INSTRUCTIONS FOR ALL TOOLS  
READ and understand all instructions.  
A BATTERY OPERATED UNIT 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

USE BATTERY OPERATED UNIT ONLY with specifically designated battery pack. Use of  
any other batteries may create a risk of fire.

battery pack. Carrying units with your finger on the switch or inserting the battery pack into  
a unit with the switch on invites accidents.  
DO NOT use unit if switch does not turn it on or off. A unit that cannot be controlled with  
the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.  
DISCONNECT battery pack from unit or place the switch in the locked or off position  
before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing the unit. Such  
preventative safety measures reduce the risk of starting the unit accidentally.
