~e foll?wed to reduce the rrsk of fire, electric shock and personal injury
1nclud1ng the following: '
READ
ALL THESE INSTRUCTIONS before attempti ng to operate this product
and SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS. Keep these operating inst
ru ctions with this
product.
DOUBLEINSULATED@
The Do~ble Insulation @ System replaces the three-wire system e li minates
uncertamt~, .and all~ws operation with grounded or ungrounded p~wer supp li es
While prov1d1ng max1mum electrical safety. IMPORTANT! WHEN SERVICING
USE ONLY IDENTICAL REPLACEMENT PARTS! '
1.P<?LARIZED PLUGS- This powertool has a po l ari~ed pl ug (one blade is
Wider t~an the other) as a feature to reduce the risk of electric shock This
plug.wlll fit in a. P.olarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit, ~ontact a
qualified electrrc1an to replace the outlet. Never use with an extension cord
unless the plug can be fully inserted. Do not change the plug in any way.
2.KEEP
WORK AREA CLEAN -- Cluttered areas and benches invite injuries.
3.
CONSID~R WORK AREA .ENVIRONMENT-- Don't expose powertools to
ram ..Don t use power t.ools 1n damp orwet locations Keep work area well l it.
Don t use power tools m presence of flammable liquids or gases.
4.GUARD
AGAINST ELECTRIC SHOCK-- Prevent body contact with
grounded surfaces (e.g. pipes, radiators, ranges, refrigerators).
5. KE~~ CHILDREN AWAY -- Do not let visitors contact tool or .extension cord
All VISitors should be kept away from work area. ·
6. ~TORE IDLE TOOLS -- When not in use. tools should be stored in a dry,
h1gh, or locked-up place, out of the reach of children.
7.
DON'~ FORCE TOOL- It will do the job better and saferat the rate forwhich
1t was mtended.
8. USE RIGHT TOOL- Don'tforce small tools or attachments to do the job of a
heav~ duty tool. Don't use tools for purposes not intended; for example, don't
use Circular saw for cutting tree limbs
or logs.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
FOR BATTERY CHARGER
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
21 . This manual contains important operating instructions for battery charger
MODEL EC-360-04.
22 . Before us i ng battery charger, read all instructions and cautionary markings
on (1) battery charger, (2) battery and (3) product using battery.

From the library of: Superior Sewing Machine & Supply LLC

23. CA UTION • To reduce risk of injury, charge only rechargeable
batteries. Othertypes
of batteries may burst, causing personal injury and
damage.
24. Do not expose charger to rain or snow.
25. To reduce risk of damage to electric pl ug and cord, pull by plug rather than
cord when disconnecting charger.
26. Make sure charger cord is located so that it will not be stepped on, tripped
over or otherwise subjected to damage or stress.
27 . An extension cord should not be used on the battery charger unless
absolutely necessary.
Use of improper extension cord could result in a risk
of fire and electric shock. If extension cord must be used, make sure:
a) that pins on plug
of extension cord are the same number, size and shape
as those
of plug on charger.
b) that extension cord is properly wired and in good electrical condilion, and
b) that wire size is large enough for AC ampere rating of charger as
specified below:

28. Do notoperate charger with damaged cord
or plug; have them replaced
immediately.
29. Do notoperate charger
if it has received a sharp blow, been dropped or
otherwise damaged in any way; take it to an EMERY Authorized Service
Center.
30. Do not disassemble charger; take it to an Authorized Service
Center when service
or repairis required. Incorrectreassembly may result in
a risk
of electric shock of fire.

SPECIAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE ROTARY SHEAR
1. Keep gu ar ds in place and in working order •
Neverwedge or tie finger guard open. Check operation of finger guard before
be
for e each use. Do not use if finger guard does not close over rotary shear
sew blade.
CAUTION: If the rotary shear is dropped, finger guard may be bent, restricting
full return. 4
2. Keep blades clean and sharp •
• Sharp blades minimize stalling.
3. DANGER: keep hands away from cutting area- .
• Keep hands away from blades. Do not reach beneath workwhile blade 1s
rotating. Do not attempt to remove cut material when blade is moving.
CAUTION: Blade coasts after turn off.
4. Don't force tool.
• Stay alert; exercise control. . .
• During a cut, don't remove shear from work while the blade IS movmg.
5. Finger Guard ·
•
To avoid accidents never expose excessive blade. L~wer the finger guard so
that the material being cut justclears guard.
6. Adjustments - . .
• Before cutting, be sure the finger guard lock nut IS t1ght.
7. Use only the correct blades in mounting· · . .
• Do not use blades with incorrect size holes. Never use defective or mcorrect
blade washers or bolts.

