IMPORTANT SAFETY RULES FOR BATTERY
TOOLS
■
Battery tools do not have to be plugged into an electrical
outlet; therefore, they are always in an operating
condition. Be aware of possible hazards when carrying
your battery tool, when making adjustments to it, or
when changing accessories.
■
USE ONLY THE CHARGER PROVIDED WITH YOUR
BATTERY TOOL.
Do not substitute any other charger.
Use of another charger could cause batteries to explode
causing possible serious injury.
■
DO NOT PLACE BATTERY TOOLS OR THEIR
BATTERIES NEAR FIRE OR HEAT.
They may explode.
■
DO NOT CHARGE BATTERY TOOL IN A DAMP OR
WET LOCATION.
■
Your battery tool should be charged in a location where
the temperature is more than 50
°
F but less than 100
°
F.
■
Under extreme usage or temperature conditions, battery
leakage may occur. If liquid comes in contact with your
skin, wash immediately with soap and water, then
neutralize with lemon juice or vinegar. If liquid gets in
your eyes, flush them with clean water for at least 10
minutes, then seek immediate medical attention.
■
If carrying your battery tool at your side, make sure it is
not running and your finger is not on the switch. Avoid
accidental starting.
■
SECURE WORK
before applying power.
NEVER
hold
workpiece in your hand or across your legs.
■
WHEN SERVICING USE ONLY IDENTICAL
REPLACEMENT PARTS.
