a tool while you are tired or under the influence
of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of
inattention while operating a tool may result in
serious personal injury or incorrect measurement
results.
Use safety equipment. Always wear eye
protection. Safety equipment such as dust mask,
non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing
protection used for appropriate conditions will
reduce personal injuries.
Use caution when using detection tools in the
vicinity of electrical hazards.
Chemical Burn Hazard. Keep
lithium button/coin batteries
away from children. This product contains a
lithium button/coin cell battery. If a new or used
lithium button/coin cell battery is swallowed or
enters the body, it can cause severe internal burns
and can lead to death in as little as 2 hours. Always

on and off. Any tool that cannot be controlled with
the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
Store idle tool out of the reach of children and do
not allow persons unfamiliar with the tool or
these instructions to operate the tool. 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 operation. If
damaged, tool repaired before use. Many
accidents are caused by poorly maintained tools.
Use the tool, accessories, etc., in accordance with
these instructions and in the manner intended for
the particular type of tool, taking into account the

Battery tool use and care
Recharge only with the charger specified by the
manufacturer. A charger that is suitable for one
type of battery pack may create a risk of fire when
used with another battery pack.
Use detection tools only with specifically
designated battery packs. Use of any other battery
packs may create a risk of injury and fire.
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 burns or a fire.
