SAFETY RULES FOR BATTERIES

BATTERY CARE

When batteries are not in
tool or charger, keep them
Batteries vent hydrogen gas and 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 recharge battery in damp or wet
environment. Do not expose charger to rain
or snow. Water entering battery charger may
result in electric shock or fire.
Do not store outside or in vehicles.
Do not store battery pack in charger. Battery
pack stored in charger over a long period of
time could lead to battery pack damage and fire.
Battery leakage may occur under extreme
usage or temperature conditions. Avoid
contact with skin and eyes. The battery liquid
is caustic and could cause chemical burns to
tissues. If liquid comes in contact with skin,
wash quickly with soap and water. If the liquid
contacts your eyes, flush them with water for
a minimum of 10 minutes and seek medical
attention.
Do not let gasoline, oils, petroleum-based
products, etc. come in contact with plastic
parts. They contain chemicals that can
damage, weaken or destroy plastic.
Do not touch the uninsulated portion of
output connector or uninsulated battery
terminal. There is a risk of electric shock.
Replace battery pack if a substantial drop
in operating time per charge is observed.
Battery pack may be nearing the end of its life.
DO NOT PUT BATTERIES INTO FIRE OR
EXPOSE TO HIGH HEAT. They may explode.
