WARNING
When servicing, use only identical replacement parts. Use of any other parts may create a hazard or
cause product damage.
To avoid serious personal injury, always remove the battery pack from the tool when cleaning or
performing any maintenance.
GENERAL MAINTENANCE
1. Remove the battery pack.
2. Brush or blow dust and debris out of the air vents using compressed air or a vacuum. Keep the air
vents free of obstructions, sawdust, and wood chips. Do not spray, wash, or immerse the air vents
in water.
3. Wipe off the housing and the plastic components using a clean, dry cloth. Do not use strong
solvents or detergents on the plastic housing or plastic components. Certain household cleaners
may cause damage, and may cause a shock hazard.
4. Clean the blower of any debris and store indoors in a dry, well-ventilated area that is inaccessible to
children.
BATTERY PACK MAINTENANCE
1. Fully charge the battery before placing in storage.
2. Recharge the battery pack whenever there is a noticeable reduction in the performance. Do not
allow the battery pack to become completely discharged.
3. Do not recharge a battery pack that is already fully charged. Overcharging shortens battery life.
4. Once the battery pack is fully charged, remove the battery from the charger and disconnect charger
from the outlet.
5. Do not store the battery pack on the tool or on the charger.
6. If the battery pack is hot, allow it to cool down before recharging.
WARNING
Always wear eye protection with side shields marked to comply with ANSI Z87.1, along with hearing
protection. Failure to do so could result in objects being thrown into your eyes, resulting in possible
serious injury.
