WARNING!
READ THESE INSTRUCTIONS. Failure
to follow all instructions listed below, may result in
electric shock, fire and/or serious personal injury.
KEEP THESE INSTRUCTIONS
HEED ALL WARNINGS
FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS
 Do not use this apparatus near water.
 Clean only with dry cloth.
 Do not block any ventilation openings. Install in
accordance with the manufacturer's instructions.
 Do not install near any heat sources such as
radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other apparatus
(including amplifiers) that produce heat.
 Only use attachments/accessories specified by the
manufacturer.
 Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.
Servicing is required when the apparatus has been
damaged in any way, such as liquids has been spilled
or objects have fallen into the apparatus, the apparatus
has been exposed to rain or moisture, does not
operate normally, or has been dropped.
 When servicing a product, use only identical
replacement parts. Follow instructions in the
Maintenance section of this manual. Use of
unauthorized parts or failure to follow Maintenance
instructions may create a risk of shock or injury.
 Know your product. Read operator's manual
carefully. Learn its applications and limitations, as
well as the specific potential hazards related to
this product. Following this rule will reduce the risk of
electric shock, fire, or serious injury.
 Do not operate products in explosive atmospheres,
such as in the presence of flammable liquids,
gases, or dust. Products create sparks which may
ignite the dust or fumes.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
 A battery operated product with integral batteries
or a separate battery pack must be recharged only
with the specified charger for the battery. A charger
that may be suitable for one type of battery may create
a risk of fire when used with another battery.
 Use battery operated product only with specifically
designated battery pack. Use of any other batteries
may create a risk of fire.
 Use battery only with charger listed. For use with
19.2V nickel-cadmium and 19.2V lithium-ion battery
packs, see tool/appliance/battery pack/charger
correlation supplement 988000-272.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

PERSONAL SAFETY
 Do not use on a ladder or unstable support. Stable
footing on a solid surface enables better control of the
product in unexpected situations.
 Do not use the radio to listen to music or other
audio programs while operating machinery. Doing
so may cause distractions that could result in serious
personal injury.
 This radio is capable of producing sound levels that
can be dangerous to long-term hearing. Listening to
music at high volume for any period of time may cause
noise-induced hearing loss. The higher the volume, the
less time required before your hearing may be affected.
PRODUCT USE AND CARE
 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.
 Keep the radio and its handle dry, clean and free
from oil and grease. Always use a clean cloth when
cleaning. Never use brake fluids, gasoline, petroleum-
based products, or any strong solvents to clean the
radio. Following this rule will reduce the risk of loss of
control and deterioration of the enclosure plastic.
 Battery products 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 product or when
changing accessories. Following this rule will reduce
the risk of electric shock, fire, or serious personal
injury.
 Do not place battery products 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 product in a damp or wet
location. Following this rule will reduce the risk of
electric shock.
