RISK OF FIRE, PROPERTY DAMAGE, AND INJURY. NEVER
EXPOSE YOUR BATTERY PACK OR CHARGER TO WATER,
MOISTURE, OR FLUIDS, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO
CORROSIVE OR CONDUCTIVE FLUIDS, OR ALLOW FLUIDS

Corrosive or conductive fluids, such as salt water, chlo-
rine, certain industrial chemicals, and bleach or bleach
containing products, etc., can cause a short circuit in
the battery pack. If your battery pack is exposed to a
corrosive or conductive fluid, do not attempt to use or
charge the battery pack and immediately perform the
following steps:
• Wear appropriate personal protective equipment, in-
cluding eye protection and rubber gloves.
• Place your exposed battery pack in a large bucket,
®
such as a 5 gallon or similar bucket, and fill the
bucket with regular tap water. Do not place more
than two packs in the bucket.
• Locate the bucket outdoors in an area inaccessible
to children and pets and away from all buildings, ga-
rages/sheds, structures, vehicles, and combustible/
flammable materials.
• Leave the battery pack(s) in the bucket filled with tap
water and call Customer Service at 1-800-406-2005

ered off before connecting to battery pack, picking up or

packs. Use of any other battery packs may create a risk
of injury and fire.
