POWER TOOL SAFETY
WARNING: Before using your S-100C, it is critical that you read and understand these safety
rules. Failure to follow these rules could result in damage to the tool, serious injury to you or
even lead to death.
Good safety practices are a combination of common sense, staying alert and understanding how to
use your tool. To avoid mistakes that could cause serious injury, do not plug in your tool until you have
read and understood all safety rules.
READ and become familiar with this entire Owner’s Manual. LEARN the tool’s applications, limitations
and possible hazards.
WARNING:
Look for this symbol that identies important safety precautions. It means CAUTION! BE ALERT!
YOUR SAFETY IS INVOLVED!
• ALWAYS WEAR EYE PROTECTION.
• Any power tool can throw foreign objects into your eyes which could causepermanent eye dam-
age. ALWAYS wear safety goggles (not glasses) that comply with ANSI safety standard Z87.1.

3
Everyday glasses have only impact resistant lenses. They ARE NOT safety glasses.
• WARNING: Glasses or goggles not in compliance with ANSI Z87.1 could cause serious
injury when they break.
WORK AREA
• Keep your work area clean and well-lit. Cluttered benches and dark areas invite accidents.
• Do not operate power tools in environments where explosive elements, such as flamma-
ble liquids, gas or dust are present. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or
fumes.
• Keep bystanders, children and visitors away while operating the tool. Distractions can
cause you to lose control.
PERSONAL SAFETY
• Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a power
tool. Do not use the tool while tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication.
A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.
• Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Contain long hair. Keep your hair,
clothing and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothing, jewellery or long hair can be
caught in moving parts.
• Avoid accidental starting. Be sure power switch is OFF before plugging in. Carrying tools
with your nger on the switch or plugging in tools that have the switch ON invites accidents.
• Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. Proper footing and balance
enables better control of the tool in unexpected situations.
• Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection. Dust mask, non-skid safety shoes,
hard hat and/or hearing protection must be used in appropriate conditions.
TOOL USE AND CARE
• Detach the battery before making any adjustments, changing accessories or storing the
tool. Such preventative safety measures reduce the risk of the tool starting accidentally.
• Store idle tools out of reach of children and other untrained persons. Tools are dangerous
in the hands of untrained users.
• Maintain tools with care. Thoroughly clean tool and components after each use.
• Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any other con-
dition that may affect the tool’s operation. If damaged, have the tool serviced before using.
Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained tools.
• Use only accessories that are recommended by the manufacturer for your model. Accessories
that may be suitable for one tool may become hazardous when used with another tool.
• Keep the tool and its handle dry, clean and free from oil and grease. Always use a clean
cloth when cleaning. Never use brake uids, gasoline, petroleum-based products or any strong
solvents to clean your tool. Following this rule will reduce the risk of re, loss of control and de-
terioration of the plastic components of the tool.
SERVICE
• Tool service must be performed only by qualified personnel. Service or maintenance per-
formed by unqualied personnel could result in risk of injury.
• When servicing a tool, use only identical replacement parts. Follow instructions in the
Maintenance section of this manual. Use of unauthorized parts or failure to follow Maintenance
instructions may create a risk of electric shock or injury.

SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES
• 1. Keep your workplace clean, never use the tool in hazardous areas that contain flamma-
ble liquids, gasses or dust.
• 2. Only use paints, solvents or other materials with a flash point of 73 °F(22C) or higher.
• 3. Never point the spray gun at another person or animal. In the event of an injury, seek
immediate medical attention.
• 4. Always read the paint manufacturer’s thinning instructions before use.
• 5. You must clean the spray gun thoroughly after each use.
BATTERY & CHARGER SAFETY
• Do not store or carry battery pack in a manner in which metal objects could contact ex-
posed metal end. Do not place battery in aprons, pockets, drawers, etc. with loose nails, screws,
keys etc. The battery could short circuit causing a re, personal injury or damage to the battery.
• Never attempt to open the battery pack for any reason. If the housing of the battery breaks or
cracks, immediately discontinue use and do not recharge.
• Do not charge the battery pack if it is wet or shows any evidence of corrosion.
• Do not incinerate the battery pack. It can explode in a re.
• Minor leakage from the battery pack may occur under extreme usage, charging or temperature
conditions. This does not indicate a failure. If, however, the outer seal is broken and this leakage
gets on your skin, follow these steps:
1. Wash immediately with soap and water.
2. Neutralize with a mild acid such as lemon juice or vinegar.
3. If liquid gets into your eyes, ush immediately with clean water for a minimum of 10 minutes
and seek medical attention.
NOTE: The battery uid is a 18–35% solution of potassium hydroxide.
• Do not use an extension cord. Plug the charger cord directly into an electrical outlet.
• Use the charger only in a standard 110–118 V/60 Hz electrical outlet.
• WARNING: The double-insulated charger is equipped with a polarized plug (one blade
is wider than the other). This plug will fit into a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug
does not fit fully into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified
electrician to install a polarized outlet. Do not alter the plug in any way. Double insulation
eliminates the need for the three-prong grounded power cord and grounded power supply
system.
• Charge the battery pack only with the charger supplied with the tool.
• Do not use the charger in wet or damp conditions. It is intended for indoor use only. Do not
use the charger near sinks or tubs. Do not immerse the charger in water.
• Do not allow the charger cord to hang over the edge of a table or counter or touch hot
surfaces. The charger should be placed away from sinks and hot surfaces.
• Do not use charger to charge any batteries other than the polisher/sander battery. Other
batteries may explode.
• Do not operate charger if cord or plug is damaged. Replace damaged cord and plug imme-
diately.
• Do not operate charger if it has received a sharp impact, been dropped or otherwise dam-
aged in any way. Have a qualied technician examine the charger and repair it if necessary. Do

5
not disassemble the charger.
• For best results, only charge the battery when the temperature range of the battery and work area
is between 10–40°C (50–105°F).
• Unplug the charger when not in use and before cleaning or maintenance.
• Do not abuse the cord. To reduce the risk of damage to the electric cord or plug, never carry the
charger by the cord or yank the cord to pull the plug. Always grasp the plug and pull to discon-
nect. Always keep the cord away from heat, oil and sharp edges.
Failure to adhere to these safety rules can greatly increase the chances of injury.
REMOVING & INSTALLING BATTERY
WARNING: Always make sure your ngers are away from the ON/OFF switch when removing or in-
stalling a battery.
1. To remove the battery from the tool, squeeze the locking buttons (C) on the top of the battery.
2. Slide the battery (C) completely out of the tool.
3. Slide the battery fully into the tool handle until you hear the locking latches “clicks” into place.
NOTE: The battery will not t into the tool if the negative polarity symbols are not aligned. If you en-
counter difculty inserting the battery into the tool, check to make sure the negative polarity symbols
are aligned.
Gently pull on the battery to ensure it is securely latched into the tool.
CHARGING THE BATTERY
Before beginning any polishing or sanding project, it is important that you fully charge the
battery. As it takes 2 to 3 hours to fully charge a rundown battery, it is recommended that the
battery be charged the day before being used.
WARNING: Use ONLY the 18 Volt charger supplied with this tool to charge the battery. Do not
charge any other batteries with the charger supplied with this tool. Mixing incompatible batter-
ies and charger may cause the battery to leak or burst causing personal injury.
BATTERY & CHARGER FACTS
1. The battery supplied with the tool is NOT fully charged when shipped. The battery must be
charged for at least 5 hours before being used in the spray gun.
2. There are two conditions under which a battery will not accept a full charge:
• when the battery is new
• when the battery has not been used for an extended period of time.
These are normal conditions and do not indicate a problem. After about four cycles of charging and
discharging through use, the battery will accept a full charge.
WARNING: Remove the battery before carrying out any work on the S-100C.
Before switching on the power tool. Unpack the spray gun and check that there are no missing
or damaged parts.
