away from openings and moving parts.
 Turn off all controls before removing battery.
 Use extra care when cleaning on stairs or steps.
 Do not operate product in explosive atmospheres,
such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases,
or dust. Battery products create sparks which may ignite
the dust or fumes.
 Keep your work area clean and well lit. Cluttered
benches and dark areas invite accidents.
 Keep bystanders, children, and visitors at least 50 ft.
away while operating this product. Distractions can
cause you to lose control.
 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 operated products only with specifically
designated battery pack. Use of any other batteries may
create a risk of fire.
 Use this product only with batteries and chargers
listed in tool/appliance/battery pack/charger correla-
tion supplement 987000-432.

which could cause shorting and electric shock. If
damaged, have the charger replaced by an authorized
service center.

tention while operating products may result in serious
personal injury.
