safety Warnings specific for Use At height
WARNING:
• Only use batteries that contain the integral battery strap.
Do not use unsecured batteries while the tool is tethered.
Unsecured batteries may detach from the tool if dropped.
• If the tool is dropped for any reason, the lanyard attachment
point and battery strap components must be inspected and
properly serviced prior to re‑use. The lanyard attachment
point is designed to stretch to absorb the shock of a drop. Any
permanent stretch to the device exposing the red marked
internal coils indicates it has been compromised and must be
serviced prior to reuse.
• Always keep the tool and accessories tethered when
working "at height". (Maximum lanyard length: 6.5 ft [2 m].)
• Use only with lanyards appropriate for this tool type and
rated for at least the weight identified on the tool lanyard
attachment point label.
• Crush, cut or entanglement hazard. Do not use near moving
parts, mechanisms or running machinery.
• Do not anchor the tool lanyard to anything on your body.
Anchor to a rigid structure that can withstand the forces of a
dropped tool.
• Make sure the lanyard is properly secure at each end prior
to use.
• Inspect tool and lanyard before each use for damage and
proper function (including fabric and stitching). Do not use if
damaged or not functioning properly.
• Do not alter the lanyard attachment point or use in a
manner other than as instructed in this manual.
• Only attach tool to a lanyard with a locking carabiner. Do
not attach by looping or knotting the lanyard. Do not use rope
or cord.
