SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS cont.

SAFETY RULES FOR BATTERY CHARGING STAND / TRANSFORMER cont.

  3. 

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.
  4. 

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. 
  5. 

Keep cord and charging stand / transformer away from heat to prevent damage to 

      housing or internal parts.
  6. 

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.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS cont.

 1. 

Know your power tool. Read operator’s manual carefully. Learn the applications and 

     limitations, as well as the specific potential hazards related to this tool. Following this rule 

     will reduce the risk of electric shock, fire or serious injury.
 2. 

ALWAYS wear safety glasses or eye shields when using this tool. Everyday 

     eyeglasses have only impact-resistant lenses; they are 

NOT safety glasses.  

 3. 

PROTECT your lungs. Wear a face mask or dust mask if the operation is dusty. 

 4. 

PROTECT your hearing. Wear appropriate personal hearing protection during use. Under 

     some conditions noise from this product may contribute to hearing loss.
 5. 

ALL VISTORS AND BYSTANDERS MUST wear the same safety equipment that the 

     operator of the tool wears. 
 6. 

ALWAYS check the tool for damaged parts. Before further use of the tool, a guard or 

     other part that is damaged should be carefully checked to determine if it will operate 

     properly and perform its intended function. Check for misalignment or binding of moving 

     parts, breakage of parts, and any other condition that may affect the tool’s operation. 

     A guard or other part that is damaged should be properly repaired or replaced at a Sears 

     Service center.
 7. 

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS. Refer to them frequently and use them to instruct 

     others who may use this tool. If someone borrows this tool, make sure they have 

     these instructions also.

      

WARNING:  

!

                               Some dust created by using power tools contains chemicals 

known to the State of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other 

reproductive harm. Some examples of these chemicals are:
• Lead from lead-based paints.

• Crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry products. 

• Arsenic and chromium, from chemically treated lumber.
Your risk from these exposures varies, depending upon how often you do 

this type of work. To reduce your exposure to these chemicals: 
• Work in a well-ventilated area.

• Work with approved safety equipment, such as those dust masks that are specially 

  designed to filter out microscopic particles.
Avoid prolonged contact with dust from power sanding, sawing, grinding, 

drilling and other construction activities. Wear protective clothing and wash 

exposed areas with soap and water. Allowing dust to get into your mouth, eyes, or 

lay on the skin may promote absorption of harmful chemicals.

!

                               Use of this tool can generate and/or disburse dust, which may 

cause serious and permanent respiratory or other injury. Always use NIOSH/OSHA 

approved respiratory protection appropriate for the dust exposure. Direct particles 

away from face and body.

WARNING:

ADDITIONAL RULES FOR SAFE OPERATION

!

                               BE SURE to read and understand all instructions. Failure to
