damagedshould be carefully checked todetermine that it willoperate properly and performits intended

function.

DO NOT exceed the tools maximum capacity.

Never force the tool or attachment to do the work of a larger industrial tool. It is designed to do the job better

and more safely at the rate for which it was intended.

Do not try to use inappropriate attachments in an attempt to exceed the tool’s capacity. Approved accessories

BatteryPrecautions

Readallinstructions and warnings on thebattery beforecharging the battery.

To avoid accidents, charge the supplied battery only. Do not use a different charger with this battery.

Do not expose the battery to rain or wet conditions.

To avoid damage of cable and plug, never pull the cable to

disconnectthecharger.

Do not use the charger if the cable or plug are damaged.

Do not touch the battery poles with any conductive source.

Do not store the battery in a box with other metal objects.

Do not throw the battery in a fire. Ni-Cd Battery must be recycled or disposed of properly.

Note: The operation time of a new battery will ramp up as it is properly used and recharged. It will take

about 5 cycles before the battery is at maximum efficiency. Warning: If two or more batteries are to

becharged,allow the QuickChargertime to cooldownbetween charges. Chargingroomtemperature:

50°F - 104° F.

Note: Always switch to a fresh battery when tool

performance begins to diminish. Severe heat is most

destructive to a battery; the more heat generated, the faster

the battery loses power. A battery that gets too hot can be

permanently damaged. Never over-discharge a battery by

usingthetool even aftertool performance isdecreasing. Never

attempt to discharge a tool’s battery by continuing to pull the

tool trigger. When tool performance begins to diminish,

stop the tool, recharge the battery and use the fresh
