user wears work overalls.
7. Special gloves made of thick leather are part of the prescribed equipment and must always be worn
during operation of the tool.
8. When using the tool, always wear sturdy shoes with a nonslip sole. This protects against injuries from
flying debris and ensures a good footing.

Electrical and battery safety
1. Avoid dangerous environment. Don't use the tool in damp or wet locations or expose it to rain. Water
entering the tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
2. 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.
3. Use power tools only with specifically designated battery packs. Use of any other battery packs may
create a risk of injury and fire.
4. When battery pack is not in use, keep it away from 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. Shorting the battery terminals together may cause burns or a fire.
5. Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from the battery; avoid contact. If contact accidentally
occurs, flush with water. If liquid contacts eyes, seek medical help. Liquid ejected from the battery may
cause irritation or burns.
6. Do not dispose of the battery(ies) in a fire. The cell may explode. Check with local codes for possible
special disposal instructions.
7. Do not open or mutilate the battery(ies). Released electrolyte is corrosive and may cause damage to
the eyes or skin. It may be toxic if swallowed.
8. Do not charge battery in rain, or in wet locations.
9. When replacing batteries, all batteries should be replaced at the same time. Mixing fresh and
discharged batteries could increase internal cell pressure and rupture discharged battery(ies).
