IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.
4. Keep bystanders, children and visitors away while
operating this product. Distractions can cause you to
lose control.
5. Stay alert. Watch what you are doing, and use
common sense when operating this product. Do not
use this product while tired or under the inuence of
drugs, alcohol, or medication. A moment of inattention
while operating this product may result in serious
personal injury. Keep proper footing and balance at all
times. Do not reach over or across running machines,
hoses, cords, etc.
6. Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry.
Keep your hair, clothing, and gloves away from mov-
ing parts. Loose clothes, jewelry or long hair can be
caught in moving parts.
7. Inspect before every use; do not use if parts are loose
or damaged.
8. Do not alter this product in any way.
9. Use the right tool for the job. Do not attempt to force
a small tool or attachment to do the work of a larger
industrial tool. Don’t use a tool whose performance
is not adequate for your work. Do not modify this tool
and do not use this tool for a purpose for which it was
not intended.
10. Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never
modify the plug in any way. Do not use any
adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools.
Unmodied plugs and matching outlets will reduce
risk of electric shock.
11. Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded
surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges and
refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric
shock if your body is earthed or grounded.
12. Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions.
Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of
electric shock.
13. Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for
carrying, pulling or unplugging the power tool. Keep
cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving
parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase the
risk of electric shock.
14. When operating a power tool outdoors, use an
extension cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of a
cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of
electric shock.
15. If operating a power tool in a damp location is
unavoidable, use a ground fault circuit interrupter
(GFCI) protected supply. Use of a GFCI reduces
the risk of electric shock.
16. Use power tools only with specically designated
battery packs. Use of any other battery packs may
create a risk of injury and re.
17. Before using battery pack, please read carefully
all instructions and cautionary markings on battery
pack, battery charger and product using battery. Do
not incinerate the battery pack even if it is severely
damaged or is completely worn out. The battery
pack can explode.
18. Do not carry battery packs in aprons, pockets, or
tool boxes, product kit boxes, drawers, etc. with
loose metal objects. Battery pack terminals could
be short-circuited causing damage to the battery
pack, severe burns or re.
19. The battery pack is Nickel-Cadmium (Ni-Cad) and
is considered to be a toxic material by the Envi-
ronmental Protection Agency. Before disposing of
damaged or worn out Ni-Cad battery packs, check
with your State Environmental Protection Agency to
nd out about special restrictions on the disposal of
these battery packs.
20. The battery is not fully charged. Before rst use, the
battery pack requires 8-10 hours charge time to be
fully charged. Subsequent recharging needs 3-5
hours for the battery to be fully charged.
21. Always switch to a fresh battery when tool perfor-
mance begins to diminish. Severe heat is most
destructive to a battery; the more heat generated,
the faster the battery loses power. A battery that
gets too hot can have a shortened life.
22. Never over-discharge a battery by using the tool
even after tool performance has decreased. Do not
attempt to discharge a tool’s battery by continuing
to pull on the tool trigger. When tool performance
begins to diminish, stop the tool and recharge the
battery for optimal performance.
23. Ensure the switch is in the off position before insert-
ing battery pack. Charge battery pack at ambient
temperatures between 50° F -104° F. Store tool
and battery pack in locations where temperatures
will not exceed 120°F. This is important to prevent
serious damage to the battery cells.
24. A battery operated tool with integral batteries or
a separate battery pack must be recharged only
with the specied charger for the battery. A charger
that may be suitable for one type of battery may
create a risk of re when used with another battery.
Use battery operated tool only with specically
designated battery pack. Use of any other batteries
may create risk of re.
25. 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
burns or a re.
26. Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected
from the battery; avoid contact. If contact acciden-
tally occurs, ush with water. If liquid contacts eyes,
additionally seek medical help. Liquid ejected from
the battery may cause irritation or burns.
27. Prevent accidental starting. Ensure switch is in the
“OFF” position before connecting to power source
and/or battery pack, picking up or carrying the tool.
