SPECiFiC SAFETY RULES FOR CORDLESS DRILL/DRIVERS cont.
t 3. 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 personal injury, never use any
cordless product in the presence of open flame. An exploded battery can propel debris
and chemicals. If exposed, flush with water immediately.
14. Do not charge battery pack in a damp or wet location. Following this rule will
reduce the risk of electric shock.
15. For best results, your battery pack should be charged in a location where the temperature
is more than 50°F but less that 80°R Do not store battery outside or in vehicles.
16. 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 medical
attention. Following this rule will reduce the risk of serious personal injury.
17. SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS. Refer to them frequently and use them to instruct
others who may use this tool. If you loan someone this tool, loan them these
instructions also to prevent misuse of the product and possible injury.
SAFETY RULES FOR BATTERY CHARGING STAND/TRANSFORMER
A WARNING:
READ AND UNDERSTAND ALL INSTRUCTIONS. Failure to i
follow all instructions listed below may result in electric shock, fire and / or
J
serious personal injury.
3
NOTE: Before using battery charging stand / transformer, read all instructions |
and cautionary markings in this manual, on battery charging stand /transformer,
J
battery pack, and drill / driver using battery pack to prevent misuse of the
products and possible injury or damage.
Z_ CAUTION: USE ONLY the specifically designated battery charging
stand / transformer that was supplied with this drill / driver when charging the
battery pack.The use of any other battery charging stand / transformer could
damage the battery pack, and create a hazardous condition. See page 6.
Z_ CAUTION:To reduce the risk of electric shock or damage to the battery
charging stand /transformer and battery pack, charge only the specifically
designated battery pack that was included with this drill / driver and charging
stand /transformer. Charging other types of battery packs may cause them to
burst, causing personal injury and damage.
1. Do not use the battery charging stand / transformer outdoors or expose to wet or
damp conditions. Water entering charging stand will increase the risk of electric shock.
2. Use of an attachment with this battery charging stand / transformer that is not
recommended may result in a risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons.
SAFETY RULES FOR BATTERY CHARGING STAND/TRANSFORMER cont.
5.
6.
Do not abuse the cord on the battery charging stand / transformer. Never carry the
charging stand / transformer by its power cord. Never pull the power cord to remove the
transformer from the power outlet. Damage to the cord or charging stand / transformer could
occur and create an electric shock hazard. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or
moving parts. Replace damaged cords immediately. Damaged cords increase the risk of
electric shock.
Make sure cord is located so that it will not be stepped on, tripped over, come in
contact with sharp edges or moving parts, heat, oil, or otherwise subjected to
damage or stress. This will reduce the risk of accidental falls, which could cause injury,
and damage to the cord which could result in electric shock.
Keep cord and charging stand / transformer away from heat to prevent damage to
housing or internal parts.
Do not let gasoline, oils, petroleum=based products, etc. come in contact with
plastic parts. They contain chemicals which can damage, weaken or destroy plastic.
7. An extension cord should not be used unless absolutely necessary. Use of improper
extension cord could result in a risk of fire and electric shock. If an extension cord must be
used, make sure: a) That pins on plug of extension cord are the same number, size and
shape as those on the transformer, b) That extension cord is properly wired and in good
electrical condition, and c) That you use a proper extension cord. ONLY use cords
listed by Underwriters Laboratories (UL). Other extension cords can cause a drop in line
voltage, resulting in a loss of power and overheating of charging stand/transformer. An
AWG (American Wire Gauge) size of at least 14-gauge is recommended for an extension
cord of 25-ft. or less in length. Use 12-gauge for an extension cord of 50-ft.
Extension cords 100-ft. or longer are not recommended.
8. INSPECT tool cords for damage. Do not operate charging stand with a damaged cord or
transformer, which could cause shorting and electric shock. Have damaged tool cords
repaired at a Sears Service Center.
9. Do not operate charging stand / transformer if it has received a sharp blow, been dropped,
or otherwise damaged in any way. Take it to an authorized serviceman for electrical check to
determine if the charging stand / transformer is in good working order.
10. Do not disassemble charging stand / transformer.Take it to a Sears Parts and Repair
Center when service or repair is required. Incorrect reassembly may result in a risk of
electric shock or fire.
11. Disconnect charging stand/transformer from the power supply when not in use.
This will reduce the risk of electric shock or damage if metal items should fall into the opening in
the charging stand. It also will help prevent damage during a power surge.
12. Risk of electric shock. Do not touch un-insulated portion of output connector or un-insulated
battery terminal.
13. SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS. Refer to them frequently and use them to instruct others who
may use this tool. If you loan someone this tool, also loan them these instructions to prevent
misuse of the product and possible injury.
