and the battery pack
to our customer service center.
To ensure that items are properly packaged
and delivered when you send them to us,
please contact our customer service or the

When shipping or disposing of batteries and
cordless tools, always ensure that they are
packed individually in plastic bags to prevent

To ensure that the battery pack provides long ser-
vice, you should take care to recharge it promptly.
