GENERAL SAFETY RULES
READ AND UNDERSTAND BEFORE USING

!WARNING! Read and understand the user manual instructions. Failure

to follow all instructions listed below may result in electric shock, fire
and/or serious personal injury.

WORK AREA

1. Keep your work area clean and well lit. Cluttered benches and dark
areas invite accidents.

2. Do not use power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the
presence of flammable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create
sparks, which may ignite the dust and fumes.

3. Keep bystanders, children and visitors away while operating a
power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.

PERSONAL SAFETY

1. Stay alert, watch what you are doing, and use common sense when
operating a power tool. Do not use tool while tired or under the
influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention
while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.

2. Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Keep your
hair, clothing and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes,
jewelry, or long hair can be caught in moving parts.

3. Avoid accidental starting. Be sure switch is in the OFF position
before inserting battery pack. Carrying tools with your finger on the
switch invites accidents.

4. Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection. Dust mask,
non-skid safety shoes, hardhat or hearing protection must be used
for appropriate conditions.

TOOL USE AND CARE

1. Use clamps or other practical ways to secure and support the work
piece to a stable platform. Holding the work by hand or against your
body is unstable and may lead to loss of control.

2. Do not force tool. Use the correct tool for your application. The cor­rect tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it is
designed.

3. Do not use tool if switch does not turn on or off. A tool that cannot
be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.

4. Disconnect battery pack from tool or place the switch in the locked
or off position before starting of the tool to ensure no accidental
starting.

5. Store idle tools out of reach of children and other untrained persons.
Tools are dangerous in the hand of untrained users.

6. 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 connections from one terminal to
another. Shorting the battery terminals together may cause sparks,
burns or a fire.

7. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of
parts, and any other conditions that may affect the tool’s operation.
If damaged, have the tool serviced before using. Many accidents
are caused by poorly maintained tools.

8. Use only accessories that are recommend by the manufactured for
your model. Accessories that may be suitable for one tool may cre­ate a risk of injury when used on another tool.

IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

SERVICE

1. Tool service must be performed only by qualified repair personnel.
Service or maintenance performed by unqualified personnel may
result in a risk of injury.

2. Accessories must be rated for at least the speed recommended on

the tool warning label. Wheels and other accessories running over
rated speed can fly apart and cause injury.

CHARGING THE BATTERY
Caution: Charge only 18 Volt battery packs with your charger

supplied in this HOME RIGHT® kit, other types may burst causing dam­age or personal injury.

• Plug the charger into a 120V AC power source and insert the bat­tery pack into the charger receptacle pocket. Make sure that the
polarity rib in the battery pack is aligned with the polarity slot in
the charger. There are plus and minus symbols on either side of
the battery pack that designate the polarity of the terminals. These
symbols are on the same sides as their respective symbols on your
charger. In order for the charger to work properly the pack must
be fully inserted into the charger receptacle pocket. When fully
inserted into the pocket a light will come on.

• Charge your batteries only with the HOME RIGHT supplied battery
charger.

• Use only (120 volts, 60 HZ AC only) regular household voltage.

• Don’t charge battery pack when temperature is below 10°C (50°F)
or above 40°C (104°F).

• Don’t attempt to use a step-up transformer, an engine generator or
DC power receptacle.

• Don’t allow anything to cover or clog the charger vents.

• Before connecting the charger to a power source (receptacle
or outlet), be certain the voltage supplied is the same as power
requirements specified on the charger. Mismatched voltage source
can result in serious injury to the user. When in doubt, don’t plug in
the charger.

• Don’t operate charger if damaged in any way. Don’t operate charger
with damaged cord. Return product to factory. To prevent damage
to cord when disconnecting charger from power source, grip plug
body when removing it from a receptacle.

• Unplug charger from outlet before attempting maintenance or
cleaning.

• Don’t substitute charger of any other type. Doing so may result in
risk of electrical shock, fire or injury to persons.

• Keep charger free of foreign matter.

• Your new battery pack is not fully charged when received; therefore,
charging is necessary prior to use.

• When not in use the battery pack can be left on charger (indicated
by the red light) without any adverse effect; the batteries can­not be “over-charged”. However, if the battery pack is not going
to be used for an extended period of time the charger should be
unplugged from its power source.

• If you need to charge more than one battery pack, allow 15
minutes between charges.
