IMPORTANT SAFETY 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 changing accessories.

USE ONLY THE CHARGER PROVIDED WITH YOUR BATTERY TOOL. Do not substitute any other charger. Use of another charger could cause batteries to explode causing possible serious injury.

DO NOT PLACE BATTERY TOOLS OR THEIR

BATTERIES NEAR FIRE OR HEAT. They may explode.

DO NOT CHARGE BATTERY TOOL IN A DAMP OR WET LOCATION.

Your battery tool should be charged in a location where the temperature is more than 50°F but less than 100°F.

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 in your eyes, flush them with clean water for at least 10 minutes, then seek immediate medical attention.

If carrying your battery tool at your side, make sure it is not running and your finger is not on the switch. Avoid accidental starting.

SECURE WORK before applying power. NEVER hold workpiece in your hand or across your legs.

WHEN SERVICING USE ONLY IDENTICAL CRAFTSMAN REPLACEMENT PARTS.
