IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
PRECAUTIONS AGAINST KICKBACK
Kickback is a dangerous reaction that can lead to serious injury.
■Keep a good firm grip on the unit with both hands when operating the unit. Place your right hand on the rear handle and the left hand on the front handle. A firm grip will help you reduce kickback and maintain control of the unit.
■Make sure that the area in which you are cutting is free from obstructions. Do not let the blade come in contact with any obstruction while operating the unit.
■Always cut with the unit at full speed. Fully squeeze the trigger and maintain a steady cutting speed.
■Use only the replacement blade specified for your unit.
BATTERY SAFETY
■Battery operated units do not have to be plugged into an electrical outlet; therefore, they are always in operating condition. Be aware of possible hazards even when unit is not operating.
■Remove the battery pack before making any adjust- ments, cleaning, storing, or removing material from the unit, or when not in use.
■A battery pack must be recharged only with the specified charger for the battery pack. A charger that may be suitable for one type of battery pack may create a risk of fire when used with another battery pack. Use the battery pack only with the charger listed.

■To reduce the risk of explosion and possible injury, Do not place battery units or their batteries near fire or heat.
■Do not open or mutilate the battery pack. Released electrolyte is corrosive and may cause damage to the eyes or skin. It may be toxic if swallowed.
■A damaged battery pack is subject to explosion. To avoid serious personal injury, properly dispose of a damaged battery pack.
■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 presence of open flame. An exploded battery pack can propel debris and chemicals. If exposed, flush with water immediately.
■Do not charge unit in a damp or wet location. Following this rule will reduce the risk of electric shock.
■For best results, your battery unit should be charged in a location where the temperature is more than 50°F (10°C) but less than 100°F (38°C). Do not store outside or in vehicles.
■Under extreme usage or temperature conditions, battery pack 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.
