Battery tool use and care
1. Prevent unintentional starting.
Ensure the switch is in the o󰀨-po-
sition before connecting to battery
pack, picking up or carrying the
appliance. Carrying the appliance with
your nger on the switch or energiz-
ing appliance that have the switch on
invites accidents.
2. Disconnect the battery pack from
the appliance before making any
adjustments, changing accessories,
or storing appliance. Such preventive
safety measures reduce the risk of
starting the appliance accidentally.
3. Recharge only with the charger
specied by the manufacturer. A
charger that is suitable for one type of
battery pack may create a risk of re
when used with another battery pack.
4. Use appliances only with speci-
cally designated battery packs. Use
of any other battery packs may create
a risk of injury and re.
5. When battery pack is not in use,
keep it away from other metal
objects, like paper clips, coins,
keys, nails, screws or other small
metal objects, that can make a
connection from one terminal to
another. Shorting the battery terminals
together may cause burns or a re.
6. Under abusive conditions, liquid
may be ejected from the battery;
avoid contact. If contact acciden-
tally occurs, ush with water. If liq-
uid contacts eyes, additionally seek
medical help. Liquid ejected from the
battery may cause irritation or burns.
7. Do not use a battery pack or appli-
ance that is damaged or modied.
Damaged or modied batteries
may exhibit unpredictable behavior
resulting in re, explosion or risk of
injury.
8. Do not expose a battery pack or
appliance to re or excessive tem-
perature. Exposure to re or tem-
perature above 130 °C may cause
explosion.
9. Follow all charging instructions
and do not charge the battery
pack or appliance outside of the
temperature range specied in the

at temperatures outside of the speci-
ed range may damage the battery and
increase the risk of re.
10. Have servicing performed by a
qualied repair person using only
identical replacement parts. This will
ensure that the safety of the product is
maintained.
11. Do not modify or attempt to repair
the appliance or the battery pack
except as indicated in the instruc-
tions for use and care.

SERVICING OF DOUBLE-INSULATED
APPLIANCES
A double-insulated appliance is marked
with one or more of the following: The
words "DOUBLE INSULATION" or
"DOUBLE INSULATED" or the double insu-
lation symbol (square within a square).
In a double-insulated appliance, two sys-
tems of insulation are provided instead of
grounding. No grounding means is pro-
vided on a double-insulated appliance, nor
should a means for grounding be added
to the appliance. Servicing a double-insu-
lated appliance requires extreme care and
knowledge of the system, and should be
done only by qualied service personnel.
Replacement parts for a double-insulated
appliance must be identical to the parts
they replace.
Polarization instructions
1. To reduce the risk of electric shock,
this appliance has a polarized plug
(one blade is wider than the other)
and will require the use of a polar-
ized extension cord. The appliance
plug will t into a polarized exten-
sion cord only one way. If the plug
does not t fully into the extension
cord, reverse the plug. If the plug
still does not t, obtain a correct
polarized extension cord. A polar-
ized extension cord will require
the use of a polarized wall outlet.
This plug will t into the polarized
wall outlet only one way. If the
plug does not t fully into the wall
outlet, reverse the plug. If the plug
still does not t, contact a qualied
electrician to install the proper wall
outlet. Do not change the equipment
plug, extension cord receptacle, or
extension cord plug in any way.
2. Warning – To reduce the risk of per-
sonal injury due to a loose electrical
connection between the appliance’s
plug and extension cord, rmly and
fully attach the appliance plug to the
extension cord. Periodically check
the connection while operating to
ensure it is fully attached. Do not
use an extension cord that provides
a loose connection. A loose connec-
tion may result in overheating, re,
and increases the risk of a burning.
3. To reduce the risk of disconnec-
tion of the appliance cord from the
extension cord during operating,
make a knot as shown in the Figure.
12
► 1. Cord set 2. Appliance cord
4. Maintain Appliance With Care –
Inspect extension cords periodically
and replace if damaged.
Extension cord
USE PROPER EXTENSION CORD. Make
sure your extension cord is in good con-
dition. When using an extension cord, be
sure to use one heavy enough to carry the
current your product will draw. An under-
sized cord will cause a drop in line voltage
resulting in loss of power and overheat-
ing. Table 1 shows the correct size to use
depending on cord length and nameplate
ampere rating. If in doubt, use the next
heavier gage. The smaller the gage num-
ber, the heavier the cord.
