IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR RADIO

CHARGER AND SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES

■The charger is designed to operate on standard household voltage. Do not attempt to use it on any other voltage.

■Do not insert foreign matter into the battery port.

■Do not charge by means of an engine generator or DC power source.

■Do not disassemble the battery.

■Do not charge or store the tool and battery in loca- tions where the temperature may reach or exceed 100°F (38°C), such as outside sheds or metal build- ings.

■Do not incinerate the battery, even if it is severely damaged or completely worn out. The battery may explode in fire.

■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.

■Do not short-circuit the battery.

■A damaged battery is subject to explosion. To avoid serious personal injury, properly dispose of a damaged battery.

■Do not discharge battery beyond normal use limits. Further discharging (such as by placing a rubber band on the trigger switch) can cause a deep discharge which may result in polarity reversal of a cell, rendering the battery useless.

■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 can propel debris and chemicals. If exposed, flush with water immediately.

■Ventilation – Slots and openings in the cabinet are provided for ventilation and to ensure reliable operation of the product and to protect it from overheating. These openings must not be blocked or covered. The openings should never be blocked by placing the product on a bed, sofa, rug, or other similar surface. This product should not be placed in a built-in installation such as a bookcase or rack unless proper ventilation is provided or the manufacturer's instructions have been adhered to.

■Grounding or Polarization – This product may be equipped with a polarized alternating-current line plug (a plug having one blade wider than the other). This plug will fit into the power outlet only one way. This is a safety feature. If you are unable to insert the plug fully into the outlet, try reversing the plug. If the plug should still fail to fit, contact your electrician to replace your obsolete outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized plug.

■Object and Liquid Entry – Never push objects of any kind into this product through openings as they may touch dangerous voltage points or short-out parts that could result in a fire or electric shock. Never spill liquid of any kind on the product.

■Damage Requiring Service – Unplug this product from the wall outlet and refer servicing to qualified service personnel under the following conditions:

A)When the power-supply cord or plug is damaged,

B)If liquid has been spilled, or objects have fallen into the product,

C)If the product has been exposed to rain or water,

D)If the product does not operate normally by following the operating instructions. Adjust only those controls that are covered by the operating instructions as an improper adjustment of other controls may result in damage and will often require extensive work by a qualified technician to restore the product to its normal operation,

E)If the product has been dropped or damaged in any way, and

F)When the product exhibits a distinct change in per- formance Ð this indicates a need for service.

■Safety Check – Upon completion of any service or repairs to this product, ask the service technician to perform safety checks to determine that the product is in proper operating condition.

■Wall or Ceiling Mounting – This product should be mounted to a wall or ceiling only as recommended by the Manufacturer.

■Heat – The product should be situated away from heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other products (including amplifiers) that produce heat.

■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. Following this rule will reduce the risk of electric shock, fire, or serious personal injury.
