Battery tools 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 tool or when changing accessories.
Remove battery pack when tool is not in use. Following
this rule will reduce the risk of electric shock, fire, or
serious personal injury.
Do not place battery tools 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.
Following this rule will reduce the risk of electric shock.
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.
Do not use battery-operated appliance in rain.
Exercise care in handling batteries in order not to
short the battery with conducting materials such as
rings, bracelets, and keys. The battery or conductor
may overheat and cause burns
SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES

Avoid Dangerous Environment - Don't use appliances
in damp or wet locations.

was designed.
Store Idle Appliances Indoors - When not in use,
appliances should be stored indoors in dry, and high or
locked-up place - out of reach of children.
Maintain Appliance With Care - Keep clean for best
performance and to reduce the risk of injury. Follow
instructions for changing accessories. Inspect appliance
cord, and if damaged, have it repaired by an authorized
service facility. Keep handles dry, clean, and free from oil
and grease.
Check Damaged Parts - Before further use of the
appliance, a guard or other part that is damaged should
be carefully checked to determine that it will operate
properly and perform its intended function. Check for
alignment of moving parts, binding of moving parts,
breakage of parts, mounting, and any other condition
that may affect its operation. A guard or other part that
is damaged should be properly repaired or replaced by
an authorized service center unless indicated elsewhere
in this manual.
