
shock when you use the tool or charger again. Take
the charger to a power tool repair centre when service
or repair is required.
DANGER. If the battery pack is cracked or
damaged in any other way, do not insert it in the
charger.
Do not plug anything other than your WORKPRO tool
into the charger, as other objects may touch
dangerous voltage points or short out parts, which
could result in fire or electric shock.
Do not place the tool or charger on an uneven
surface, as a fall may cause serious damage.
Never place the tool or charger near or over a heat
source such as a radiator or heater.
Do not operate the charger in a cabinet or other
enclosure unless proper ventilation is provided.
Use the battery charger indoors only.
Disconnect the plug from the power source
and/or remove the battery pack, if detach-
able, from the power tool before making any
adjustments, changing accessories, or
storing power tools. Such preventive safety
measures reduce the risk of starting the power
tool accidentally.
Store idle power tools out of the reach of
children and do not allow persons unfamiliar
with the power tool or these instructions to
operate the power tool. Power tools are
dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
Maintain power tools and accessories. Check
for misalignment or binding of moving parts,
breakage of parts and any other condition
that may affect the power tool’s operation. If
damaged, have the power tool repaired before
use. Many accidents are caused by poorly
maintained power tools.
Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly
maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting
edges are less likely to bind and are easier to
control.
Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits
etc. In accordance with these instructions,
taking into account the working conditions and
the work to be performed. Use of the power tool
for operations different from those intended
could result in a hazardous situation.
Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry,
clean and free from oil and grease. Slippery
handles and grasping surfaces do not allow for
safe handling and control of the tool in
unexpected situations.
5) Service
Have your power tool serviced by a qualified
repair person using only identical replacement
parts. This will ensure that the safety of the
power tool is maintained.
6) Battery tool use and care
a. Ensure the switch is in the off position before
inserting battery pack. Inserting the battery pack
into power tools that have the switch on invites
accidents.
b. 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.
c. Use power tools only with specifically designated
battery packs. Use of any other battery packs
may create a risk of injury and fire.