ACCESSORIES AND ATTACHMENTS
To avoid accidents, remove battery from the tool while installing blade or other
accessories.
WARNING -The use of any accessory or attachment other than recommende
in this operating instruction catalog may present a risk of
personal injury.
CLEANING AND CARE
To avoid accidents, remove battery before cleaning or performing any
maintenance. Always see that the ventilation openings are kept clean. The too
may be cleaned most effectively with compressed dry a
ir. Do notattempt to
clean by inserting pointed objects through openings
Recharge battery periodically to keep ready for operation. When not
in use,
store tool and battery in a dry and frost-free place. Never store in temperature!
above44 ·c or 110·F or below o·c or 32.F.
BATTERY PACK -EC-360-03 (Figure
1, position 7)
The battery pack
1s housed 1n the handle of the motor housing. To remove the
battery pack, release the holding spring clip (Figure 1 -position 6) and pull the
battery pack out. Do not force the battery pack out.
If the battery pack is hot. le
it cool before removing from the housing.
No special maintenance is required for the battery pack. Store it in a dry and
frost-free place. Never store in temperatures above 44•c or 110•F or below
o·c or 32"F. If the battery pack has a warped or swollen plastic housing, it mw
be replaced.
The battery pack will charge in about 1 hour. It can be recharged more than 30
times: however, misuse or abuse can shorten its life expectancy.
IMPORTANT: DO NOTTRY TO CHARGE BATTERY PACK IF IT IS HOT
FROM DISCHARGE.
CHARGER -EC-360-04
The battery charger must be maintained like any electronic device.
1. The charger and battery have been designed to work together.
2. Always check the power source before returning charger for any repair.
CAUTION: The transformerless battery chargers EC-360-04 are designed to
operate on 115 Volts AC, 60Hz, or
230\1, 50Hz, commonly available
from all public utilities. They will notoperate on some inverters foun
in remote areas out
of reach of public utilities, which change low-
voltage DC to 115V or 230V modified sine-wave AC. Forthose whc
must use "inverted power", contact your representative to obtain a
transformer type charger.
3. Power source must conform to the voltage rating on the name place.
4. Have any damaged plug and cord replaced immediately by a service center.
5. Make sure that the contact plate connection between the charger and the
battery pack is not obstructed by any debris.

From the library of: Superior Sewing Machine & Supply LLC

CAUTION: To reduce the risk of electrical shock, always disconnect the charger
from the powersource before removing any debris that obstructs the
chargercontact plate.
6. Rapid charging begins as soon as the battery pack is inserted. The light
indicates charging is in process. When lightgoes out, the rapid charging
process is completed, and trickle charge will begin.
7. A battery pack can remain indefinitely in the battery charger and the full charge
will be maintained automatically by the trickle charging circuit built into the charger.
8. It is normal forthe charger and battery to become warm during the charging
process.
9. No special maintenance is required forthe charger.
It may be cleaned most
effectively with compressed dry air. Do not attemptto clean by inserting
pointed objects through openings.
We recommend ~~at all service be
performed by an Authorized Service Center.
IMPORTA
NT
• DO NOT CHARGE A BATTERY PACK IF THE ROOM TEMPERATURE IS
BELOW
o·c OR 32•F OR ABOVE 44•c OR 110 ·F.
• DO NOT FORCE BATTERY PACK INTO CHARGER.
• IN OROER TO ENSURE A LONG LIFE SPAN FOR THE BATTERY PACK IT
HAS AN ELECTRONIC TEMPERATURE SENSOR, WHICH PREVENTS
RAPID CHARGING IF THE BATTERY PACK TEMPERATURE IS ABOVE
44·c or 110r.
• IF A BATTERY PACK IS NOTWITHIN THE TEMPERATURE RANGES
INDICATED AND FALLS OUTSIDE THE BOUNDARY CONDITIONS, THE
BATTERY PACK
WILL NOT CHARGE. ALSO, IF THE BATTERY PACK
REACHES THE 44•c OR 110•F TEMPERATURE DURING THE
CHARGING PROCESS, THE CHARGER WILL DISCONTINUE CHARGING
EVEN THOUGH THE CHARGING PROCESS IS NOT FINISHED.IN ORDER
TO RESTART THE CHARGING PROCESS, ALLOW THE BATTERY PACK
