GENERAL SAFETY RULES
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING!
READ THESE INSTRUCTIONS. Failure to follow
all instructions listed below, may result in electric
shock, fire and/or serious personal injury.
KEEP THESE INSTRUCTIONS
HEED ALL WARNINGS
FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS
WORK AREA
Keep your work area clean and well lit. Cluttered
benches and dark areas invite accidents.
Do not operate products in explosive atmospheres,
such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases,
or dust. Products create sparks which may ignite the
dust or fumes.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
A battery operated product with integral batteries or
a separate battery pack must be recharged only with
the specified charger for the battery. A charger that
may be suitable for one type of battery may create a risk
of fire when used with another battery.
Use battery operated product only with specifically
designated battery pack. Use of any other batteries
may create a risk of fire.
Use this product only with batteries and chargers listed
in tool/appliance/battery pack/charger correlation
supplement 988000-302.
PERSONAL SAFETY
Do not use on a ladder or unstable support. Stable
footing on a solid surface enables better control of the
product in unexpected situations.
Disconnect battery pack from product or place the
switch in the locked or off position before making
any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing
the product. Such preventive safety measures reduce
the risk of starting the product accidentally.
PRODUCT USE AND CARE
Do not use product if switch does not turn it on or
off. A product that cannot be controlled with the switch
is dangerous and must be repaired.
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 connection from one terminal to another. Shorting
the battery terminals together may cause sparks, burns,
or a fire.
Keep the radio and its handle dry, clean and free
from oil and grease. Always use a clean cloth when
cleaning. Never use brake fluids, gasoline, petroleumbased products, or any strong solvents to clean the radio.
Following this rule will reduce the risk of loss of control
and deterioration of the enclosure plastic.
Do not use this apparatus near water.
Clean only with dry cloth.
Do not block any ventilation openings. Install in
accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.
Do not install near any heat sources such as radiators,
heat registers, stoves, or other apparatus (including
amplifiers) that produce heat.
Only use attachments/accessories specified by the
manufacturer.
SERVICE
Product service must be performed only by qualified
repair personnel. Service or maintenance performed by
unqualified personnel may result in a risk of injury.
When servicing a product, use only identical
replacement parts. Follow instructions in the
Maintenance section of this manual. Use of unauthorized
parts or failure to follow Maintenance instructions may
create a risk of shock or injury.
Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.
Servicing is required when the apparatus has been
damaged in any way, such as power-supply cord or plug
is damaged, liquid has been spilled or objects have fallen
into the apparatus, the apparatus has been exposed to
rain or moisture, does not operate normally, or has been
dropped.

SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES
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.
Do not place battery products or their batteries near
fire or heat. This will reduce the risk of explosion and
possibly injury.
Do not crush, drop or damage battery pack. Do not
use a battery pack or charger that has been dropped
or received a sharp blow. A damaged battery is subject
to explosion. Properly dispose of a dropped or damaged
battery immediately.
Batteries 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
immediately.
Do not charge battery tool in a damp or wet location.
Do not use, store, or charge battery packs or products
in locations where the temperature is less than 50°F
or more than 100°F. Do not store outside or in vehicles.
Under extreme usage or temperature conditions,
battery leakage may occur. If liquid comes in contact
with your skin, wash immediately with soap and water.
If liquid gets into your eyes, flush them with clean
water for at least 10 minutes, then seek immediate
medical attention. Following this rule will reduce the risk
of serious personal injury.
To reduce the risk of personal injury and electric
shock, the product should not be played with or
placed where small children can reach it.
To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not expose to
water or rain.
Do not use the radio to listen to music or other audio
programs while operating machinery. Doing so may
cause distractions that could result in serious personal
injury.
This radio is capable of producing sound levels that
can be dangerous to long-term hearing. Listening to
music at high volume for any period of time may cause
noise-induced hearing loss. The higher the volume, the
less time required before your hearing may be affected.
Save these instructions. Refer to them frequently and
use them to instruct others who may use this product. If
you loan someone this product, loan them these instructions also.
