General Safety

WARNING Read all safety warnings and all instructions. Failure to follow the warnings and
instructions may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.
WARNING: This device is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced,
physical or mental capabilities or lack of experience or knowledge unless they have been
given supervision or instruction concerning use of the device by a person responsible for
their safety. Children must be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the device.
Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.
Work area safety
a) Do not operate electrical devices in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of
flammable liquids, gases or dust. Electrical devices create sparks which may ignite the dust or
fumes.
Electrical safety
a) Electrical plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use any
adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) devices. Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will
reduce risk of electric shock.
b) Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces, such as pipes, radiators, ranges
and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is earthed or grounded.
c) Do not expose non-waterproof electrical devices to rain or wet conditions. Do not
submerge non-pressure-rated devices in water. Water entering an electrical device will increase
the risk of electric shock.
d) Do not abuse the power lead. Never use the lead for carrying, pulling or unplugging the
device. Keep lead away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged or entangled
power leads increase the risk of electric shock.
e) If operating an electrical device in a damp location is unavoidable, use a residual current
device (RCD) protected supply. Use of an RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.
Personal safety
a) Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating an electrical
device. Do not use potentially dangerous electrical devices while you are tired or under the
influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention while operating potentially
dangerous devices may result in serious personal injury.
b) Use personal protective equipment including eye protection where appropriate. Protective
equipment used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.
c) Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the off-position before connecting to
a power source. Carrying electrical devices with your finger on the switch or energising devices that
have the switch on invites accidents.
d) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better control of
the device in unexpected situations.
Use and Care
a) Do not force the device. Use the correct device for your application. The correct device will do
the job better and safer at the rate for which it was designed.
b) Do not use the electrical device if the switch does not turn it on and off. Any device that
cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
c) Disconnect the power source before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or
storing electrical devices. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the device
accidentally.
d) Store idle devices out of the reach of children and do not allow persons unfamiliar with
the device or these instructions to operate it. Electrical devices may be dangerous in the hands
of untrained users.
e) Maintain electrical devices. Check for defects of parts and any other condition that may
affect the device's operation. If damaged, have the device repaired before use. Many accidents
are caused by poorly maintained electrical devices.
f) Use the device and its accessories in accordance with these instructions, taking into
account the conditions and the task to be performed. Use of the device for operations different
from those intended could result in a hazardous situation.
WARNING: When used in Australia or New Zealand, it is recommended that devices are ALWAYS
supplied via Residual Current Device (RCD) with a rated residual current of 30mA or less.
Service
a) Have your electrical devices serviced by a qualified repair person using only identical
replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the device is maintained.

Battery Charger Safety

WARNING: Be aware that lead-acid batteries emit flammable, explosive gases during charging
and engine cranking . Do not charge batteries close to any kind of ignition, sparks, open flames or
heat source. Do not smoke. If you smell gas at any time during battery charging DO NOT disconnect
clamps. Ensure windows or doors are open to allow maximum ventilation. When gas has cleared,
disconnect charger from the mains power supply.
• Always refer to battery manufacturer's guidance before charging a battery
• Do not allow solvents such as paint thinner, petrol or detergents to contact the battery case
• Unless the battery is of the 'maintenance free' type, always check that the electrolyte level is
correct before attempting to charge
• Always check the battery type (AGM, gel etc.) and capacity (Ah) is compatible with the battery
charger
12/24V Battery Charger
• <REMOVE: Only use this charger with the batteries supplied with this power tool, or others
recommended by the supplier.> Attempting to charge other types of battery is dangerous, and
may invalidate your guarantee>
• Remove all metal jewellery before handling lead-acid batteries
• Always wear protective gloves and goggles when handling lead-acid batteries
• To prevent sparking do not wear clothes made of synthetic fibre which may hold a static charge
• Never use this charger to charge non-rechargeable batteries or other batteries this charger is not
designed to charge
• Use this battery charger in completely dry conditions
• Never attempt to charge a frozen battery
• Do not attempt to charge any battery that is leaking, cracked, or otherwise damaged
• If the battery charger supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its
service agent or similarly qualified persons in order to avoid a hazard
• Charge batteries in a well ventilated area with a continuous air flow, such as open doors or
windows
• Ensure that there is at least 600mm of clear space around the charger, to allow adequate
ventilation
• This battery charger is designed to charge one battery at a time
• Batteries should always be in a stable, upright, position during charging
• Position the charger as far from the battery as charging leads will allow
• Always handle battery terminal connectors at arm's length
• Always disconnect power supply before making, or breaking, battery terminal connections
• Do not allow any metal items to come into contact with the battery terminals
• Do not allow positive and negative lead clamps to touch
• If the battery does not appear to be charging, or displays any unusual operating characteristics,
dispose of battery and replace
• Allow batteries to cool for 15 minutes after charging or heavy use
• Wash thoroughly with soap and water if battery acid contacts skin or clothing
• If battery acid contacts eyes, wash thoroughly with clean water and seek medical help
• Batteries should always be disposed of at suitable recycling facility. Do not dispose of batteries
with normal household waste
• Keep battery charger and batteries clean; foreign objects or dirt may cause a short circuit. Failure
to follow these instructions may cause overheating or fire
• When not in use, batteries should be stored in a dry place at room temperature (20˚C). Ensure
that batteries are stored in such a way that they cannot accidentally short-circuit in storage
• Always recycle lead acid batteries. Contact your local or national authority for the correct recycling
procedure. When returning batteries cover the terminals with insulated adhesive tape to prevent
shorting and possible fire or explosion
• Always keep lead acid batteries out of reach of children
