Battery/Charger
Before using battery charger, read all
instructions and cautionary markings on (1)
battery charger, (2) battery pack, and (3)
product using battery.
Do not disassemble charger or operate the
charger if it has received a sharp blow, been
dropped or otherwise damaged in any way.
Replace damaged cord or plugs
immediately. Incorrect reassembly or
damage may result in electric shock or fire.
Do not recharge battery in damp or wet
environment. Do not expose charger to rain
or snow. If battery case is cracked or
otherwise damaged, do not insert into
charger. Battery short or fire may result.
Charge battery pack in temperatures above
+32 degrees F (0 degrees C) and below +113
degrees F (45 degrees C). Store tool and
battery pack in locations where
temperatures will not exceed 120 degrees F
(49 degrees C). This is important to
prevent serious damage to the battery cells.
Place charger on flat non-flammable
surfaces and away from flammable
materials when re-charging battery pack.
The charger and battery pack heat during
charging. Carpeting and other heat insulating
surfaces block proper air circulation which
may cause overheating of the charger and
battery pack. If smoke or melting of the case
deep enough, the grip of the collet over the bit is
reduced and the loss of control is increased.
Do not run the tool while carrying it at your
side. A spinning bit could become entangled
with clothing and injury may result.
Do not use dull or damaged bits and
accessories. Dull or damaged bits have a
greater tendency to bind in the workpiece.
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, and
• Arsenic and chromium from chemically-
treated lumber.
Your risk from these exposures varies,
depending on how often you do this type of
work. To reduce your exposure to these
chemicals: work in a well ventilated area, and
work with approved safety equipment, such
as those dust masks that are specially
designed to filter out microscopic particles.
