SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
WORK AREA
 Keep your work area clean and well lit. Cluttered
benches and dark areas invite accidents.
 Keep bystanders, children, and visitors away while
operating an handheld inflator. Distractions can
cause you to lose control.
 Operate product in an open area at least 18 in.
away from any wall or object that could restrict the
flow of fresh air to ventilation openings.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
 A battery operated tool 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 handheld inflator 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 supple-
ment 988000-272.
PERSONAL SAFETY
 Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use
common sense when operating an handheld infla-
tor. Do not use handheld inflator while tired or un-
der the influence of drugs, alcohol, or medication. A
moment of inattention while operating handheld inflator
may result in serious personal injury.
 Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or
jewelry. Contain long hair. Keep your hair, clothing,
and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes,
jewelry, or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
 Avoid accidental starting. Be sure switch is in the
locked or off position before inserting battery pack.
Carrying handheld inflators with your finger on the
switch or inserting the battery pack into an handheld
inflator with the switch on invites accidents.
 Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance
at all times. Proper footing and balance enable better
control of the handheld inflator in unexpected situations.

GENERAL SAFETY RULES

3 - English
 Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection.
Dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing
protection must be used for appropriate conditions.
 Eye protection is required to guard against flying
fasteners and debris which could cause severe eye
injury.
 Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Contain long
hair. Loose clothes, jewelry, or long hair can be drawn
into air vents.
 Do not use on a ladder or unstable support. Stable
footing on a solid surface enables better control of the
handheld inflator in unexpected situations.
TOOL USE AND CARE
 Do not force the tool. Use the correct tool for your
application. The correct tool will do the job better and
safer at the rate for which it is designed.
 Check hoses for weak or worn condition before
each use, making certain all connections are se-
cure. Do not use if defect is found. Purchase a new
hose or notify an authorized service center for exami-
nation or repair.
 Release all pressures within the system slowly. Dust
and debris may be harmful.
 Do not use handheld inflator if switch does not turn it
on or off. A handheld inflator that cannot be controlled
with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
 Disconnect battery pack from handheld inflator or
place the switch in the locked or off position before
making any adjustments, changing accessories, or
storing the handheld inflator. Such preventive safety
measures reduce the risk of starting the handheld infla-
tor accidentally.
 Store idle handheld inflators out of reach of chil-
dren and other untrained persons. Handheld inflators
are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
 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.
 Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts,
breakage of parts, and any other condition that may
affect the handheld inflator's operation. If damaged,
have the handheld inflator serviced before using.
Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained tools.
 Use only accessories that are recommended by the
manufacturer for your model. Accessories that may
be suitable for one handheld inflator may create a risk
of injury when used on another handheld inflator.
