RULES FOR SAFE OPERATION

OTHER SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
• Extension Cords: Make sure the extension cord is in good condition, is
heavy enough to carry the current that the unit will draw. If in doubt, use
the next heavier gauge cord. An undersized extension cord will cause a
drop in line voltage resulting in a loss of power and overheating. The table
shown illustrates the correct size to use depending on the cord length and
nameplate amperage rating.
• If the extension cord is damaged in any manner while plugged in,
disconnect the extension cord from both the house and the unit. Do not
re-use until the extension cord has been repaired or replaced.
• Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) protection should be provided on the
circuit(s) or outlet(s) to be used for this unit. Receptacles are available having
built-in GFCI protection and may be used for an added measure of safety.
• Wear safety glasses or goggles with side shields that are marked as
meeting ANSI Z87.1 standards, and ear/hearing protection when
operating this unit. Wear a face or dust mask if the operation is dusty.
• Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintain cutting tools with
sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
• Allow the unit to cool before storing or transporting. Be sure to secure the
unit while transporting.
• Never douse or squirt the unit with water or any other liquid. Keep handles
dry, clean and free from debris. Clean after each use.
• Keep these instructions. Refer to them often and use them to instruct other
users. If loaning someone this unit, also loan them these instructions.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

outdoor use, such as Type SW-A, STW-A. STOW-A, SJW-A,
SJOW-A, SJTW-A, or SJTOW-A.

CHARGING THE BATTERY
NOTE: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits
for a Class B digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These
limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful
interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses
and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in
accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to
radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference
will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause
harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be
determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged
to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following
measures:
— Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
— Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
— Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to
which the receiver is connected.
— Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
NOTE: The battery is not shipped fully charged. It is recommended to fully
charge the battery before use to ensure that maximum run time can be
achieved. The lithium-ion battery will not develop a memory and may be
charged at any time. A fully discharged battery will require approximately
3-5 hours to completely charge.
NOTE: Use only the supplied charger (Model # SH-DC120400, P/N 753-
06672) when charging. The use of any other charger could damage the
battery or create a hazardous condition.
