WARNING!

READ AND UNDERSTAND ALL INSTRUCTIONS.

Failure to follow all instructions listed below, may result in

electric shock, fire and/or serious personal injury.



Battery tools do not have to be plugged into an elec-

trical outlet; therefore, they are always in operating

condition. Be aware of possible hazards when not

using your battery tool or when changing accessories.

Following this rule will reduce the risk of electric shock,

fire, or serious personal injury.



Do not place battery tools or their batteries near fire

or heat.

This will reduce the risk of explosion and possibly

injury.



Do not crush, drop or damage battery pack. Do not

use a battery pack or charger that has been dropped

or received a sharp blow.

A damaged battery is subject

to explosion. Properly dispose of a dropped or damaged

battery immediately.



Batteries 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 pres-

ence of open flame. An exploded battery can propel debris

and chemicals. If exposed, flush with water immediately.



Do not charge battery tool in a damp or wet location.

Following this rule will reduce the risk of electric shock.



Use battery only with charger listed. For use with 4V

lithium-ion battery packs,

see tool/appliance/battery

pack/charger correlation supplement 988000-312.



Do not charge in an area of extreme heat or cold. It will

work best at normal room temperature.

To reduce the

risk of serious personal injury, do not store outside or in

vehicles.



Under extreme usage or temperature conditions, bat-

tery leakage may occur. If liquid comes in contact with

your skin, wash immediately with soap and water. If

liquid gets into your eyes, flush them with clean water

for at least 10 minutes, then seek immediate medical

attention.

Following this rule will reduce the risk of serious

personal injury.



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 sparks, burns, or a

fire.



Always remove battery pack from your tool when you

are assembling parts, making adjustments, cleaning,

or when not in use.

Removing battery pack will prevent

accidental starting that could cause serious personal injury.



Always remove battery pack before storing the device.



When battery becomes fully charged, unplug the char-

ger from the power supply and remove the battery pack

from the charger.



Always wear eye protection with side shields marked

to comply with ANSI Z87.1.

Failure to do so could result

in objects being thrown into your eyes and other possible

serious injuries.



Keep battery pack dry, clean, and free from oil and

grease.

Always use a clean cloth when cleaning. Never

use brake fluids, gasoline, petroleum-based products, or

any solvents to clean battery pack.



Do not use a battery pack that is damaged or modified.

Damaged or modified batteries may exhibit unpredictable

behavior resulting in fire, explosion or risk of injury.



Do not modify or attempt to repair a battery pack that

has been damaged.



Do not expose a battery pack or appliance to fire or

excessive temperature.

Exposure to fire or temperature

above 265°F (130°C) may cause explosion.



Have servicing performed by a qualified repair person

using only identical replacement parts.

This will ensure

that the safety of the product is maintained.



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:

NEVER IMMERSE OR EXPOSE YOUR BATTERY

PACK, TOOL, OR CHARGER TO CORROSIVE OR

CONDUCTIVE FLUIDS OR ALLOW THESE FLUIDS TO

FLOW INSIDE THESE ITEMS.

Corrosive or conductive fluids, such as seawater,

chlorine, certain industrial chemicals, and bleach or

bleach containing products, etc., can cause a short

circuit in the battery pack.

If your battery pack is exposed to a corrosive or

conductive fluid, do not attempt to use or charge the

battery pack and immediately perform the following

steps:



Wear appropriate personal protective equipment,

including eye protection and rubber gloves.



Place your exposed battery pack in a large bucket,

such as a 5 gallon or similar bucket, and fill the

bucket with regular tap water. Do not place more

than two packs in the bucket.



Locate the bucket outdoors in an area inaccessible

to children and pets and away from all buildings,

garages/sheds,

structures,

vehicles,

and

combustible/flammable materials.



Leave the battery pack(s) in the bucket filled

with tap water and call Customer Service at

1-800-525-2579 for additional instructions on the

proper disposal of the exposed battery pack(s).

Battery packs exposed to corrosive or conductive fluids

and failure to follow the steps above in the event of

exposure to these fluids can result in smoke/fire, serious

personal injury, and/or property damage.

COLD WEATHER OPERATION

The lithium-ion battery pack can be used in temperatures down

to -4°F.
