13.The battery charger gets hot during use. The charger’s heat can build
up to unsafe levels and create a fire hazard if it does not receive adequate ventilation, due to an electrical fault, or if it is used in a hot environment.
Do not place the charger on a flam- mable surface. Do not obstruct any vents on the charger. Especially avoid placing the charger on car- pets and rugs; they are not only flammable, but they also obstruct vents under the charger.
Place the charger on a stable, solid, nonflammable surface (such as a stable metal workbench or concrete floor) at least 1 foot away from all flammable objects, such as drapes or walls. Keep a fire extinguisher and a smoke detector in the area. Fre- quently monitor the charger and battery during use.
14.This product is not a toy. Keep it out of reach of children.
15.People with pacemakers should consult their physician(s) before use. Electromagnetic fields in close proximity to heart pacemaker could cause pacemaker interference or pacemaker failure. In addition, peo- ple with pacemakers should:
•Avoid operating alone.
•Do not use with power switch locked on.
•Properly maintain and inspect to avoid electrical shock.
•Any power cord must be properly grounded. Ground Fault Circuit Inter- rupter (GFCI) should also be imple- mented – it prevents sustained elec- trical shock.
16.Some dust created by power sand- ing, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other construction activities, contains chemicals known [to the State of Cali- fornia] to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. Some examples of these chemicals are:
•Lead from
•Crystalline silica from bricks and ce- ment or other masonry products
•Arsenic and chromium from chemi- cally treated lumber
Your risk from these exposures var- ies, depending on how often you do this type of work. To reduce your exposure to these chemicals: work in a well ventilated area, and work with approved safety equipment, such as those dust masks that are specially designed to filter out microscopic particles. (California Health & Safety Code § 25249.5, et seq.)
17.WARNING: Handling the cord on this product will expose you to lead, a chemical known to the State of California to cause cancer, and birth defects or other reproductive harm. Wash hands after handling. (Califor- nia Health & Safety Code § 25249.5, et seq.)
