Important Safety Instructions for All 

Integral Battery Tools

WARNING:

Read all safety warnings, instructions, 

and cautionary markings for the battery, USB 

cable and product. Failure to follow the warnings 

and instructions may result in electric shock, fire 

and/or serious injury.

• 

NEVER force a charger cord plug into the tool.

• 

DO NOT modify a charger cord plug in any way to fit 

into the tool as the battery may rupture causing serious 

personal injury.

• 

DO NOT charge or use the battery in explosive 

atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable 

liquids, gases or dust.

 Inserting or removing the USB 

cable plug from the tool may ignite the dust or fumes.

• 

DO NOT

 splash or immerse in water or other liquids.

• 

DO NOT

 allow water or any liquid to enter tool.

• 

DO NOT store or use the tool in locations where the 

temperature may reach or exceed 104 °F (40 °C) (such 

as outside sheds or metal buildings in summer).

 For 

best life store tools in a cool, dry location.

NOTE: Do not store the tool with the switch locked on. 

Never tape the switch in the ON position.

• 

DO NOT incinerate the tool even if it is severely 

damaged or is completely worn out.

 The battery can 

explode in a fire. Toxic fumes and materials are created 
when lithium‑ion batteries are burned.

• 

If battery contents come into contact with the skin, 

immediately wash area with mild soap and water. 

If 

battery liquid gets into the eye, rinse water over the open 
eye for 15 minutes or until irritation ceases. If medical 
attention is needed, the battery electrolyte is composed of a 
mixture of liquid organic carbonates and lithium salts.

• 

Contents of opened battery cells may cause 

respiratory irritation.

 Provide fresh air. If symptoms 

persist, seek medical attention.

• 

Battery liquid may be flammable if exposed to spark 

or flame.

• 

Never attempt to open the tool for any reason. If the 

tool case is cracked or damaged, do not charge.

 Do 

not crush, drop or damage the tool. Do not use a tool or 
charger that has received a sharp blow, been dropped, run 
over or damaged in any way (e.g., pierced with a nail, hit 
with a hammer, stepped on). Damaged tools should be 
returned to the service center for recycling.

BATTERY AND CHARGER

Additional Safety Information

WARNING: 

Never modify the power tool or any part of 

it. Damage or personal injury could result.

WARNING: ALWAYS 

use safety glasses. Everyday 

eyeglasses are NOT safety glasses. Also use face or 

dust mask if cutting operation is dusty. ALWAYS WEAR 

CERTIFIED SAFETY EQUIPMENT:
•  ANSI Z87.1 eye protection (CAN/CSA Z94.3),
•  ANSI S12.6 (S3.19) hearing protection,
•  NIOSH/OSHA/MSHA respiratory protection.

WARNING: 

Some dust created by power sanding, 

sawing, grinding, drilling, and other construction activities 

contains chemicals known to the State of California to 

cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. 

Some examples of these chemicals are:
•  lead from lead‑based paints,
•  crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other 

masonry products, and

•  arsenic and chromium from 

chemically‑treated lumber.

Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on 

how often you do this type of work. To reduce your 

exposure to these chemicals: work in a well ventilated 

area, and work with approved safety equipment, such 

as those dust masks that are specially designed to filter 

out microscopic particles.

• 

Wear protective clothing and wash exposed areas 

with soap and water. 

Allowing dust to get into your 

mouth, eyes, or lay on the skin may promote absorption of 

harmful chemicals. Direct particles away from face and body.

• 

Use the appropriate dust extractor vacuum to remove 

the vast majority of static and airborne dust

. Failure 

to remove static and airborne dust could contaminate the 

working environment or pose an increased health risk to 

the operator and those in close proximity.

• 

Use clamps or other practical ways to secure and 

support the workpiece to a stable platform.

 Holding 

the work by hand or against your body is unstable and may 

lead to loss of control and injury.

• 

Air vents often cover moving parts and should be 

avoided.

 Loose clothes, jewelry or long hair can be caught 

in moving parts.
