SAFETY RULES
WARNING!
READ AND UNDERSTAND ALL INSTRUCTIONS. Failure to
follow all instructions listed below, may result in electric shock,
fire and/or serious personal injury.
Battery tools do not have to be plugged into an electrical
outlet; therefore, they are always in operating condition. Be
aware of possible hazards when not using your battery tool
or when changing accessories. Following this rule will reduce
the risk of electric shock, fire, or serious personal injury.
Do not place battery tools or their batteries near fire or heat.
This will reduce the risk of explosion and possibly injury.
Do not crush, drop or damage battery pack. Do not use a
battery pack or charger that has been dropped or received a
sharp blow. A damaged battery is subject to explosion. Properly
dispose of a dropped or damaged battery immediately.
Batteries can explode in the presence of a source of ignition,
such as a pilot light. To reduce the risk of serious personal
injury, never use any cordless product in the presence of open

into your eyes, flush them with clean water for at least 10

this rule will reduce the risk of serious personal injury.
