IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS WARNING!  To reduce the risk of electrocution, keep all connections dry and off the ground. Do not touch plug with wet hands. READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS. Failure to follow all instructions listed below, may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious personal injury. Save all warnings and instructions for future reference. The term "product" in the warnings refers to your mainsoperated (corded) product or battery-operated (cordless) product. WORK AREA SAFETY  Keep your work area clean and well lit. Cluttered benches and dark areas invite accidents.  Do not operate products in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases, or dust. Products create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.  Keep children and bystanders away while operating a product. Distractions can cause you to lose control. ELECTRICAL SAFETY  A battery operated product with integral batteries or a separate battery pack must be recharged only with the specified charger for the battery. A charger that may be suitable for one type of battery may create a risk of fire when used with another battery.  Use battery only with charger listed. For use with 18V nickel-cadmium and 18V lithium-ion battery packs, see tool/appliance/battery pack/charger correlation supplement 987000-432.  When using a power cord, protect the power cord from being walked on or pinched particularly at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point where they exit from the product.  Do not expose products to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a product will increase the risk of electric shock.  Unplug this product or disconnect the battery when not in use. PERSONAL SAFETY  Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. Proper footing and balance enable better control of the product in unexpected situations.  Do not use on a ladder or unstable support. Stable footing on a solid surface enables better control of the product in unexpected situations.  Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the off-position before connecting to power source and/or battery pack, picking up or carrying the tool. Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or energising power tools that have the switch on invites accidents. TRANSFER PUMP USE AND CARE  CAUTION: The pump has been evaluated for use with water only. Do not use with acids, alkalines, solvents, flammable material, gasoline or petroleum products, bleaches, or industrial grade solutions. These products can cause physical injuries to the operator and irreversible damage to the pump.  Do not use product if switch does not turn it on or off. A product that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.  Disconnect battery pack or power supply from product before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing the product. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the product accidentally.  Release the pressure and drain water from the pump before servicing.  Keep the product and its handle dry, clean and free from oil and grease. Always use a clean cloth when cleaning. Never use brake fluids, gasoline, petroleumbased products, or any strong solvents to clean your product. Following this rule will reduce the risk of loss of control and deterioration of the enclosure plastic.  Clean only with dry cloth.  Do not operate near any heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other apparatus (including amplifiers) that produce heat. BATTERY TOOL USE AND CARE  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.  Use products only with specifically designated battery packs. Use of any other battery packs may create a risk of injury and fire.  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.  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. 2 - English
