FIG.
1. WORK AREA a. Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered and dark areas invite accidents. b. Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes. c. Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control. 2. ELECTRICAL SAFETY a. Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way.
5. BATTERY TOOL USE AND CARE a. Ensure the switch is in the off position before inserting battery pack. Inserting the battery pack into power tools that have the switch on invites accidents. b. Recharge only with the charger specified by the manufacturer. A charger that is suitable for one type of battery pack may create a risk of fire when used with another battery pack. c. Use power tools only with specifically designated battery packs. Use of any other battery packs may create a risk of injury and fire.
Extension Cords WARNING: Always use eye protection. All users and bystanders must wear eye protection that conforms to ANSI Z87.1.

The RBRC™ Seal • Do not incinerate the battery pack even if it is severely damaged or is completely worn out. The battery pack can explode in a fire. • A small leakage of liquid from the battery pack cells may occur under extreme usage or temperature conditions. This does not indicate a failure. However, if the outer seal is broken and this leakage gets on your skin: a. Wash quickly with soap and water. b. Neutralize with a mild acid such as lemon juice or vinegar. c.
• Do not operate charger with damaged cord or plug — have them replaced immediately. • Do not operate charger if it has received a sharp blow, been dropped, or otherwise damaged in any way. Take it to an authorized service center. • Do not disassemble charger; take it to an authorized service center when service or repair is required. Incorrect reassembly may result in a risk of electric shock, electrocution or fire. • Disconnect the charger from the outlet before attempting any cleaning.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS FOR FUTURE USE HOT/COLD PACK DELAY Some chargers have a Hot/Cold Pack Delay feature: when the charger detects a battery that is hot, it automatically starts a Hot Pack Delay, suspending charging until the battery has cooled. After the battery has cooled, the charger automatically switches to the Pack Charging mode. This feature ensures maximum battery life. The red light flashes long, then short while in the Hot Pack Delay mode. Chargers Your tool uses a DEWALT charger.
