5. Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord to carry tools or pull the plug from an outlet.
Keep the cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Do not operate this tool if
the power cord is frayed or damaged. Replace damaged cords immediately. Damaged cords
increase the risk of electric shock. Do not modify the plug in any way.
6. When operating a power tool outside, use an outdoor extension cord marked “W-A” or
“W”. These cords are rated for outdoor use and reduce the risk of electric shock. Use in
conjunction with a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI). If operating a power tool in a
damp location is unavoidable, the use of a GFCI reduces the risk of electric shock. It is
recommended that the GFCI should have a rated residual current of 30 mA or less.
7. Avoid using an unnecessarily long extension cord. Choose a cord that is appropriate for the
situation, as a cord that is too long and running across the floor can be more dangerous
than helpful. Using a cord that is too long or too thin could damage the tool. Unroll the cord
completely to prevent it from overheating.
8. Place the electrical cord in a position that prevents it from coming into contact with the tool
and from getting caught by the work piece. The cord should always stay behind the tool.
BATTERY CHARGER SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
1. A battery operated tool with internal batteries or a separate battery pack must only be
powered by the included battery. Do not, for instance, mix different brands of tools and
batteries or use adapters to allow you to use a battery pack with a different voltage. Using
another battery pack could cause a fire.
2. Batteries must only be recharged with the included charger. A charger that may be suitable
for one type of battery could cause a fire when used with another battery.
3. If operating time has become excessively shorter, stop operating immediately. It may result in
a risk of overheating, possible burns and even and explosion.
4. Do not attempt to use a step-up transformer, an engine generator or DC power receptacle.
5. Place the charger on a flat non-flammable surface and away from flammable materials when
re-charging the battery pack.
6. Set the tool’s trigger switch to the OFF position before installing or removing the battery
pack. This will prevent injury due to accidental starts.
7. Do not use the battery charger in damp or wet locations.
8. Do not store battery packs in containers / spaces with loose metal objects. Battery pack
terminals could be short circuited if they come into contact with metal objects. In addition to
damaging the battery pack, you increase the risk of a fire.
9. Do not operate the charger if it has received a sharp blow, been dropped or otherwise
damaged in any way. Take the charger to a qualified service technician.
10. Do not disassemble the charger or battery pack. Take the charger or battery pack to a
qualified service technician when service or repair is required.
11. Do not charge the battery pack when the temperature is below 10°C(50°F) or above 40°C
(104°F). Store the tool and battery pack in a location where the temperature will not exceed
50°C (122°F). This is important to prevent serious damage to the battery cells.
NOTE:
Before using your tool for the first time, discharge the battery and then charge the battery
pack completely.
WARNING! A battery short can cause a large current flow, overheating, possible burns and even a
breakdown of the tool.
