of untrained users.

m When battery pack is not in use, keep it away from

other metal objects Jike: paper clips, coins, keys,

naris, screws, or other small metal objects that can
make a connection from one terminal to another.

Shorting the battery terminals together may cause

sparks, burns, or a fire.

m Maintain tooJs with care. Keep cutting tools sharp

and cJean. Properly maintained tools with sharp cutting

edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control

m Check for misa_ignment or binding of moving parts,

breakage of parts, and any other condition that may

affect the tool's operation, ff damaged, have the too_
serviced before using. Marly accidents are caused by

poorly maintained tools.

operating condition. Be aware of possible hazards

when not using your battery tool or when changing
accessories. Following this rule will reduce the risk of

electric shock, fire, or serious personal injury.

m Do not place battery tools or their batteries near fire

or heat. This will reduce the risk of explosion and

possibly injury.

m Batteries vent hydrogen gas and can explode in the

presence of a source of ignition, such as a pilot light.
To reduce the risk of serious personal injury, never use
any cordless product in the presence of open flame. An

exploded battery can propel debris and chemicals. If

exposed, flush with water

m Do not charge battery tool in a damp or wet loca-

tion. Following this rule will reduce the risk of electric
shock.

m For best results, your battery tooJ should be charged

in a location where the temperature is more than 50°F

but less than 100°F. Do not store outside or in
vehicles.

m Under e×treme usage or temperature conditions,

battery leakage may occur, ff liquid comes in
contact with your skin, wash immediately with soap
and water, then neutraJize with lemon juice or

vinegar. If liquid gets into your eyes, flush them
with dean water for at Jeast 10 minutes, then seek

personal injury.

• Before using battery charger, read all instructions and
cautionary markings in this manual, on battery charger,

battery, and product using battery to prevent misuse of
the products and possible injury or damage.

• CAUTION: To reduce the risk of electric shock or
damage to the charger and battery, charge only nickel-
cadmium or nickel metal hydride rechargeable batteries

as specifically designated on your charger. Other types
of batteries may burst, causing personal injury or

damage.

• Never use a battery that has been dropped or received
a sharp blow. Adamaged battery is subject to explosion.

Properly dispose of a dropped or damaged battery
immediately.

• Do not expose charger to wet or damp conditions. Water
entering charger will increase the risk of electric shock.

• Do not use any attachment or accessory not
recommended by the battery charger manufacturer.

Attachments and accessories that may be suitable for
one tool may become hazardous when used on another
tool.

• Do not abuse cord or charger. Never use the cord to
carry the charger. Do not pull the charger cord rather

than the plug when disconnecting from receptacle.
Damage to the cord or charger could occur and create

an electric shock hazard. Replace damaged cords
immediately.

m An extension cord should not be used unless abso-

lutely necessary. Use of improper extension cord
could result in a risk of fire and electric shock. If

extension cord must be used, make sure:
a. That pins on plug of extension cord are the

same number, size and shape as those of
plug on charger.

b. That extension cord is properly wired and in

good electrical conditionl and

c. That wire size is large enough for AC ampere

rating of charger as specified below:
Cord Length (Feet) 25' 50' 100'

Cord Size (AWG) 16 16 16
Note: AWG = American Wire Gage

• 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 an undersized cord will result in a
drop in line voltage, resulting in loss of power and
overheating,

• Do not operate charger with a damaged cord or plug,
which could cause shorting and electric shock. If
damaged, have the charger replaced by an authorized

serviceman,

• Do not operate charger if it has received a sharp blow,
been dropped, or otherwise damaged in any way, Take

it to an authorized serviceman for electrical check to
determine if the charger is in good working order.

• Do not disassemble charger, Take it to an authorized
serviceman when service or repair is required. Incorrect
reassembly may result in a risk of electric shock or fire,

• Unplug charger from outlet before attempting any
maintenance or cleaning to reduce the risk of electric

shock,

• Disconnect charger from the power supply when not in
use, This will reduce the risk of electric shock or damage
to the charger if metal items should fall into the opening,

It also will help prevent damage to the charger during a

power surge,

use them to instruct others who may use this tool. If you
loan someone this tool, loan them these instructions also
to prevent misuse of the product and possible injury.

WARNING: Some dust created by power sanding,
sawing, grinding, drilling, and other construction
activities contains chemicals known to cause cancer,

birth defects or other reproductive harm. Some
examples of these chemicals are:

o lead from bad-based paints,
o crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other

masonry products, and
o arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated

lumber.

Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on

how often you do this type of work. To reduce your
exposure to these chemicals: work in a well ventilated

area, and work with approved safety equipment, such as
those dust masks that are specially designed to filter out

microscopic particles.
