BATTERIES
The battery pack for this tool is equipped with nickel-cadmium
rechargeable batteries. Length of service from each charging
will depend on the type of work you are doing.
The batteries for this tool have been designed to provide
maximum trouble-free life. However, like all batteries, they
will eventually wear out.
Do not
disassemble battery pack
and attempt to replace the batteries. Handling of these
batteries, especially when wearing rings and jewelry, could
result in a serious burn.
To obtain the longest possible battery life, we suggest the
following:
n
Remove the battery pack from the charger once it is fully
charged and ready for use.
n
Store battery pack removed from the tool.
For battery storage longer than 30 days:
n

WARNING:
Upon removal, cover the battery pack’s termi-
nals with heavy-duty adhesive tape. Do not at-
tempt to destroy or disassemble battery pack or
remove any of its components. Nickel-cadmium
batteries must be recycled or disposed of properly. Also,
never touch both terminals with metal objects and/or
body parts as short circuit may result. Keep away from
children. Failure to comply with these warnings could
result in fire and/or serious injury.
WARNING:
Do not at any time let brake fluids, gasoline, petroleum-
based products, penetrating oils etc., come in contact
with plastic parts. Chemicals can damage, weaken or
destroy plastic which may result in serious personal
injury.
To work properly, the plunger rod of the tool must remain
clean and free of all caulk and adhesive material. If material
does get on the plunger rod mechanism, clean the mate-
rial off according to the directions of the caulk or adhesive
manufacturer.
When the tool is shut off by the electronic overload protection
system, always wait for 3 to 5 seconds before depressing
the trigger for restart. Frequently depressing and releasing
the trigger under these circumstances may cause interior
damage to the caulking gun.
