ALWAYS check the tool for damaged parts. Before further use of the tool, a guard or other part that
is damaged should be carefully checked to determine whether it will operate properly and perform
its intended function. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, broken parts and any other
condition that may affect the tool's operation. A guard or other part that is damaged should be properly
repaired or replaced by a qualified person.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS. Refer to them frequently and use them to instruct others who may use
this tool. If someone borrows this tool, make sure he or she has these instructions also.
SAFETY RULES FOR BATTERY PACK AND CHARGER
•
If the battery pack casing is cracked or damaged, do not insert into charger. There is a danger of
electric shock or electrocution.
•
Don't allow any liquid to get inside charger. Electric shock may result. To facilitate cooling of the battery
pack after use, avoid placing the charger or battery pack in a warm environment such as in a metal
shed, or a trailer that is not insulated.
•
This charger is not intended for any uses other than charging rechargeable batteries. Any other use
may result in risk of fire, electric shock or electrocution.
•
Do not place any object on top of the charger or place the charger on a soft surface that may result in
excessive internal heat. Do not place the charger near any heat source.
•
To reduce the potential risk of damage to the electric plug and cord, pull by the plug rather than the
cord when disconnecting the charger from the power supply.
•
Make sure the cord is located so it will not be stepped on, tripped over, or otherwise subjected to
damage or stress.
•
An extension cord should not be used unless absolutely necessary. Use of an improper extension cord
could result in a risk of fire, electric shock or electrocution.
•
Do not operate the charger if it has received a sharp blow, been dropped or otherwise damaged in any
way.
•
Do not disassemble charger. Take it to a Service Agent when service or repair is required. Incorrect
reassembly may result in a risk of electric shock, electrocution or fire.
•
To prevent the risk of electric shock, unplug the charger from the outlet before attempting to clean it.
Only removing the battery pack from the charger will not reduce this risk.
•
DO NOT store or use the tool and battery pack in locations where the temperature may reach or
exceed 50°C (122°F), which can lead to deterioration of the storage battery.
•
The charger is designed to operate on standard household electrical power (120 V~). Do not attempt to
use it on any other voltage.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ON BATTERY AND CHARGER
•
First read the safety instructions and then follow the charging notes and procedures.
•
The longest life and best performance can be obtained if the battery pack is charged when the air
temperature is 15–25°C (59–77°F). Do not charge the battery pack where the air temperature is below
0°C (32°F) or above 45°C (113°F). This is important and will prevent damage to the battery pack.
•
Do not incinerate the battery pack even if it is seriously damaged or is completely worn out. The battery
can explode in a fire.
•
Never attempt to open the battery pack for any reason. If the plastic housing of the battery pack breaks
or cracks, immediately discontinue use and do not recharge.
•
The length of service from your battery will depend on the type of work you are doing. The battery has
been designed to provide maximum trouble-free life. However, like all batteries, it will eventually wear
out.
•
To obtain the longest possible battery life, we suggest the following:
- Store and charge your battery in a cool area. Temperatures above or below normal room temperature
will shorten battery life.
- Never store the battery in a discharged condition. Recharge it immediately after it has been
discharged.
•
All batteries gradually lose their charge. The higher the temperature, the quicker they lose their charge.
If you store your tool for long periods of time without use, recharge the battery every month or two. This
practice will prolong battery life.
