stick work practices when using this tool in
remote mode, to reduce the risk of injury.
• Never allow another high voltage conductor,
or grounded point to contact the instrument
during use. Always keep the tool housing clear of
all conductors to prevent shorting the circuit and
causing an arc flash that could result in severe
injury or death.
Failure to follow these warnings will result in severe
injury or death.
• Keep your fingers and hands away from the tool
head during the operating cycle. Remove battery

welded, ground, drilled or modified in any manner
can break during use and throw parts that could

• Before use, inspect the tool and correct any
problems before using to reduce the risk of
