WARNING
• This pump must be monitored frequently (at least once a month, possibly more frequently if
used in water that is full of debris). If the pump becomes clogged with debris (leaves, sticks,
mud, etc.), excess pressure could cause the motor seal to weaken, and water could come in
contact with the electric motor. Pump must not be used when connected to power outlet.
NEVER STAND IN WATER WITH A RUNNING PUMP!
• Keep your work area clean and well lit. Cluttered benches and dark areas invite accidents.
• Do not operate products in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable
liquids, gases or dust. Products create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
• Keep children and bystanders away while operating a product. Distractions can cause you to
lose control of the situation.
• This product is supplied with integral 18V lithium-ion batteries. Pump must be recharged only
with the charger supplied with the pump.
• When charging the pump, protect the power cord from being walked on or pinched particularly
at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point where they exit from the product.
• Unplug this product and disconnect the battery when not in use.
• Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. Proper footing and balance
enable better control of the product in unexpected situations.
• Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the off position before connecting to
power source and/or battery pack, handle or carrying the tool. Carrying pump with your finger
on the switch or energizing pumps that have the switch on invites accidents.
• To reduce the risk of electrocution, do not touch plug with wet hands.
PUMP USE AND CARE
• Do not use product if switch does not turn it on or off. A product that cannot be controlled with
the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
• Disconnect battery pack from power supply and from product before making any adjustments,
changing accessories, or storing the product. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk
of starting the product accidentally.
• Do not drain water while charging.
• Drain water from the pump before servicing.
CAUTION:
The pump has been designed for use with water only. Do not use with acids, alkalines,
solvents, flammable material, gasoline or petroleum products, bleaches, or industrial grade
solutions. These products can cause physical injuries to the operator and irreversible damage
to the pump.
