• Do not incinerate the appliance even if it is severely damaged. The batteries can
explode in a fire.
• This appliance is intended for household use only and not for commercial or industrial use.
• Shock Hazard. To protect against risk of electrical shock, do not put unit or charging
base in water or other liquid.
• Do not allow the cord to hang over the edge of a table or counter or touch hot surfaces. The
unit should be placed or mounted away from sinks and hot surfaces.
• Plug the charger directly into an electrical outlet.
• Use the charger only in a standard electrical outlet (120V/60Hz).
• Unplug the charger from outlet before any routine cleaning or maintenance.
• This product includes rechargeable nickel cadmium batteries. Do not incinerate
batteries as they will explode at high temperatures.
• Leaks from battery cells can occur under extreme conditions. If the liquid, which is a
20-35% solution of potassium hydroxide, gets on the skin (1) wash quickly with soap
and water or (2) neutralize with a mild acid such as lemon juice or vinegar. If the
liquid gets into the eyes, flush them immediately with clean water for a minimum of 10
minutes. Seek medical attention.
• Do not look into the air vents when the unit is switched on, as sometimes
there is a possibility of small debris being discharged from the air vents, especially after
cleaning / replacement of the filters as debris inside the unit can be disturbed.

Symbols

• The label on your tool may include the following symbols. The symbols and their
definitions are as follows:
V ..................volts A ...................amperes
Hz ................hertz W ..................watts
min ..............minutes ................alternating current
............direct current no .................no load speed
................Class I Construction ..................earthing terminal
(grounded) ................safety alert symbol
................Class II Construction .../min or rpm ........revolutions or reciprocation
(double insulated) per minute
• When using an extension cord, be sure to use one heavy enough to carry the current
your product will draw. An undersized 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.
