Craftsman CLPS2408S User Manual

4 ― English

■ Do not use on a ladder, rooftop, tree, or 

other unstable support. Stable footing on a 

solid surface enables better control of the tool 

in unexpected situations.
■ Don’t Force Power Tool - It will do the job 

better and with less likelihood of a risk of 

injury at the rate for which it was designed. 
■ Do not use the tool if the switch does not 

turn it on and off. Any cordless power tool 

that cannot be controlled with the switch is 

dangerous and must be repaired.
■ Disconnect the battery pack from the 

cordless power tool before making any 

adjustment, changing accessories, or storing. 

Such preventive safety measures reduce the 

risk of starting the power tool accidentally. 
■ Store Idle Power Tools Indoors - To reduce 

the risk of serious personal injury, do not 

store outside or in vehicles. When not in use, 

appliances should be stored indoors in dry, 

and high or locked-up place - out of reach of 

children. 
■ Do not allow persons unfamiliar with the 

cordless power tool or these instructions to 

operate the tool. Cordless power tools are 

dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
■ Maintain tools. Check for misalignment or 

binding of moving parts, breakage of parts 

and any other condition that may affect the 

tool’s operation. If damaged, have the tool 

repaired before use. Many accidents are 

caused by poorly maintained tools.
■ Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. 

Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp 

cutting edges are less likely to bind and are 

easier to control.
■ Use the cordless power tool, accessories 

and tool bits etc., in accordance with these 

instructions, taking into account the working 

conditions and the work to be performed. 
■ Use Right Tool - Do not use appliance for 

any job except that for which it is intended.
■ Recharge only with the charger listed in 

the Parts List of this manual. A charger that 

is suitable for one type of battery pack may 

create a risk of fire when used with another 

battery pack.

■ Use cordless power tools only with 

specifically designated battery packs. Use of 

any other battery packs may create a risk of 

injury and fire.
■ Exercise care in handling batteries in 

order not to short the battery with conducting 

materials such as rings, bracelets, and keys. 

The battery or conductor may overheat and 

cause burns.
■ Batteries can explode in the presence of 

a source of ignition, such as a pilot light. To 

reduce the risk of serious personal injury, 

never use any cordless product in the 

presence of open flame. An exploded battery 

can propel debris and chemicals. If exposed, 

flush with water immediately.
■ Do not crush, drop or damage the battery 

pack. Do not use a battery pack or charger 

that has been dropped or received a sharp 

blow.
■ Do not open or mutilate the batteries. 

Released electrolyte is corrosive and may 

cause damage to the eyes or skin. It may be 

toxic if swallowed.
■ Under extreme usage or temperature 

conditions, battery leakage may occur; 

liquid may be ejected from the battery: avoid 

contact. If liquid comes in contact with your 

skin, wash immediately with soap and water, 

then neutralize with lemon juice or vinegar. 

If liquid gets into your eyes, flush them with 

clean water for at least 10 minutes, then seek 

immediate medical attention. Following this 

rule will reduce the risk of serious personal 

injury.
■ Do not dispose of battery packs in fire. 

They will explode or leak and cause injury. 

Liquid ejected from the battery may cause 

irritation or burns.
■ Have your tool serviced by a qualified 

service center using only identical 

replacement parts. This will ensure that the 

safety of the power tool is maintained.
■ Use only the following model number 

battery: 71.98724 (24LB2513)
