INSTRUCTIONSFOR ALL TOOLS
• READ and understand all instructions.

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 one type of battery may create a risk of fire when used with another battery.

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.
