Equipment Use and Care

• Do not force equipment. Use the cor-
rect equipment for your application. The
correct equipment does the job better
and more safely.
• Do not use equipment if the power
key does not turn it on and off when
a compatible, charged battery pack is
connected. Any equipment that cannot
be controlled with the power key is dan-
gerous and must be repaired.
• Store idle equipment out of the reach
of children and do not allow per-
sons unfamiliar with the equipment
or these instructions to operate the
equipment. Equipment can be danger-
ous in the hands of untrained users.
• Maintain equipment. Check for mis-
alignment or binding of moving parts,
missing parts, breakage of parts, and
any other condition that may affect the
equipment's operation. If damaged, have
the equipment repaired before use. Many
accidents are caused by poorly main-
tained equipment.
• Do not overreach. Keep proper footing
and balance at all times. This enables
better control of the equipment in unex-
pected situations.
• Use the equipment and accessories
in accordance with these instructions,
taking into account the working con-
ditions and the work to be performed.
Use of the equipment for operations dif-
ferent from those intended can result in a
hazardous situation.
• Keep handles dry, clean, and free from
oil and grease. Clean handles give bet-
ter control of the equipment.

Battery Use and Care

• Use equipment only with specifical-
ly designed battery packs. Use of any
other battery packs may create a risk of
injury and/or fire.
• Recharge only with the charger spec-
ified by the manufacturer. A charger
suitable for one type of battery pack may
create a risk of fire when used with an-
other battery pack.
• Do not cover charger while in use.
Proper ventilation is required for correct
operation. Covering charger while in use
could result in fire.
• Use and store batteries and chargers
in dry, appropriate temperature areas
according to their documentation. Ex-
treme temperatures and moisture can
damage batteries and result in leakage,
electrical shock, fire, or burns.
• Do not probe the battery with conduc-
tive objects. Shorting of battery termi-
nals may cause sparks, burns, or elec-
trical shock. When the battery pack is not
in use, keep it away from other metal ob-
jects, like paper clips, coins, keys, nails,
screws or any other small metal object
that can make a connection from one
terminal to the other. Shorting the battery
terminals may cause burns or a fire.
• Under abusive conditions, liquid may
eject from battery; avoid contact. If
contact occurs, flush with water. If liquid
contacts eyes, seek medical help. Liquid
ejected from the battery may cause irrita-
tion or burns.
• Properly dispose of batteries. Expo-
sure to high temperatures can cause the
batteries to explode; do not dispose of in
a fire. Some countries have regulations
concerning battery disposal. Follow all
applicable regulations.
