Electrical Safety

• A battery-operated tool 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 a battery-operated tool only with specified battery pack. Use of any other batteries may create a risk of fire.

repaired.

• Disconnect battery pack from tool or place the switch inthe locked or off position before making any adjustments, changing
accessories, or storing the tool. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the tool accidentally.

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

• When battery pack is not in use, keep it away from other metal objects like: paper clips, coins, keys, nails, screws,or other
