• Disconnect the battery pack from the power tool
before making any adjustments, changing
accessories, or storing the power tool. Such
preventive safety measures reduce the risk of
starting the power tool accidentally.
• 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.
• Do not incinerate the appliance even if it is severely
damaged. The batteries can explode in a fire.
• Do not use a battery pack or appliance that is
damaged or modified. Damaged or modified
batteries may exhibit unpredictable behavior
resulting in fire, explosion or risk of injury.
• 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 an
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.
• Don't modify or attempt to repair the appliance or
the battery pack (as applicable) except as indicated
in the instructions for use and care.
• Follow all charging instructions and do not charge
the battery pack or appliance outside of the
temperature range specified in the instructions.
Charging improperly or at temperatures outside of
the specified range may damage the battery and
increase the risk of fire.
4 CHILD SAFETY
Tragic accidents can occur if the operator is not aware
of the presence of children.
• Keep children out of the working area and under the
watchful care of a responsible adult.
• Do not allow children under the age of 14 to operate
this machine. Children who are 14 years of age and
older must read and understand the operating
instructions and safety rules in this manual and must
be trained and supervised by a parent.
• Stay alert, and turn the machine off if a child or any
other person enters the working area.
• Use extreme care when approaching blind corners,
doorways, shrubs, trees, or other objects that may
obscure your view of a child who may run into the
path of the machine.
5 PROPOSITION 65
WARNING
This product contains a chemical known to the state of
California to cause cancer, birth defects or other
reproductive harm. Some dust created by power
sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other
construction activities contains chemicals known to
cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive
harm. Some examples of these chemicals are:
• Lead from lead-based paints;
• Crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other
masonry products;
• Arsenic and chromium from chemically treated
lumber.
Your risk of exposure to these chemicals varies
depending on how often you do this type of work. To
reduce your exposure to these chemicals, work in a
