Important Safety Instructions for All Battery Packs

When ordering replacement battery packs, be sure to include the catalog number and

voltage. Consult the chart at the end of this manual for compatibility of chargers and

battery packs.
The battery pack is not fully charged out of the carton. Before using the battery pack

and charger, read the safety instructions below and then follow charging procedures

outlined.

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS

• Do not charge or use the battery pack in explosive atmospheres, such as in the

presence of flammable liquids, gases or dust. Inserting or removing the battery

pack from the charger may ignite the dust or fumes.

•

Air vents often cover moving parts and should be avoided.

Loose clothes,

jewellery or long hair can be caught in moving parts.

•

Do not operate this tool for long periods of time.

Vibration caused by tool action

may be harmful to your hands and arms. Use gloves to provide extra cushion

and limit exposure by taking frequent rest periods.

WARNING:

We recommend the use of a residual current device with a residual

current rating of 30mA or less.

WARNING: ALWAYS wear approved protective safety equipment complying with

the following standards:

•  Eye protection: AS/NZS1337 Eye Protectors for Industrial Applications;
•  Hearing protection: AS/NZS1270 Acoustics – Hearing Protection;
•  Respiratory protection: AS/NZS1716 Respiratory Protective Devices.

WARNING:

Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and

other construction activities contains chemicals known 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.
•

Avoid prolonged contact with dust from power sanding, sawing, grinding,

drilling, and other construction activities. 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.

WARNING:

Use of this tool can generate and/or disburse dust, which may cause

serious and permanent respiratory or other injury. Always use approved AS/NZS1716
