WARNING! DO NOT let comfort or familiarity with product (gained from repeated use) replace strict adherence to the tool safety rules. If you use this tool unsafely or incorrectly, you can suffer serious personal injury.
BATTERY SAFETY
WARNING! Only charge a battery with a charger designed for that purpose. Do not use modified chargers or a charger that does not specify the voltage, amperage or recharge rate. Improper charging can lead to battery rupturing.
WARNING! Do not charge a damaged or frozen battery. Contact your local municipality for proper disposal procedures.
Consult the Safety Data Sheet (SDS) for your battery before use or maintenance.

1. Do not expose the battery to heat or throw it in a fire. The contents are flammable and the battery may explode. Remove any source of ignition such as an open flame or a tool like a heater from the area.
2. Do not inhale smoke issuing from a burning battery, as it is toxic.
3. Do not disassemble or crush the battery as the contents are corrosive and flammable. Exposure may cause an injury. There is a risk of escaping hazardous vapors. These vapors can irritate the respiratory track. Always ensure proper ventilation and immediately consult a doctor, if you feel unwell.
4. Even a discharged battery may still carry a charge. To prevent a shock, place battery terminal caps or covers over the terminal to prevent accidental contact. Hold the battery by the bottom if moving the battery to a different location.
5. A battery-operated tool with internal batteries or with a separate battery pack must only be powered by the battery. Do not mix different brands of tools and batteries or use adapters to allow you to use a battery pack with a different voltage. This can damage the tool’s electrical mechanism and create a fire hazard.
6. Leaking battery fluid can cause irritation of the skin or burns. If contact should occur, flush immediately with water. In case of accidental contact with the eyes, seek medical aid.
7. Do not disconnect from the power source in place of using the ON/OFF switch on the tool. This can lead to an accidental startup when the tool is connected to the power supply.
8. Do not allow a rechargeable battery to fully discharge. This will damage the battery. Recharge the battery as soon as possible.
9. Do not store the battery completely discharged. Charge it fully before storing. Recharge occasionally if storing for a long time.
10. Discontinue using or charging a li-ion battery if it changes shape or is abnormally hot. The battery may leak or ignite. Move the battery to a fire proof location and observe for 15 minutes. Safely dispose of the battery.

CHARGER PRECAUTIONS

WARNING! Voltage is present at the charging terminals, do not probe with conductive objects. Electric shock or electrocution may result. A battery short can cause a large current flow, overheating, possible burns and even a breakdown of the tool.

1. Only use the included battery charger to recharge the battery. Other chargers may be unsafe, causing an electrical short circuit or fire.
2. Disconnect the charger from its power source before attaching or removing batteries or battery clamps.
3. Charge the battery in a well-ventilated area and never obstruct the vents in the top and bottom of the charger. Place the charger on a flat nonflammable surface and away from flammable materials when re-charging the battery.
4. Do not place any object on top of the charger or place the charger on a soft surface that may result in excessive internal heat. Place the charger in a position away from any heat source.
5. Charge the battery at rates recommended by the battery manufacturer.
6. Make sure the polarity symbols on the battery lines up with the polarity symbols of the charger. A battery inserted backwards may explode causing fire and/or injury.
7. Do not use the charger with an extension cord. This can cause a low voltage outage during charging.
8. Do not charge leaking batteries. A compromised casing will release volatile chemicals and gases. Charging a leaking battery can cause a fire or explosion.
9. Do not operate the charger if it has received a sharp blow, been dropped or otherwise damaged in any way. Have it serviced or replaced.

ELECTRICAL SAFETY
WARNING! Do not touch or handle a live tool with any part of your body that is wet or damp. Wet skin reduces resistance to electrical current, increasing the danger of a serious or fatal shock.
WARNING! To reduce risk of electric shock, be certain that the plug is connected to a properly grounded receptacle.

1. Do not alter any parts of the tool or accessories. All parts and accessories are designed with built-in safety features that may be compromised if altered.
2. Protect yourself against electric shocks when working on electrical equipment. Avoid body contact with grounded surfaces. There is an increased chance of electrical shock if your body is grounded.
3. Do not expose the battery charger to rain, snow, frost or any other damp or wet conditions. Water entering a tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
4. Make certain the power source conforms to requirements of your equipment (see Specifications).
5. This tool is equipped with a 115V three-prong grounded power supply cord and plug. Check with a qualified electrician if you are in doubt as to whether the outlet is properly grounded. If the tool should electronically malfunction or break down, grounding provides a low resistance path to carry electricity away from the user.
   a. Never remove the grounding prong or modify the plug in any way, as this will render the tool unsafe.
   b. Do not use any adapter plugs.

POWER CORD SAFETY

1. Insert the power cord plug directly to the power supply whenever possible. Use extension cords or surge protectors only when the tool’s power cord cannot reach a power supply from the work area.
   a. When operating a tool outside, use an outdoor extension cord marked W-A or W. These cords are rated for outdoor use and reduce the risk of electric shock.
   b. Use in conjunction with a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI). It is recommended that the GFCI should have a rated residual current of 30 mA or less.

2. Do not operate this tool if the power cord is frayed, damaged or poorly spliced, as an electric shock may occur, resulting in personal injury or property damage.

3. Discontinue use if a power cord feels more than comfortably warm while operating the tool.

4. Keep all connections dry and off the ground to reduce the risk of electric shock. Do not touch the plug or wiring with wet hands.

5. Prevent damage to the power cord by observing the following:
   a. Do not pull on the cord to disconnect the plug from an outlet.
   b. Keep the cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts.

6. Position the cord so it is not stepped on, tripped over or otherwise subjected to damage or stress.

7. Do not wrap the cord around the tool, as sharp edges may cut insulation or cause cracks if wound too tight. Gently coil cord and either hang on a hook or fasten with a device to keep cord together during storage.

8. Do not run the cord under carpeting or cover with throw rugs, runners or similar coverings. Covering that cord may result in the tool overheating and starting a fire.

UNPACKING

WARNING! Do not operate the tool if any part is missing. Replace the missing part before operating. Failure to do so could result in a malfunction and personal injury.
Remove the parts and accessories from the packaging and inspect for damage.
