ELECTRICAL SAFETY

WARNING! Do not touch or handle a live tool with any part of your body that
is wet or damp. Wet skin reduces resistance to electrical current, increasing
the danger of a serious or fatal shock.
1. Disconnect tool from power source before cleaning, servicing, changing
parts/accessories or when not in use.
2. Protect yourself against electric shocks when working on electrical
equipment. Avoid body contact with grounded surfaces. There is an
increased chance of electrical shock if your body is grounded.
3. Do not alter any parts of the tool or accessories. All parts and
accessories are designed with built-in safety features that may be
compromised if altered.
4. Make certain the power source conforms to requirements of your
equipment (see Specifications).
5. When wiring an electrically driven device, follow all electrical and
safety codes, as well as the most recent Canadian Electrical Code (CE)
and Canadian Centre for Occupational Health and Safety (CCOHS).
WARNING! All wiring should be performed by a qualified electrician.

BATTERY PRECAUTIONS

1. Lead-acid batteries generate oxygen and hydrogen. These gases can be
explosive. Keep batteries well ventilated. Remove any source of
ignition such as an open flame or a tool like a heater from the area.
Sparks may also ignite the gas.
2. Lead batteries contain sulfuric acid, also referred to as electrolyte or
battery acid. The acid is corrosive and can cause a skin burn if leaking
or splashed. The acid may also pose a threat if inhaled or ingested
accidentally. The acid can destroy normal clothing and injure the flesh
underneath. Wear splash-proof goggles and protective clothing when
handling a battery.
3. Batteries are heavy due to the weight of the lead and liquid contained
inside. A lead-acid battery could weigh upwards of 50-60 lbs. Use safe
lifting methods if moving the battery.
UNPACKING
WARNING! Do not operate the tool if any part is missing. Replace the
missing part before operating. Failure to do so could result in a malfunction
and personal injury.
