GENERAL SAFETY RULES  
Tool Use and Care  
Maintain tools with care. Keep cutting tools sharp  
and clean. Properly maintained tools, with sharp cutting  
edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.  
Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts,  
breakage of parts, and any other condition that may  
affect the tool's operation. If damaged, have the tool  
serviced before using. Many accidents are caused by  
poorly maintained tools.  
Use clamps or other practical way to secure and  
support the workpiece to a stable platform. Holding  
the work by hand or against your body is unstable and  
may lead to loss of control.  
Do not force tool. Use the correct tool for your appli-  
cation. The correct tool will do the job better and safer  
at the rate for which it is designed.  
Use only accessories that are recommended by the  
manufacturer for your model. Accessories that may  
be suitable for one tool, may create a risk of injury when  
used on another tool.  
Do not use tool if switch does not turn it on or off. A  
tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is danger-  
ous and must be repaired.  
Disconnect battery pack from tool before making any  
adjustments, changing accessories, or storing the  
tool. Such preventive safety measures reduce risk of  
starting the tool accidentally.  
Service  
Tool service must be performed only by qualified  
repair personnel. Service or maintenance performed  
by unqualified personnel could result in a risk of injury.  
When servicing a tool, use only identical replace-  
ment parts. Follow instructions in the Maintenance  
section of this manual. Use of unauthorized parts or  
failure to follow Maintenance Instructions may create a  
risk of shock or injury.  
Store idle tools out of reach of children and other  
untrained persons. Tools are dangerous in the hands  
of untrained users.  
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.  
SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES AND/OR SYMBOLS  
Hold tool by insulated gripping surfaces when performing an operation where the cutting tool may contact hidden  
wiring. Contact with a "live" wire will make exposed metal parts of the tool "live" and shock the operator.  
Under extreme usage or temperature conditions,  
battery leakage may occur. If liquid comes in contact  
with your skin, wash immediately with soap and  
water, then neutralize with lemon juice or vinegar. If  
liquid gets into your eyes, flush them with clean  
water for at least 10 minutes, then seek immediate  
medicalattention. Followingthisrulewillreducetherisk  
of serious personal injury.  
Additional Rules For Safe Operation  
Know your power tool. Read operator's manual  
carefully. Learn its applications and limitations, as  
well as the specific potential hazards related to this  
tool. Following this rule will reduce the risk of electric  
shock, fire, or serious injury.  
Important Rules for Battery Tools  
USE ONLY THE CHARGER RECOMMENDED FOR  
USE WITH YOUR FLASHLIGHT. Do not substitute any  
other charger. Use of another charger could cause  
batteries to explode causing possible serioous injury.  
WARNING:  
Batteries vent hydrogen gas and 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 presence of open flame. An  
exploded battery can propel debris and chemical. If  
exposed, flush with water immediately.  
Battery tools do not have to be plugged into an  
electrical 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.  
WARNING:  
Never use a battery pack that has been damaged or  
received a sharp blow. A damaged battery pack is  
subject to explosion. Properly dispose of a damaged  
battery pack immediately. Failure to heed this warning  
can result in serious personal injury.  
Do not charge battery tool in a damp or wet location.  
Following this rule will reduce the risk of electric shock.  
For best results, your battery tool should be charged  
in a location where the temperature is more than 50°F  
butlessthan100°F.Donotstoreoutsideorinvehicles.

BATTERIES  
DISPOSAL OF THE EXHAUSTED BATTERY  
The battery pack for this flashlight is equipped with nickel-  
cadmium rechargeable batteries. Length of service from  
each charging will depend on the type of work you are  
doing.  
To preserve natural resources, please  
recycle or dispose of properly.  
This product uses nickel-cadmium  
batteries. Local, state or federal laws may  
prohibit disposal of nickel-cadmium  
batteries in ordinary trash.  
The batteries in this battery pack have been designed to  
provide maximum trouble free life. However, like all  
batteries, they will eventually wear out. DO NOT  
disassemble battery pack and attempt to replace the  
batteries. Handling of these batteries, especially when  
wearing rings and jewelry, could result in a serious burn.  
Consult your local waste authority for information regarding  
available recycling and/or disposal options.  
For more information on battery recycling call 1-800-  
8BATTERY.  
To obtain the longest possible battery life, we suggest the  
following:  
Store and charge your battery pack in a cool area.  
Temperatures above 100°F or below 50°F will shorten  
battery life.  
WARNING:  
Upon removal, cover the battery pack's terminals with  
heavy duty adhesive tape. Do not attempt to destroy or  
disassemble battery pack or remove any of its  
components. Nickel-cadmium batteries must be  
recycled or disposed of properly. Also, never touch  
both terminals with metal objects and/or body parts as  
short circuit may result. Keep away from children.  
Failure to comply with these warnings can result in fire  
and/or serious injury.  
Never store battery pack in a discharged condition.  
Recharge battery pack if discharged.  
All batteries gradually lose their charge. The higher  
the temperature the quicker they lose their charge. If  
you store battery pack for long periods of time without  
using it, recharge the batteries every month or two.  
This practice will prolong battery life.
