SW4 Battery Powered Chainsaw
General Battery and Charging Safety
• Use only with the batteries and battery
charger specified by the manufacturer.
• When battery is charged, disconnect
the charger from the power supply and
remove the battery from the charger.
• Batteries can explode in the presence
of an ignition source, such as a pilot
light. To reduce the risk of serious
personal injury, never use any cordless
product in the presence of open flame.
Exploding batteries can propel debris
and chemicals.
• Do not use the charger in wet areas or
expose it to rain or water.
• Do not open the battery – danger of
short-circuiting and/or explosion.
• Do not attempt to destroy or
disassemble the battery pack or
remove any of its components.
• Do not touch the battery terminals with
metal objects and/or body parts as
short-circuit and/or personal injury may
result.
• Explosion hazard – protect the battery
against heat; for example, direct
sunlight and fire. Do not store batteries
in vehicles or locations subject to heat.
• Explosion hazard – do not open and/or
short-circuit the battery.
• Poison hazard – battery leakage (liquid
ejection). Under extreme conditions,
liquid may be ejected from the battery –
avoid contact. If contact accidentally
occurs, immediately seek medical
attention, and flush with water. If liquid
contacts eyes, immediately seek
medical attention, flush with clean
water for at least 10 minutes. Liquid
ejected from the battery may cause
irritation or burns.
• Ensure that the battery charger
electrical cord is not subjected to
damage or stress. Do not operate the
battery charger if it has a damaged
electrical cord or plug.
• For best results, charge batteries in
temperatures between 7°C (45°F) and
40°C (104°F).
• Dispose of non-serviceable batteries in
an environmentally responsible manner
and according to local regulations.
