birth defects or other reproductive harm. Some examples of these
chemicals are:
• compounds in fertilizers
• compounds in insecticides, herbicides and pesticides
• arsenic and chromium from chemically treated lumber
To reduce your exposure to these chemicals, wear approved safety
equipment such as dust masks that are specially designed to filter out
microscopic particles.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS WARNING
:
battery so that metal objects can contact exposed battery
terminals. For example, do not place battery in aprons, pockets, tool
boxes, product kit boxes, drawers, etc., with loose nails, screws, keys,
etc. Transporting batteries can possibly cause fires if the battery
terminals inadvertently come in contact with conductive
materials such as keys, coins, hand tools and the like. The US
Department of Transportation Hazardous Material Regulations (HMR)
actually prohibit transporting batteries in commerce or on airplanes
(i.e., packed in suitcases and carry-on luggage) UNLESS they are
properly protected from short circuits. So when transporting individual
batteries, make sure that the battery terminals are protected and well
insulated from materials that could contact them and cause a short circuit.
BATTERY CAP INFORMATION
Battery Cap
Battery storage and carrying caps are provided for
use whenever the battery is out of the tool or charger.
Remove cap before placing battery in charger or tool.
Fire hazard. Do not store or carry

Extension Cord

Make sure your extension cord is in good condition. When using an
extension cord be sure it is heavy enough to carry the current your
product will draw. An undersized extension cord will cause a drop in
line voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating. The following
table shows the correct size to use depending on cord length and
nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge.
The smaller the gauge number, the heavier the cord.

Double Insulation

Double insulated tools are constructed throughout with two
separate layers of electrical insulation or one double thickness
of insulation between you and the toolʼs electrical system.
Tools built with this insulation system are not intended to be
grounded. As a result, your tool is equipped with a two prong
plug which permits you to use extension cords without concern
for maintaining a ground connection. NOTE: Double insulation does
not take the place of normal safety precautions when operating this
tool. The insulation system is for added protection against injury
resulting from a possible electrical insulation failure within the tool.
REPLACEMENT PARTS: When servicing all tools, USE IDENTICAL
REPLACEMENT PARTS. Repair or replace damaged cords.
