GENERAL SAFETY RULES
WARNING!
READ THESE INSTRUCTIONS.  Failure to follow all 
instructions listed below, may result in electric shock, fire 
and/or serious personal injury.
 
KEEP THESE INSTRUCTIONS
HEED ALL WARNINGS
FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS
WORK AREA
Keep your work area clean and well lit. Cluttered 
benches and dark areas invite accidents.
Do not operate products in explosive atmospheres, 
such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases, 
or dust.
 Products create sparks which may ignite the 
dust or fumes.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
A battery operated product with integral batteries or 
a separate battery pack must be recharged only with 
the specified charger for the battery. 
A charger that 
may be suitable for one type of battery may create a risk 
of fire when used with another battery.
Use battery operated product only with specifically 
designated battery pack. 
Use of any other batteries 
may create a risk of fire. 
Use battery only with charger listed. For use with 18V 
nickel-cadmium and 18 V lithium-ion battery packs, 
see tool/appliance/battery pack/charger correlation 
supplement 987000-432.
Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized or 
grounding-type plug. 
A polarized plug has two blades 
with one wider than the other. A grounding type plug 
has two blades and a third grounding prong. The wide 
blade or the third prong are provided for your safety. If 
the provided plug does not fit into your outlet, consult an 
electrician for replacement of the obsolete outlet.
Protect the power cord from being walked on 
or pinched particularly at plugs, convenience 
receptacles, and the point where they exit from the 
apparatus.
Unplug this apparatus during lightning storms or when 
unused for long periods of time.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do 
not expose this apparatus to rain or moisture. Apparatus 
shall not be exposed to dripping or splashing and no 
objects filled with liquids, such as vases, shall be placed 
on the apparatus.
 
PERSONAL SAFETY
Avoid accidental starting. Be sure switch is in the 
locked or off position before inserting battery pack. 
Carrying products with your finger on the switch or 
inserting the battery pack into a product with the switch 
on invites accidents.
Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance 
at all times. 
Proper footing and balance enable better 
control of the product in unexpected situations.
Do not use on a ladder or unstable support. Stable 
footing on a solid surface enables better control of the 
product in unexpected situations.
PRODUCT USE AND CARE
Do not use product if switch does not turn it on or 
off. 
A product that cannot be controlled with the switch 
is dangerous and must be repaired.
Disconnect battery pack from product or place the 
switch in the locked or off position before making 
any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing 
the product.
 Such preventive safety measures reduce 
the risk of starting the product accidentally.
When battery pack is not in use, keep it away from 
other metal objects like: paper clips, coins, keys, nails, 
screws, or other small metal objects that can make 
a connection from one terminal to another.
 Shorting 
the battery terminals together may cause sparks, burns, 
or a fire.
Keep the radio and its handle dry, clean and free 
from oil and grease. 
Always use a clean cloth when 
cleaning. Never use brake fluids, gasoline, petroleum-
based products, or any strong solvents to clean the radio. 
Following this rule will reduce the risk of loss of control 
and deterioration of the enclosure plastic. 
Do not use this apparatus near water.
Clean only with dry cloth.
Do not block any ventilation openings. Install in 
accordance wi
th the manufacturer’s instructions.
Do not install near any heat sources such as radiators, 
heat registers, stoves, or other apparatus (including 
amplifiers) that produce heat.
Only use attachments/accessories specified by the 
manufacturer.
For indoor use only.
WARNING – To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, 
do not expose this apparatus to rain or moisture.
