15. Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use
common sense when operating an appliance.
Do not use an appliance while you are tired or
under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication.
A moment of inattention while operating
appliances may result in serious personal injury.
16. Maintain labels and nameplates
on the appliance. These carry important safety
information. If unreadable or missing, contact
Harbor Freight Tools for a replacement.
17. People with pacemakers should consult their
physician(s) before use. Electromagnetic fields in
close proximity to heart pacemaker could cause
pacemaker interference or pacemaker failure.
18. The warnings, precautions, and instructions
discussed in this instruction manual cannot cover all
possible conditions and situations that may occur.
It must be understood by the operator that
common sense and caution are factors
which cannot be built into this product,
but must be supplied by the operator.
19. Battery appliance use and care
a. prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the
switch is in the off-position before connecting
to battery pack, picking up or carrying the
appliance. Carrying the appliance with your
finger on the switch or energizing appliance
that have the switch on invites accidents.
b. 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.
c. use appliances only with specifically
designated battery packs. Use of any other
battery packs may create a risk of injury and fire.
d. 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.
Item 64148 For technical questions, please call 1-888-866-5797.
e. 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.
f. Do not use a battery pack or appliance that
is damaged or modified. Damaged or modified
batteries may exhibit unpredictable behavior
resulting in fire, explosion or risk of injury.
g. Do not expose a battery pack or appliance
to fire or excessive temperature.
Exposure to fire or temperature above
265°F may cause explosion.
h. Follow all charging instructions and do
not charge the battery pack or appliance
outside of the temperature range specified
in the instructions. Charging improperly or at
temperatures outside of the specified range may
damage the battery and increase the risk of fire.
i. Have servicing performed by a qualified
repair person using only identical
replacement parts. This will ensure that
the safety of the product is maintained.
j. Do not modify or attempt to repair the
appliance or the battery pack except as
indicated in the instructions for use and care.
k. The battery Charger gets hot during
use. The Charger's heat can build up
to unsafe levels and create a fire
hazard if it does not receive adequate
ventilation, due to an electrical fault, or if it is
used in a hot environment. Do not place the
Charger on a flammable surface. Do not
obstruct any vents on the Charger.
Especially avoid placing the charger on
carpets and rugs; they are not only
flammable, but they also obstruct vents
under the charger. Place the Charger on a
stable, solid, nonflammable surface (such as a
stable metal workbench or concrete floor) at
least 1 foot away from all flammable objects,
such as drapes or walls. Keep a fire
extinguisher and a smoke detector in the area.
Frequently monitor the Charger and
Battery Pack while charging.
