ADDITIONAL RULES FOR SAFE OPERATION
•Know your power tool. Read operator's manual carefully. Learn its applications and limitations, as well as the specific potential hazards related to this tool. Following this rule will reduce the risk of electric shock, fire, or serious injury.
•Always wear safety glasses with side shields. Everyday glasses have only impact resistant lenses. They are NOT safety glasses. Following this rule will reduce the risk of eye injury.
IMPORTANT RULES FOR BATTERY TOOLS
•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 chang- ing 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.
_1= WARNING: Batteries vent hydrogen gas and 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 pres- ence of open flame. An exploded battery can propel debris and chemicals. If exposed, flush with water immediately.
•Do not charge battery tool in a damp or wet loca-
tion. Following this rule will reduce the risk of electric shock.
•For best results, your battery tool should be charged in a location where the temperature is more than 50°F but less than 100°F. Do not store outside or in vehicles.
•Under extreme usage or temperature conditions, battery leakage may occur. If liquid comes in contact with your skin, wash immediately with soap and water, then neutralize with lemon juice or vinegar. If liquid gets into your eyes, flush them with clean water for at least 10 minutes, then seek immediate medical attention. Following this rule will reduce the risk of serious personal injury.
