■

Operate the product on a firm, level surface 

only.

BATTERY TOOL USE AND CARE

■

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 

battery pack.

■

Use power tools only with specifically 

designated battery packs. Use of any other 

battery packs may create a risk of injury 

and fire

■

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 burns or a fire.

■

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.

OPERATION

■

Operate the product only at reasonable 

hours – not early in the morning or late at 

night when people might be disturbed.

Never operate the product in an explosive  

or dusty atmosphere.

■

Avoid using the product in bad weather 

conditions especially when there is a risk 

of lightning.

■

Do not operate the product in poor lighting. 

The operator requires a clear view of the 

work area to identify potential hazards.

■

The use of hearing protection reduces the 

ability to hear warnings (shouts or alarms). 

The operator must pay extra attention to 

what is going on in the working area.

■

Do not get distracted and always 

concentrate on the task. 

■

Operating similar tools nearby increases 

both the risk of hearing injury and the 

potential for other persons to enter the 

working area.

overreach. Overreaching can result in loss 

of balance.
