• Do not insert battery with cracked case into

charger. Do not operate charger if it has been
dropped or damaged in any way. Damaged tool in-
creases the risk of electrical shock.

• Do not burn batteries for any reason. Batteries ex-

plode in fire.

• Charge battery cartridge in temperatures above

50°F (10°C) and below +104°F (40°C). Store tool
and battery pack in locations where temperatures
will not exceed +120°F (49°C). Proper care will pre-
vent serious damage to batteries. Improper care of
batteries may result in battery leakage, electrical shock
or burns.

• Do not attempt to use a step-up transformer, an en-

gine generator or DC power receptacle. May cause
damage to charger resulting in electrical shock, fire or
burns.

• Do not allow anything to cover the charger while in

use. May result in fire.

• Unplug the charger when not in use. Reduces risk of

injury to children and untrained persons.

• Always cover the battery terminals with the battery

cover when the battery cartridge is not used.
Reduces risk of electrical shock.

• Do not charge battery pack in damp or wet envi-

ronment. Do not expose to rain or snow. Increases
the risk of electrical shock.

HP motor and can be configured with the following op-
tional features:

• Guide hose (Figure 2).

• Guide hose with autofeed (Figure 3).

The autofeed unit automatically feeds or retrieves the
cable. The autofeed attached to the guide tube allows the
cable to be directly fed into the drain thereby eliminating
the need to manually control the cable.
