IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
■ Battery products 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 product or when
changing accessories. Following this rule will reduce
the risk of electric shock, fire, or serious personal injury.
■ Do not place battery products or their batteries near
fire or heat. This will reduce the risk of explosion and
possibly injury.
■ Do not crush, drop or damage battery pack. Do not
use a battery pack or charger that has 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 product
in the presence of open flame. An exploded battery can
propel debris and chemicals. If exposed, flush with water
immediately.
■ Do not charge battery product in a damp or wet
location. Following this rule will reduce the risk of electric
shock.
■ Do not charge battery tool in a damp or wet location.
Do not use, store, or charge battery packs or products
in locations where the temperature is less than 50°F
or more than 100°F. Do not store outside or in vehicles.
■ Under extreme usage 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.
■ To reduce the risk of personal injury and electric
shock, the product should not be played with or
placed where small children can reach it.
SERVICE
■ If the power supply cord is damaged, it must be
replaced only by the manufacturer or by an authorized
service center to avoid risk.
■ When servicing a product, use only identical
replacement parts. Follow instructions in the
Maintenance section of this manual. Use of unauthorized
parts or failure to follow Maintenance instructions may
create a risk of shock or injury.
■ Save these instructions. Refer to them frequently and
use them to instruct others who may use this product. If
you loan someone this product, loan them these instruc-
tions also.
