reduce the risk of explosion and possible injury.
• Batteries can explode in the presence of an ignition source, such as a pilot light. To
reduce the risk of serious personal injury, never use any cordless product in the
presence of an open flame. An exploding battery can project debris and chemicals.

been dropped or hit hard. A damaged battery is liable to explode. Dispose of a
dropped or damaged battery immediately and properly.
