Important Safety Instructions - RIDGID R8702 Series Operator's Manual

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING
Read all safety warnings and all instructions.
Failure to follow the warnings and instructions may
result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.
 Use heated jacket only with specifically designated
battery packs and chargers as noted in the operator's
manual for your power source. Use of any other battery
packs or chargers may create a risk of injury and fire.
 If inner lining of heated jacket becomes wet,
discontinue use immediately. Allow jacket to dry
completely before wearing. Water entering heated jacket
will increase the risk of electric shock.
 Do not allow the heated jacket to be worn by an
infant, child, helpless person, person with poor
blood circulation or any person with a sensitivity to
overheating. Store the jacket out of the reach of children
and pets and do not allow persons unfamiliar with heated
jackets or these instructions to wear.
 Some medical conditions, medical devices, or
medications can cause sensitivity to heat. Consult
your medical device manufacturer and/or your physician
to determine if use of this product is appropriate.
 Do not allow the heating elements to touch bare
skin. To reduce the risk of injury, always wear a garment
between the heated jacket and bare skin.
 Turn off power to the heated jacket immediately if any
discomfort occurs.
 Do not wear the heated jacket along with backpacks
or other strapped devices that cross the chest or back.
This could damage the electrical wiring and cause jacket
malfunction, increasing the risk of shock and burns.
 Do not attach lapel pins or any other type of decorative
pins to the heated jacket. Doing so may damage the
electrical wiring.
 Do not dry clean. Do not use bleach. Cleaning solvents
may damage or lessen the effect of the jacket's insulated
heating element.
 To clean the heated jacket, follow the fabric care
label in the jacket and the instructions in the Cleaning
section of this manual.
 Hand wash only following instructions in the Cleaning
section of this manual. Do not wring or twist. Do not
iron.
 Plug the heated jacket ONLY into the power jack on a
compatible RIDGID power source. For this jacket, only
the R86074 power source is compatible.
 Do not use the heated jacket with any uninterrupted
power supply. Use of an uninterrupted power supply
may create a risk of jacket malfunctions, injury, and fire.
 Do not store or leave heated jacket unattended with
power source and battery pack connected.
 Disconnect the power source from the connecting
cable and remove the power source and battery pack
from the battery pocket before storing or cleaning the
heated jacket. Such preventive safety measures reduce
the risk of power to the jacket being turned on accidentally.
 Periodically inspect the heated jacket for wear or
damage. If holes, damage, or excessive wear is noted,
discontinue use immediately.
 Do not place heavy items on top of the heated jacket
or place sharp folds in the jacket during storage. This
could allow the electrical wiring to become pinched, which
could cause damage to the heated jacket.
 For use with RIDGID 18 V battery packs, see tool/
appliance/battery pack/charger correlation supplement
988000-302.
 Do not expose the power source to rain or wet
conditions. Water entering the power source will increase
the risk of electric shock.
 The power source is not intended for any use other
than charging small (up to 2.1 Amp) USB electronics
and the R8702 series heated jacket. Any other use may
result in risk of fire.
 Do not use the power source if it has been dropped
or received a sharp blow. A damaged power source will
increase the risk of fire.
 Remove the battery pack from the power source when
not in use.
 Save these instructions. Refer to them frequently and
use them to instruct others who may use this product.
If you loan someone this product, loan them these
instructions also.
