Work Area Safety
ɨKeep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
ɨDo not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids,
gases or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
ɨKeep bystanders away while operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.

Personal Safety
ɨStay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a power tool. Do
not use a power tool while you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A
moment of distraction while operating power tools may result in personal injury.
ɨUse personal protection equipment. Always wear eye protection. Safety equipment such as dust
mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for appropriate conditions will
reduce personal injuries.
ɨDo not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better control of the
power tool in unexpected situations.

Tool Use and Care
ɨTo prevent leakage, overheating, smoke generation, fire, and rupturing from occurring, follow these instructions when handling our
rechargeable power tools (tool main body/battery pack/charger).
ɨDo not force the tool. Use the correct tool for your application. The correct tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it
was designed.
ɨDo not use the tool if the switch does not turn it on and o. Any tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must
be repaired.
ɨDisconnect the battery pack from the tool before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing. Such preventive safety
measures reduce the risk of starting the tool accidentally.
ɨStore idle tools out of the reach of children and do not allow persons unfamiliar with the tool or these instructions to operate the tool.
These tools can be dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
ɨMaintain tools. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any other condition that may aect the tools
operation. If damaged, have the tool repaired before use.
ɨUse power tools only with specifically designated battery packs. Use of any other battery packs may create a risk of injury and fire.
ɨUnder abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from battery; avoid contact. If contact accidentally occurs, flush with water. If liquid
contacts eyes, additionally seek medical help. Liquid ejected from the battery may cause irritation or burns.

Battery and Charger Use and Care
ɨBefore using battery charger, read all instructions and cautionary markings on battery charger,
battery pack, and product using battery pack.
ɨTo reduce the risk of injury, charge only Huskie Tools battery pack model BP-185. Other types of
batteries may burst causing personal injury and damage.
ɨDo not leave charger and battery pack exposed to rain or snow, submerge in water, or stored in
damp or wet locations.
ɨTo reduce risk of damaging the electric plug and cord, pull by plug rather than cord when
disconnecting charger.
ɨMake sure cord is located so that it will not be stepped on, tripped over, or otherwise subjected to
damage or stress.
ɨDo not disassemble charger or battery pack, contact Huskie Tools service dept. at 800-860-6170
when service or repair is required. Incorrect reassembly may result in a risk of electric shock or fire.
ɨDo not store the tool and battery pack in locations where the temperature may reach or exceed 50°C
(122°F) (such as a metal tool shed, or a car in the summer), which can lead to deterioration of the
storage battery.
ɨDo not charge battery pack when the temperature is below 0°C (32°F) or above 40°C (104°F). This is
very important to maintain optimal condition of the battery pack.
ɨThe charger is designed to operate on standard 120V AC electrical power only. Do not attempt to use
it on any other voltage.
ɨCharge the battery pack in a well-ventilated place, do not cover the charger and battery pack with a
cloth, etc., while charging.
ɨUse of an attachment not recommended may result in a risk of fire, electric shock, or personal injury.
ɨDo not short the battery pack or allow metal objects to touch the terminals. A battery short can cause
a large current flow, overheating and create the risk of fire or personal injury.
ɨHuskie Tools is not responsible for any damage or accident caused by the use of recycled or
counterfeit battery pack.
ɨDo not incinerate the battery pack or dispose of the battery pack in a fire or expose it to excessive
heat.
ɨDo not charge the battery pack in a high-temperature location, such as next to a fire or in direct
sunlight. Otherwise, the battery may overheat, catch fire, or explode.
ɨAfter removing the battery pack from the tool or the charger, always re-attach the pack cover.
Otherwise, the battery contacts could be shorted, leading to a risk of fire.
ɨWhen the battery pack has deteriorated, replace it with a new one. Continued use of a damaged
battery pack may result in heat generation, ignition or battery rupture.
ɨWhen storing, remove any material cuttings and dust from the battery pack, and place the battery
pack separately from metal objects (screws, nails, etc.) when storing in the tool case.
