been dropped or received a sharp blow. A
damaged battery is subject to explosion.
Properly dispose of a dropped or damaged
battery immediately.
■ Batteries can explode in the presence of
a source of ignition, such as a pilot light. To
reduce the risk of serious personal injury,
never use any cordless products in the
presence of open flame. An exploded battery
can propel debris and chemicals. If exposed,
flush with water immediately.
■ Do not charge battery tool in a damp or wet
location. Following this rule will reduce the
risk of electric shock.
■ For best results, your battery tool should be
charged in a location where the temperature
is more than 35.6°F but less than 109.4°F. To
reduce the risk of serious personal injury, do
not store outside or in vehicles.
■ Under extreme use or temperature
conditions, battery leakage may occur. If
liquid comes in contact with your skin, wash
immediately with soap and water. If liquid
gets into your eyes, flush them with clean
water for at least 10 minutes, then seek
immediate medical attention. Following this
rule will reduce the risk of serious personal
injury.
■ When the 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 sparks, burns, or a fire.
■ Always remove the battery pack from
your tools when you are assembling parts,
making adjustments, cleaning, or when not in
use. Removing the battery pack will prevent
accidental starting that could cause serious
personal injury.
■ Always remove the battery pack before
storing the device. When battery becomes
fully charged, unplug the charger from the
power supply and remove the battery pack
from the charger.
