The battery charger gets
hot during use. The
charger’s heat can build
up to unsafe levels and
create a fire hazard if it does not
receive adequate ventilation, due to
an electrical fault, or if it is used in a
hot environment.
Do not place the charger on a flam-
mable surface. Do not obstruct any
vents on the charger.
especially
avoid placing the charger on car-
pets and rugs; they are not only
flammable, but they also obstruct
vents under the charger.
Place the charger on a stable, solid,
nonflammable surface (such as a
stable metal workbench or concrete
floor) at least 1 foot away from all
flammable objects, such as drapes or
walls. Keep a fire extinguisher and a
smoke detector in the area. Fre-
quently monitor the charger and
battery while charging.
This product is not a toy. Keep it out
27.
of reach of children.

28.
hardware in or near the workpiece.
This is especially critical for plunge
cuts.

er failure. In addition, people with
pacemakers should:

WARNING: Some dust created by
30.
power sanding, sawing, grinding, drill-
ing, and other construction activities,
contains chemicals known [to the
State of California] to cause cancer,
birth defects or other reproductive
harm. Some examples of these
chemicals are:
• Lead from lead-based paints
• Crystalline silica from bricks and ce-
ment or other masonry products
• Arsenic and chromium from chemi-
cally treated lumber
Your risk from these exposures var-
ies, depending on how often you do
this type of work. To reduce your
exposure to these chemicals: work in
a well ventilated area, and work with
approved safety equipment, such as
those dust masks that are specially
designed to filter out microscopic
particles. (California Health & Safety
Code § 25249.5, et seq.)
