safety Warnings specific for Use At height

WARNING:
• Only use batteries that contain the integral
battery strap. Do not use unsecured batteries
while the tool is tethered. Unsecured batteries may
detach from the tool if dropped.
• If the tool is dropped for any reason, the lanyard
attachment point and battery strap components
must be inspected and properly serviced prior to
re-use. The lanyard attachment point is designed
to stretch to absorb the shock of a drop. Any
permanent stretch to the device exposing the
red marked internal coils indicates it has been
compromised and must be serviced prior to reuse.
• Always keep the tool and accessories tethered
when working "at height". (Maximum lanyard
length: 6.5 ft [2 m].)
• Use only with lanyards appropriate for this tool
type and rated for at least 6.0 lbs (2.72 Kg).
• Crush, cut or entanglement hazard. Do
not use near moving parts, mechanisms or
running machinery.
• Do not anchor the tool lanyard to anything on
your body. Anchor to a rigid structure that can
withstand the forces of a dropped tool.
• Make sure the lanyard is properly secure at each
end prior to use.
• Inspect tool and lanyard before each use for
damage and proper function (including fabric
and stitching). Do not use if damaged or not
functioning properly.
• Do not alter the lanyard attachment point or
use in a manner other than as instructed in
this manual.
• Only attach tool to a lanyard with a locking
carabiner. Do not attach by looping or knotting
the lanyard. Do not use rope or cord.
• Electrical shock hazard. Be sure power is off when
working in high voltage areas. Some lanyards
are conductive.
• Dropped tools will swing on the lanyard, which
could cause injury or loss of balance.
• Do not carry the tool by the attachment point, the
battery strap or the lanyard.
• Do not attach more than one tool to
each lanyard.
• Only use appropriate D
ready attachment kit. NEVER modify tools to
create attachment points.

the tool.
• Do not use lanyards or attachment devices to get
additional leverage from the tool.

at height.
