RULES FOR SAFE OPERATION
Page 4
SERVICE
•
Service on unit must be performed only by quali-
fied repair personnel. Service or maintenance
performed by unqualified personnel could result in
a risk of injury to the user, or damage to the unit.
It may also void your warranty.
•
When servicing a unit, use only identical replace-
ment parts. Follow instruction in the Maintenance
section of this manual. Use of unauthorized parts
or failure to follow Maintenance Instructions may
create a risk of shock or serious injury to the user,
or damage to the unit. It may also void your
warranty.
BATTERY SAFETY
•
Battery operated units do not have to be plugged
into an electrical outlet; therefore, they are always
in operating condition. Be aware of possible
hazards even when unit is not operating.
•
Remove the battery pack before making any
adjustments, cleaning, storing, or removing mate-
rial from the unit, or when not in use.
•
A battery pack must be recharged only with the
specified charger for the battery pack. A charger
that may be suitable for one type of battery pack
may create a risk of fire when used with another
battery pack. Use battery pack only with charger
listed.
BATTERY PACK:
CHARGER:
•
To reduce the risk of explosion and possible injury,
DO NOT place battery units or their batteries near
fire or heat.
•
Do not open or mutilate the battery pack. Re-
leased electrolyte is corrosive and may cause
damage to the eyes or skin. It may be toxic if
swallowed.
•
Batteries vent hydrogen gas and 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 pack can propel debris
and chemical. If exposed, flush with water immedi-
ately.
•
Do not charge unit in a damp or wet location. Following
this rule will reduce the risk of electric shock.
