compatible charger as battery pack may rupture causing
serious personal injury.
• Charge the battery packs only in designated D
• DO NOT splash or immerse in water or other liquids.
• Do not store or use the tool and battery pack in locations
where the temperature may reach or exceed 105 °F (40 °C)
(such as outside sheds or metal buildings in summer). For
best life store battery packs in a cool, dry location.
NOTE: Do not store the battery packs in a tool with the
trigger switch locked on. Never tape the trigger switch in
the ON position.
WARNING: Fire hazard. Never attempt to open the battery pack
for any reason. If the battery pack case is cracked or damaged, do
not insert into the charger. Do not crush, drop or damage the battery
pack. Do not use a battery pack or charger that has received a sharp
blow, been dropped, run over or damaged in any way (e.g., pierced
with a nail, hit with a hammer, stepped on). Damaged battery packs
should be returned to the service center for recycling.

SPECIFIC SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR LITHIUM ION (Li-Ion)

• Do not incinerate the battery pack even if it is severely
damaged or is completely worn out. The battery pack can
explode in a fire. Toxic fumes and materials are created when
lithium ion battery packs are burned.
• If battery contents come into contact with the skin,
immediately wash area with mild soap and water. If battery
liquid gets into the eye, rinse water over the open eye for 15
minutes or until irritation ceases. If medical attention is needed,
the battery electrolyte is composed of a mixture of liquid organic
carbonates and lithium salts.
• Contents of opened battery cells may cause respiratory
irritation. Provide fresh air. If symptoms persist, seek medical
attention.
