Electrical safety
Batteries can explode or leak, cause injury
or fire. To reduce this risk, always follow all
instructions and warnings on the battery label
and package.
DO NOT short any battery terminals.
DO NOT charge alkaline batteries.
DO NOT mix old and new batteries.
Replace all of them at the same time with
new batteries of the same brand and type.
DO NOT mix battery chemistries. Dispose
of or recycle batteries per local code.
DO NOT dispose of batteries in fire.
Keep batteries out of reach of children.
Remove batteries if the device will not be
used for several months.
Personal safety
Stay alert, watch what you are doing and
use common sense when operating a tool.
Do not use a tool while you are tired or
under the influence of drugs, alcohol or
medication. A moment of inattention while
operating a tool may result in serious personal
injury or incorrect measurement results.
Use safety equipment. Always wear eye
protection. Safety equipment such as dust
mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or
hearing protection used for appropriate
conditions will reduce personal injuries.
Mounting Magnets
Keep the tools mounting
magnets away from cardiac
pacemakers. The magnets 14
generate a field that can impair
their function.
Keep the tools mounting magnets
away from magnetic data medium and
magnetically-sensitive equipment. The effect
of the magnets 14 can lead to irreversible data
loss.
Use and care
Use the correct tool for your application.
The correct tool will do the job better and safer.
Do not use the tool if the switch does not
turn it on and off. Any tool that cannot be
controlled with the switch is dangerous and
must be repaired.
Store idle tool out of the reach of children
and do not allow persons unfamiliar with
the tool or these instructions to operate
the tool. Tools are dangerous in the hands of
untrained users.
Maintain tools. Check for misalignment or
binding of moving parts, breakage of parts
and any other condition that may affect the
operation. If damaged, tool repaired before
use. Many accidents are caused by poorly
maintained tools.
Use the tool, accessories, etc., in
accordance with these instructions and in
the manner intended for the particular type
of tool, taking into account the working
conditions and the work to be performed.
Use of the tool for operations different from
those intended could result in a hazardous
situation.
Service
Have your tool serviced by a qualified repair
person using only identical replacement
parts. This will ensure that the safety of the tool
is maintained.
Develop a periodic maintenance schedule
for tool. When cleaning a tool be careful not
to disassemble any portion of the tool since
internal wires may be misplaced or pinched
or may be improperly mounted. Certain
cleaning agents such as gasoline, carbon
tetrachloride, ammonia, etc. may damage
plastic parts.
