GENERAL SAFETY RULES

WARNING!
READ THESE INSTRUCTIONS. Failure to follow
all instructions listed below, may result in electric
shock, fire and/or serious personal injury.
KEEP THESE INSTRUCTIONS
HEED ALL WARNINGS
FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS
WORK AREA
 Keep your work area clean and well lit. Cluttered
benches and dark areas invite accidents.
 Do not operate products in explosive atmospheres,
such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases,
or dust. Products create sparks which may ignite the
dust or fumes.

ELECTRICAL SAFETY

 A battery operated product with integral batteries or
a separate battery pack must be recharged only with
the specified charger for the battery. A charger that
may be suitable for one type of battery may create a risk
of fire when used with another battery.
 Use battery operated product only with specifically
designated battery pack. Use of any other batteries
may create a risk of fire.
 For use with 18 V nickel-cadmium and 18 V lithium-
ion battery packs, see tool/appliance/battery pack/
charger correlation supplement 988000-302.

PERSONAL SAFETY

 Do not use on a ladder or unstable support. Stable
footing on a solid surface enables better control of the
product in unexpected situations.
 Disconnect battery pack from product or place the
switch in the locked or off position before making
any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing
the product. Such preventive safety measures reduce
the risk of starting the product accidentally.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
PRODUCT USE AND CARE
 Do not use product if switch does not turn it on or
off. A product that cannot be controlled with the switch
is dangerous and must be repaired.
 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 sparks, burns,
or a fire.
 Keep the radio and its handle dry, clean and free
from oil and grease. Always use a clean cloth when
cleaning. Never use brake fluids, gasoline, petroleum-
based products, or any strong solvents to clean the radio.
Following this rule will reduce the risk of loss of control
and deterioration of the enclosure plastic.
