Press Tool Safety
•
Keep your fingers and hands away from
pressing attachments during press cy-
cle. Your fingers or hands can be crushed,
fractured or amputated if they become
caught between the attachment or be-
tween these components and any other
object.
•
Never attempt to repair damaged press-
ing attachments. Discard the entire dam-
aged attachment. An attachment that has
been welded, ground, drilled or modified
in any manner can shatter during pressing
resulting in serious injury. Failure to replace
the entire pressing attachment may result
in component failure and serious injury.
•
Large forces are generated during pro-
duct use that can break or throw parts
and cause injury. Stand clear during use
and wear appropriate protective equip-
ment, including eye protection.

Battery Tool Use And Care
•
Recharge only with the charger speci-
fied 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.
•
Use power tools only with specifically
designated battery packs. Use of any
other battery packs may create a risk of
injury and fire.
•
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.
•
Under abusive conditions, liquid may be
ejected from the battery; avoid contact.
If contact accidentally occurs, flush
with water. If liquid contacts eyes, addi-
tionally seek medical help. Liquid ejected
from the battery may cause irritation or
burns.
•
Do not use a battery pack or tool that
is damaged or modified. Damaged or
modified batteries may exhibit unpredict-
able behavior resulting in fire, explosion or
risk of injury.
•
Do not expose a battery pack or tool to
fire or excessive temperature. Exposure
to fire or temperature above 265°F (130°C)
may cause explosion.
•
Follow all charging instructions and do
not charge the battery pack or tool out-
side the temperature range specified
in the instructions. Charging improper-
ly or at temperatures outside the speci-
fied range may damage the battery and
increase the risk of fire.
