IMPORTANT SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING
Read all safety warnings, instruc-
tions, illustrations and specifica
-
tions provided with this power tool.
Failure to
follow all instructions listed below may result in
electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.
Save all
warnings and instructions for future reference.
• Know your power supply.
Read operator's manual
carefully. Learn its applications and limitations, as
well as the specific potential hazards related to this
product. Do not alter or modify the power supply from
the original design or function. Misuse and improper
handling can cause injury.
• Always follow all safety rules recommended by
the manufacturer of attachments.
• Do not use this power supply to provide power
for emergency medical equipment or life support
devices.
WORK AREA SAFETY
• Keep work area clean and well lit.
Cluttered or
dark areas invite accidents.
• To reduce the risk of injury, close supervision is
necessary
when an appliance is used near children.
• Do not expose to rain. Store indoors.
•For indoor use or temporary outdoor use. Exer-
cise reasonable care when using in wet condi
-
tions. Do not charge outdoors.
• If using with a lanyard, do not exceed maximum
capacity marked on the lanyard label.
Always de-
termine the weight of the product, with all accesso-
ries, when selecting the appropriate lanyard system.
Exceeding maximum capacity may result in serious
injury. See specifications for tool and battery weight.
• For best results, use with energy absorbing
lanyards.
Ropes, straps or chains may break and
cause failure. Do not use with lanyards at full tension.
Do not use lanyards longer than 3 feet.
• Never leave the power supply unattended while
in use.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
• Power cord plugs must match the outlet. Never
modify the plug in any way. Do not use any
adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power
tools.
Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will
reduce risk of electric shock.
•Connect only to properly grounded outlets.
•
Always use a suitable extension cord to reduce
the risk of electric shock.
• Unplug the cord from outlet when not in use and
before servicing or cleaning.
• Maintain charger cord.
When unplugging charger,
pull plug rather than cord. Never carry charger by
its cord. Keep cord from heat, oil and sharp edges.
Make sure cord will not be stepped on, tripped over
or subjected to damage or stress. Do not use char
-
ger with damaged cord or plug. Have a damaged
charger replaced immediately.
•
Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for
carrying, pulling or unplugging the power tool.
Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or
moving parts.
• Arrange cords carefully to avoid hazardous
environments.
Tripping or snagging on cords can
cause injury and product damage. Do not allow
cords to run through puddles or across wet ground.
•
Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded
surfaces, such as pipes, radiators, ranges and
refrigerators.
There is an increased risk of electric
shock if your body is earthed or grounded.
• To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not put
equipment in water or other liquid.
Do not place
or store appliance where it can fall or be pulled into
a tub or sink.
•
If operating a equipment in a damp location is
unavoidable, use a ground fault circuit inter
-
rupter (GFCI) protected supply.
Use of an GFCI
reduces the risk of electric shock.
•This equipment has arcing or sparking parts
which should not be exposed to flammable
vapors. Locate equipment at least 18" (457 mm)
above the floor when used in a repair facility.
•Operating this power supply less than 3' (1 m)
from building or other obstruction can cause
overheating and damage to the power supply.
For proper cooling, allow at least 3' (1 m) of emp-
ty space above and around the power supply.
•
Do not connect power supply output to a build
-
ing’s electrical system.
•The power supply is isolated from the frame and
from the AC receptacle ground pin.
•The power supply output is disconnected (iso-
lated) from the AC receptacle ground pin and
frame. Therefore, electrical devices that require
this connection may not operate.
•Do not exceed the load rating of the extension
cord. Be mindful of the individual and accumula-
tive electrical load for all attachments.
Exceeding
the load capacity of the extension cord could result
in overheating, fire, electrical shock, or injury.
•Do not overload the power supply’s capacity.
Exceeding the power supply's wattage/amperage
capacity may damage the power supply and/or
electrical devices connected to it.
• Equipment may require more power consumptions
than this power supply is capable of providing.
Check the equipment's manual to avoid damage
to the power supply or risk of personal injury.
PERSONAL SAFETY
• Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and
balance at all times.
This enables better control
of the power tool in unexpected situations.
• Do not sit or step on the power supply.
•
Do not use on a ladder or unstable support.
Stable footing on a solid surface enables better
control of the power supply in unexpected situations.
•Do not put fingers or hands into the power sup
-
ply.
Do not put any object into openings.
Do not
use with any opening blocked; keep free of dust,
lint, hair, and anything else that may reduce air flow.
• Always use common sense and be cautious when
using tools.
It is not possible to anticipate every
situation that could result in a dangerous outcome.
Do not use this tool if you do not understand these
operating instructions or you feel the work is beyond
your capability; contact Milwaukee Tool or a trained
professional for additional information or training.
