To reduce the risk of electrical shock;
do not expose to rain, do not use on wet surfaces. Store indoors.
Some dust created by this product
contains chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer,
birth defects or other reproductive harm. Some examples of these
chemicals are:
• compounds in fertilizers
• compounds in insecticides, herbicides and pesticides
• arsenic and chromium from chemically treated lumber
To reduce your exposure to these chemicals, wear approved safety
equipment such as dust masks that are specially designed to filter out
microscopic particles.

Make sure your extension cord is in good condition. When using an
extension cord be sure it is heavy enough to carry the current your
product will draw. An undersized extension cord will cause a drop in
line voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating. The following
table shows the correct size to use depending on cord length and
nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge.
The smaller the gauge number, the heavier the cord.

Double insulated tools are constructed throughout with two
separate layers of electrical insulation or one double thickness
of insulation between you and the toolʼs electrical system.
Tools built with this insulation system are not intended to be
grounded. As a result, your tool is equipped with a two prong
plug which permits you to use extension cords without concern
for maintaining a ground connection. Double insulation does
not take the place of normal safety precautions when operating this
tool. The insulation system is for added protection against injury
resulting from a possible electrical insulation failure within the tool.
REPLACEMENT PARTS: When servicing all tools, USE IDENTICAL
REPLACEMENT PARTS. Repair or replace damaged cords.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS:
Under certain conditions, with the charger plugged in to
the power supply, the charger can be shorted by foreign material.
Foreign materials of a conductive nature such as, but not limited to,
steel wool, aluminum foil, or any buildup of metallic particles should be
kept away from charger cavities. Always unplug the charger from the
power supply when there is no battery pack in the cavity. Unplug
charger before attempting to clean.

•
Use of improper extension cord could result in risk of
fire, electric shock, or electrocution.
•
The smaller the gauge number
of the wire, the greater the capacity of the cable, that is 16 gauge
has more capacity than 18 gauge. When using more than one
extension to make up the total length, be sure each individual
extension contains at least the minimum wire size.
•
Place the charger in a
position away from any heat source. The charger is ventilated
through slots in the top and the sides of the housing.
•
The charger is intended to use on a flat, stable
surface (i.e., table top, bench top).
