ADDITIONAL SAFETY
1. Read all instructions and warn-
ings on the battery and charger
before charging the battery.
2. Charge only using the supplied
charger and battery. Do not use
with other batteries, chargers or trim
saws.
3. Do not expose battery or charger
to wet or rainy conditions.
Moisture greatly increases the risk
of a shock hazard.
4. Do not touch battery poles with
any conductive materials. Touching
any two poles at the same time
causes a short condition and can
cause sparks or electrical shock.
5. Do not store battery with conduc-
tive materials. Storing the battery
in a box of screws or nails can
cause shorting across the battery
poles.
6. Do not throw battery in fire.
Combustion of some of the batter-
ies’ component materials can cause
toxic fumes and possible explosion.
7. If charger light fails to come on
check the incoming power supply. If
power source is okay, then the fuse
inside the charger needs replace-
ment. Charger should be serviced
by a qualified electrical technician
only.
8. Charger plug has a polarized
plug (one prong is wider than the
other). Do not attempt to modify the
plug. Modifying the plug will result
in a safety hazard and will void the
warranty.
9. Charger is designed to operate at
110-120 volts. Never try to plug
into any circuit that is not 110-120
volts. Never modify or change the
plug that is attached to the charger
unit to attempt to plug into 220 volt.
This can cause serious electrical
damage to the unit, possible fire or
explosion.
1. Remove battery pack before
changing blade, adjusting or ser-
vicing trim saw.
2. Keep guards in place and main-
tained in good working order.
Never secure blade guard open. Do
not use trim saw if blade does not
return so that blade is completely
covered.
3. Keep hands away from cutting
area. Never reach under workpiece
while blade is in motion.
4. Know how to avoid kick-back.
Kick-back occurs when blade
begins to stall causing the saw to be
propelled at the operator.
5. Never saw into a wall or work-
piece without first determining if
obstructions exist. Look for nails, plumb-
ing and electrical wires before starting.
