English 5) BATTERY TOOL USE AND CARE a) Recharge only with the charger specified by the manufacturer. A charger that is suitable for one type of battery pack may create a risk of fire when used with another battery pack. b) Use power tools only with specifically designated battery packs. Use of any other battery packs may create a risk of injury and fire. c) When battery pack is not in use, keep it away from other metal objects, like paper clips, coins, keys, nails, screws, or other small metal objects, that can make a connection from one terminal to another. Shorting the battery terminals together may cause burns or a fire. d) Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from the battery; avoid contact. If contact accidentally occurs, flush with water. If liquid contacts eyes, additionally seek medical help. Liquid ejected from the battery may cause irritation or burns. 6) SERVICE a) Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair person using only identical replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained. Additional Specific Safety Instructions for Thread Rod Cutter • This threaded rod cutter is intended for cutting the following materials and threaded rod sizes: Mild Steel (1/4-20, 3/8-16, 1/2-13), Stainless Steel (1/4-20, 3/8-16), Grade 8 Hardened (1/4-20, 3/8-16). • The dies provided are only used for the material and sizes specified in the Applications chart under Intended Use. • Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces, when performing an operation where the cutting accessory may contact hidden wiring. Cutting accessory contacting a "live" wire may make exposed metal parts of the power tool "live" and could give the operator an electric shock. • Inspect tool and cutting dies before use. Replace any worn or damaged parts. A damaged or improperly assembled tool can break and strike operator or nearby personnel. • NEVER have any part of your body near the cutters. A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury. • ALWAYS wear gloves when handling threaded rod. The ends and threads can be sharp and can cause serious personal injury. • Firmly secure the piece of metal to be cut to prevent movement during cutting. • Always wear safety shoes to protect your feet from sharp metal debris on the floor. • Keep all screws tight. Check periodically for loosening. • Do not place anything into the motor housing openings. • Stay clear of end pieces that may fall after cutting off. They may be hot, sharp and/or heavy. • Air vents often cover moving parts and should be avoided. Loose clothes, jewelry or long hair can be caught in moving parts. WARNING: ALWAYS use safety glasses. Everyday eyeglasses are NOT safety glasses. Also use face or dust mask if cutting operation is dusty. ALWAYS WEAR CERTIFIED SAFETY EQUIPMENT: • ANSI Z87.1 eye protection (CAN/CSA Z94.3), • ANSI S12.6 (S3.19) hearing protection, • NIOSH/OSHA/MSHA respiratory protection. 3
