WORK AREA SAFETY
 Keep the work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
 Do not operate power tools in explosive environments, such as in the
presence of flammable liquids, gases, or dust. Power tools create sparks,
which may ignite the dust or fumes.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
 Avoid body contact with grounded surfaces, such as pipes, radiators, ranges,
and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is
grounded.
 Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way.
Do not use any adapter plugs with grounded power tools. Unmodified plugs and
matching outlets will reduce the risk of electric shock.
 Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power
tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
 Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling, or unplugging
the power tool. Keep the cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges, or moving parts.
Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock.
 When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for
outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.
 Use charge the EGO lithium-ion battery packs list below:
