use may result in risk of re, electric shock or
electrocution.
3. Do not place any object on top of the charger or
place the charger on a soft surface that may result
in excessive internal heat. Place the charger in a
position away from any heat source.
4. To reduce risk of damage to the electric plug and
cord, pull by the plug rather than the cord when
disconnecting the charger.
5. Make sure the cord is located so that it will not be
stepped on, tripped over, or otherwise subjected to
damage or stress.
6. An extension cord should not be used unless
absolutely necessary. Use of an improper extension
cord could result in the risk of re, electric shock or
electrocution.
7. Do not operate the charger if it has received a
sharp blow, been dropped or otherwise damaged
in any way. Have it checked by an electrician or
power tool repairer.
8. Do not disassemble charger. Take it to an electri-
cian or power tool repairer when service or repair is

the tool. Loss of control can cause personal injury.
Hold power tool by insulated gripping
surfaces, when performing an operation
where the cutting accessory may contact
hidden wiring or its own cord. Cutting

masonry products
• Arsenic and chromium from chemically treated timber
Your risk from exposure to these chemicals varies,
depending on how often you do this type of work. To
reduce your exposure to these chemicals: work in a
