Page 5: Safety Guidelines
SAFETY GUIDELINES: WARNING! Safety symbols in this Instruction Manual are used to flag possible dangers. The safety symbols and their explanations require your full understanding. The safety warnings do not, by themselves, eliminate any danger, nor are they substitutes for proper accident prevention measures. - Page 6 054-8285-6 | contact us 1-800-689-9928 ELECTRICAL SAFETY • Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adaptor plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools. Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.
- Page 7 POWER TOOL USE AND CARE • Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for your application. The correct power tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was designed. • Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it on and off.
- Page 8 054-8285-6 | contact us 1-800-689-9928 • Do not expose a battery pack or tool to fire or excessive temperature. Exposure to fire or temperature above 130°C (265°F) may cause explosion. • Follow all charging instructions and do not charge the battery pack or tool outside the temperature range specified in the instructions.
