Safety Warnings Specific for Use

Do not use unsecured batteries while the tool is tethered.
Unsecured batteries may detach from the tool if dropped.
•
If the tool is dropped for any reason, the lanyard

attachment point
be inspected and properly serviced prior to reuse. The
lanyard attachment point is designed to stretch to absorb
the shock of a drop. Any permanent stretch to the device
exposing the red marked internal coils indicates it has
been compromised and must be serviced prior to reuse.
•
Always keep the tool and accessories tethered when
working "at height" [maximum lanyard length:
6.5 ft (2 m)].
•
Use only with lanyards appropriate for this tool type and
rated for at least 12.0 lbs (5.44 Kg).
Crush, cut or entanglement hazard. Do not use near

•
Do not anchor the tool lanyard to anything on your body.
Anchor to a rigid structure that can withstand the forces
of a dropped tool.
•
Make sure the lanyard is properly secure at each end prior
to use.
•
Inspect tool and lanyard before each use for damage and
proper function (including fabric and stitching). Do not
use if damaged or not functioning properly.
•
Do not alter the lanyard attachment point or use in a
manner other than as instructed in this manual.
•
Only attach tool to a lanyard with a locking carabiner. Do
not attach by looping or knotting the lanyard. Do not use
rope or cord.
•
Electrical shock hazard. Be sure power is off when working
in high voltage areas. Some lanyards are conductive.

Do not use lanyards or attachment devices to get
additional leverage from the tool.
