IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR CHARGER

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS. This manual contains important safety and operating instructions for charger part number 1423701.

Before using charger, read all instructions and cautionary markings in this manual, on charger, and product using charger.

To reduce risk of injury, charge only nickel- cadmium type rechargeable batteries. Other types of batteries may burst causing personal injury and damage.

Do not expose charger to wet or damp conditions.

Use of an attachment not recommended or sold by the charger manufacturer may result in a risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons.

To reduce risk of damage to charger and cord, pull by charger plug rather than cord when disconnecting charger.

Make sure cord is located so that it will not be stepped on, tripped over, or otherwise subjected to damage or stress.

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

DO NOT OPERATE CHARGER WITH A DAMAGED CORD OR PLUG. If damaged, have replaced immediately by a qualified serviceman.

Do not operate charger if it has received a sharp blow, been dropped, or otherwise damaged in any way; take it to a qualified serviceman. Following this rule will reduce the risk of electric shock, fire, or serious personal injury.

Do not disassemble charger; take it to a qualified serviceman when service or repair is required. Incorrect reassembly may result in a risk of electric shock or fire.

To reduce risk of electric shock, unplug charger from outlet before attempting any maintenance or cleaning. Turning off controls will not reduce this risk.

Do not use charger outdoors.

Disconnect charger from power supply when not in use.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS. Refer to them frequently and use them to instruct others who may use this tool. If you loan someone this tool, loan them these instructions also.

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 ex- amples of these chemicals are:

lead from lead-based paints,

crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry products, and

arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated lumber.

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.

WARNING:

The operation of any power tool can result in foreign objects being thrown into your eyes, which can result in severe eye damage. Before beginning power tool operation, always wear safety goggles or safety glasses with side shields and a full face shield when needed. We recommend Wide Vision Safety Mask for use over eyeglasses or standard safety glasses with side shields. Always use eye protection which is marked to comply with ANSI Z87.1.
