• Always wear eye protection with side
shields marked to comply with ANSI
Z87.1. Failure to do so could result in
objects being thrown into your eyes and
other possible serious injuries.
• Keep battery pack dry, clean, and free
from oil and grease. Always use a
clean cloth when cleaning. Never use
brake fluids, gasoline, petroleum-based
products, or any solvents to clean battery
pack.
PROPER CARE FOR BATTERY
Off-season storage
To obtain the longest possible battery life, we
suggest the following:
• Remove the battery pack from the
charger once it is fully charged and ready
for use.
For battery pack storage longer than 30
days:
• Store the battery pack where the
temperature is below 80°F and away from
moisture.
• Store battery packs in a 30%-50%
charged condition.
• Every six months of storage, charge the
pack as normal.
CHARGER SAFETY RULES
• DO NOT ABUSE THE CHARGE CORD.
Never carry the charger by the cord.
• Do not use a damaged charger. Replace
the charger cords or the charger
immediately.
• Keep the charger away from water, heat
sources (radiators, heaters, stoves, etc.),
flames, and chemicals.
• Make sure the battery pack is secured in
the charger before beginning operation.
• The battery pack will become slightly
warm to the touch while charging. This is
normal and does not indicate a problem.
• Do not place the charger and battery
pack in an area of extreme heat or cold.
They will work best at normal room
temperature.
• When batteries become fully charged,
unplug the charger from the power supply
and remove the battery pack.
WARNING:
(PROPOSITION 65)
Some dust created by power sanding, sawing,
grinding, drilling, and other construction
activities contains chemicals known to cause
cancer, birth defects or 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 of exposure to these chemicals
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 dust masks that are
specially designed to filter out microscopic
particles.
