CHILD SAFETY

Tragic accidents can occur if the operator is not aware of the presence of children.

• Keep children out of the working area and under the watchful care of a responsible adult.

• Do not allow children under the age of 14 to operate this unit. Children who are 14 years

of age and older must read and understand the operating instructions and safety rules in this

manual, and must be trained and supervised by a parent.

• Stay alert, and turn the unit off if a child or any other person enters the working area.

• Look behind and down for small children before and while moving backwards.

• Use extreme care when approaching blind corners, doorways, shrubs, trees, or other objects

that may obscure your view of a child who may run into the path of the unit.

BATTERY & CHARGER

BATTERY SAFETY RULES

• Battery tools do not have to be plugged into an electrical outlet; therefore, they are always in

operating condition. Be aware of possible hazards when not using your battery tool or when

changing accessories. Following this rule will reduce the risk of electric shock, fire, or serious

personal injury.

• Do not place battery tools or their batteries near fire or heat. This will reduce the risk of

explosion and possibly injury.

• Do not crush, drop or damage battery pack. Do not use a battery pack or charger that has 

been dropped or received a sharp blow. A damaged battery is subject to explosion. Properly

dispose of a dropped or damaged battery immediately.

• Batteries can explode in the presence of a source of ignition, such as a pilot light. To reduce

the risk of serious personal injury, never use any cordless product in the presence of open 

flame. An exploded battery can propel debris and chemicals. If exposed, flush with water

immediately. Do not charge battery tool in a damp or wet location. Following this rule will reduce 

the risk of electric shock.

• For best results, your battery tool should be charged in a location where the temperature is

more than 45°F but less than 104°F. To reduce the risk of serious personal injury, do not store

outside or in vehicles.

• Under extreme usage or temperature conditions, battery leakage may occur. If liquid comes

in contact with your skin, wash immediately with soap and water. If liquid gets into your eyes,

flush them with clean water for at least 10 minutes, then seek immediate medical attention.

Following this rule will reduce the risk of serious personal injury.

• 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.

• Always remove battery pack from your tool when you are assembling parts, making 

adjustments, cleaning, or when not in use. Removing battery pack will prevent accidental 

starting that could cause serious personal injury.

• Always remove battery pack before storing the device. When battery becomes fully charged,

unplug the charger from the power supply and remove the battery pack from the charger.

• Always wear eye protection with side shields marked to comply with ANSI Z87.1, along with

hearing protection. Failure to do so could result in objects being thrown into your eyes and
