or has been dropped.

iMPORTANT SAFETY iNSTRUCTiONS

[] Know your product. Read operator's manual

carefully. Learn its applications and limitations, as
well as the specific potential hazards related to
this product. Following this rule will reduce the risk of
electric shock, fire, or serious injury.

[] Battery products do not have to be plugged into

an electrical outlet; therefore, they are always in
operating condition. Be aware of possible hazards
when not using your battery product or when
changing accessories. Following this rule will reduce
the risk of electric shock, fire, or serious personal

injury.

Damage to the cord or charger could occur and create
an electric shock hazard. Replace damaged cords

immediately.

[] Make sure cord is located so that it will not

be stepped on, tripped over, come in contact
with sharp edges or moving parts or otherwise
subjected to damage or stress. This will reduce the

risk of accidental falls, which could cause injury, and
damage to the cord, which could result in electric

shock.

[] Keep cord and charger from heat to prevent

damage to housing or internal parts.

[] Do not let gasoline, oils, petroleum-based products,

etc. come in contact with plastic parts. They contain
chemicals that can damage, weaken, or destroy

plastic.

[] An extension cord should not be used unless

absolutely necessary. Use of improper extension

cord could result in a risk of fire and electric shock. If
extension cord must be used, make sure:
