WARNING: Do not drive a screw where there is
likely to be hidden wiring behind the surface. Con-
tact with a "live" wire will make exposed metal parts
of the tool "live" and shock the operator. If you must
drive a screw where hidden wire may be present,
always hold tool by insulated gripping surfaces
(handle) when performing the operation to prevent a
shock to the operator, as seen in figure 7.
_{_ WARNING: When servicing, use only identical
Craftsman replacement parts. Use of any other part
may create a hazard or cause product damage.

GENERAL MAINTENANCE
Avoid using solvents when cleaning plastic parts. Most
plastics are susceptible to damage from various types of
commercial solvents and may be damaged by their use.
Use clean cloths to remove dirt, dust, oil, grease, etc.
WARNING: Do not at any time let brake fluids,
gasoline, petroleum-based products, penetrating
oils, etc., come in contact with plastic parts. Chemi-
cals can damage, weaken or destroy plastic which
may result in serious personal injury.
Only the parts shown on the parts list are intended to be
repaired or replaced by the customer. All other parts
should be replaced at a Sears Service Center.
BATTERY PACK REMOVAL AND PREPARATION
FOR RECYCLING
A
WARNING: Upon removal, cover the battery pack's
terminals with heavy-duty adhesive tape. Do not
attempt to destroy or disassemble battery pack
or remove any of its components. Lithium-ion and
nickel-cadmium batteries must be recycled or dis-
posed of properly. Also, never touch both terminals
with metal objects and/or body parts as short circuit
may result. Keep away from children. Failure to
comply with these warnings could result in fire and/
or serious injury.
