listed on page 10. Other types of batteries
may burst causing personal injury and
damage.
4. Charge battery pack in temperatures
above +32 degrees F (0 degrees C) and
below +113 degrees F (45 degrees C). Store

6. 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.
7. Place charger on flat nonflammable
surfaces and away from flammable
materials when recharging battery pack.
Carpeting and other heat insulating surfaces

overheating of the charger and battery pack. If
smoke or melting of the charger or battery
pack is observed, unplug the charger
immediately and do not use the battery pack or
charger. Contact customer service immediately.
8. Make sure cord is located so that it will
