RULES FOR SAFE OPERATION (Continued)
7.An extension cord should not be used unless absolutely necessary. Use of improper extension cord could result in a risk of fire and electric shock. If extension cord must be used, make sure:
a.That pins on plug of extension cord are the same number, size and shape as those of plug on charger.
b.That extension cord is properly wired and in good electrical condition; and
c.That wire size is large enough for AC ampere rating of charger as specified below:
Cord Length (Feet) | 25 ft. | 50 ft. | 100 ft. |
Cord Size (AWG) | 16 | 16 | 16 |
Note: AWG = American Wire Gage
8.Do not operate charger with a damaged cord or plug. Replace immediately.
9.Do not operate charger if it has received a sharp blow, been dropped, or otherwise damaged in any way; take it to an AUTHORIZED SERVICE
CENTER.
10.Do not disassemble charger; take it to an AUTHORIZED SERVICE CENTER when service or repair is required. Incorrect reassembly may result in a risk of electric shock or fire.
11.To reduce risk of electric shock, unplug charger from outletbeforeattemptinganymaintenanceorcleaning. Turning off controls will not reduce this risk.
PRECAUTIONS REGARDING THE USE OF CHARGER AND BATTERIES
1.Do not charge batteries when temperature is below 50° F (10° C) or above 95° F (35° C).
2.The charger is designed to operate on standard household electrical power. Do not attempt to use it on any other voltage.
3.Consecutive charging may cause overheating. If you need to recharge batteries consecutively, wait
for about 15 minutes to allow charger to cool.
4.Do not charge by means of an engine generator or DC power source.
5.Do not store the tool in locations where the temperature may reach or exceed 104° F (40° C), such as outside sheds or metal buildings in summer.
6.Do not incinerate the tool, even if it is severely damaged or completely worn out. The batteries may explode in fire.
7.Battery leakage may occur under conditions of extreme usage or temperature. If liquid comes in contact with skin, wash quickly with soap and water, then with lemon juice or vinegar. If liquid gets in your eyes, wash for at least 10 minutes and seek medical attention immediately.
8.Do not
WARNING:
Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other construction activities contains chemicals known to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. Some examples of these chemicals are:
∙lead from
∙crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry products, and
∙arsenic and chromium from
Your risk from these exposures varies, 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.
