WARNING: When using electric tools, basic safety precautions should

always be followed to reduce risk of fire, electric shock, and personal injury, including the following:

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS

• Do not store or carry battery so that metal objects can contact exposed metal end shown in Figure 1. For example, do not place battery in aprons, pockets, tool boxes, drawers etc. with loose nails, screws, keys, etc. without battery cap. Battery could short circuit causing fire or burns or damage to battery.

• Battery caps are provided for use when carrying batteries or while battery is stored in a pocket, tool box, etc. Remove cap before placing battery in charger or tool (see Figure 2).

• Never attempt to open the battery for any reason. If the housing of the battery breaks or cracks, immediately discontinue use and do not recharge.

• Do not incinerate the batteries. They can explode in a fire. A small leakage of liquid from the battery cells may occur under extreme usage, charging or temperature conditions. This does not indicate a failure. However, if the outer seal is broken and this leakage gets on your skin: a. Wash quickly with soap and water. b. Neutralize with a mild acid such as lemon juice or vinegar. c. If the battery liquid gets in your eyes, flush them with clean water for a minimum of 10 minutes and seek immediate medical attention. MEDICAL NOTE: The liquid is a 25-35% solution of potassium hydroxide. STORAGE &CARRYING CAP STORAGE &CARRYING CAP Battery Cap Metal End If you have any questions, call 1-800-54-HOW-TO E NGLISH

PRECAUTIONS WHEN SANDING PAINT

Sanding of lead based paint is NOT RECOMMENDED due to the difficulty of controlling the contaminated dust. The greatest danger of lead poisoning is to children and pregnant women. Since it is difficult to identify whether or not a paint contains lead without a chemical analysis, we recommend the following precautions when sanding any paint:

1. No children or pregnant women should enter the work area where the paint

sanding is being done until all clean up is completed.

2. A dust mask or respirator should be worn by all persons entering the work

area. The filter should be replaced daily or whenever the wearer has difficulty breathing. NOTE: Only those dust masks suitable for working with lead paint dust and fumes should be used. Ordinary painting masks do not offer this protection. See your local hardware dealer for the proper (NIOSH approved) mask.

3. NO EATING, DRINKING or SMOKING should be done in the work area to

prevent ingesting contaminated paint particles. Workers should wash and clean up BEFORE eating, drinking or smoking. Articles of food, drink, or smoking should not be left in the work area where dust would settle on them.

B. ENVIRONMENTAL SAFETY

1. Paint should be removed in such a manner as to minimize the amount of dust

2. Areas where paint removal is occurring should be sealed with plastic sheeting

of 4 mils thickness.

3. Sanding should be done in a manner to reduce tracking of paint dust outside

C. CLEANING AND DISPOSAL

1. All surfaces in the work area should be vacuumed and thoroughly cleaned

daily for the duration of the sanding project. Vacuum filter bags should be changed frequently.

2. Plastic drop cloths should be gathered up and disposed of along with any

dust chips or other removal debris. They should be placed in sealed refuse receptacles and disposed of through regular trash pick-up procedures. During clean up, children and pregnant women should be kept away from the immediate work area.

3. All toys, washable furniture and utensils used by children should be washed

thoroughly before being used again.
