BATTERY PACK USE AND CARE
◾
Recharge only with the chargers specified by the
manufacturer. A charger that is suitable for one type
of battery pack may create a rise of fire when used
with another battery pack.
◾
Use the battery pack only with specifically
designated power tools. Use of any other power tools
may create a risk of injury and fire.
◾
When 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
burns or a fire.
◾
Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected
from the battery; avoid contact. If contact
accidentally occurs, flush with water. If liquid
contacts eyes, additionally seek medical help.
Liquid ejected from the battery may cause irritation
or burns.

batteries.
◾
Do not expose cells or batteries to heat or fire.

packaging until required for use.
◾
Do not subject cells or batteries to mechanical
shock.
◾
In the event of a cell leaking, do not allow the liquid

has been made, wash the affected area with copious
amounts of water and seek medical advice.

SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES

◾
Know your power tool. Read the operator's manual
carefully. Learn the applications and limitations, as
well as the specific potential hazards related to the
tool. Following this rule will reduce the risk of electric
shock, fire, or serious injury.
◾
Battery tools do not have to be plugged into an
electrical outlet; therefore, they are always in
operating condition. Be aware of possible hazards
when not using your battery tool. Always remove
the battery before changing accessories. Following
this rule will reduce the risk of electric shock, fire or
serious personal injury.
◾
Do not place the battery tools or battery pack near
fire or heat. This will reduce the risk of explosion and
possibly injury.
