• Follow all charging instructions and do not charge
the battery pack or tool outside the temperature
range specified in the instructions. Charging im-
properly or at temperatures outside the specified
range may damage the battery and increase the risk
of fire.

tool. Loss of control during operation can result in per-
sonal injury.
• Keep sleeves and jackets buttoned while operat-
ing the tool. Do not reach across the tool or pipe.
Clothing can be caught by the pipe or the tool resulting
in entanglement.
• Only one person must control the work process
and tool operation. Additional people involved in the
process may result in unintended operation and per-
sonal injury.
• Keep floors dry and free of slippery materials such
