safety Warnings specific for Use at height

WARNING:
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.
Remove any wrenches/chuck keys and store them
separately when using at height.
Do not use hang hook as lanyard
attachment point.
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.
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 12.0 lbs (5.44 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
