SAFETY

4) Power Tool Use and Care 

a) Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for your application. The correct power tool will do the

job better and safer at the rate for which it was designed.

b) Remove the battery pack from the power tool before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing

power tools. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.

c) Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and do not allow persons unfamiliar with the power tool or

these instructions to operate the power tool.  Power tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.

d) Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any other

condition that may affect the power tool’s operation. If damaged, have the power tool repaired before use. Many
accidents are caused by poorly maintained power tools.

e) Use the power tool, dies, accessories, etc. in accordance with these instructions, taking into account the

working conditions and the work to be performed. Use of the power tool for operations different from those
intended could result in a hazardous situation.

5) Battery Tool Use and Care 

a) Recharge only with the charger specified by the manufacturer. A charger that is suitable for one type of battery

pack may create a risk of fire when used with another type of battery pack.

b) Use power tools only with specifically designated battery packs. Use of any other battery packs may create a

risk of injury and fire.

c) 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 connection from one terminal to another. Shorting the
battery terminals together may cause burns or a fire.

d) Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from the battery; avoid contact.  If contact accidentally occurs,

flush with water. If liquid contacts eyes, additionally seek medical help. Liquid ejected from the battery may
cause irritation or burns.

6) Service

a) Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair person using only identical replacement parts. This will

ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.  Contact Klein Tools for authorized service centers.

7) Additional Specific Safety Rules

ALWAYS use safety glasses. Everyday eyeglasses are NOT safety glasses. 

8) Equipment
