Batteries And Chargers - Craftsman CMCN623 Instruction Manual

• arsenic and chromium from
chemically‑treated lumber.
Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on
how often you do this type of work. To reduce your
exposure to these chemicals: work in a well ventilated
area, and work with approved safety equipment, such
as those dust masks that are specially designed to filter
out microscopic particles.
Wear protective clothing and wash exposed areas
•
with soap and water. Allowing dust to get into your
mouth, eyes, or lay on the skin may promote absorption of
harmful chemicals. Direct particles away from face and body.
Use the appropriate dust extractor vacuum to remove
•
the vast majority of static and airborne dust. Failure
to remove static and airborne dust could contaminate the
working environment or pose an increased health risk to
the operator and those in close proximity.
Use clamps or other practical ways to secure and
•
support the workpiece to a stable platform. Holding
the work by hand or against your body is unstable and may
lead to loss of control and injury.
Air vents often cover moving parts and should be
•
avoided. Loose clothes, jewelry or long hair can be caught
in moving parts.

CAUTION: When not in use, place tool on its
side on a stable surface where it will not cause
a tripping or falling hazard. Some tools with large
battery packs will stand upright on the battery pack
but may be easily knocked over.

BATTERIES AND CHARGERS

The battery pack is not fully charged out of the carton.
Before using the battery pack and charger, read the
safety instructions below and then follow charging
procedures outlined. When ordering replacement battery
packs, be sure to include the catalog number and voltage.
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS
Important Safety Instructions for All
Battery Packs

WARNING: Read all safety warnings, instructions,
and cautionary markings for the battery pack,
charger and product. Failure to follow the
warnings and instructions may result in electric
shock, fire and/or serious injury.
Do not charge or use the battery pack in explosive
•
atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable
liquids, gases or dust. Inserting or removing the battery
pack from the charger may ignite the dust or fumes.
• NEVER force the battery pack into the charger. DO
NOT modify the battery pack in any way to fit into a
non‑compatible charger as battery pack may rupture
causing serious personal injury. Consult the chart
at the end of this manual for compatibility of batteries
and chargers.
Charge the battery packs only in
•
CRAFTSMAN chargers.
• DO NOT splash or immerse in water or other liquids.
DO NOT allow water or any liquid to enter battery pack.
•
• Do not store or use the tool and battery pack in
locations where the temperature may reach or
exceed 104 °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.
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.
• Do not expose a battery pack or appliance to fire or
excessive temperature. Exposure to fire or temperature
above 265 °F (130 °C) may cause explosion.
Follow all charging instructions and do not charge
•
the battery pack or appliance outside of the
temperature range specified in the instructions.
Charging improperly or at temperatures outside of the
specified range may damage the battery and increase the
risk of fire.
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.
