er battery packs may create a risk of injury
and fire.
• When a battery pack is not in use, keep
it away from other metal objects, like
paper clips, coins, keys, nails, screws or
other small metal objects that can make
a connection from one terminal to an-
other. Shorting the battery terminals to-
gether may cause burns or a fire.
• Under abusive conditions, liquid may
be ejected from the battery; avoid con-
tact. If contact accidentally occurs, flush
with water. If liquid contacts eyes, addition-
ally seek medical help. Liquid ejected from
the battery may cause irritation or burns.
• Do not use a battery pack or tool that is
damaged or modified. Damaged or modi -
fied batteries may exhibit unpredictable be-
havior resulting in fire, explosion or risk of in-
jury.
• Do not expose a battery pack or tool 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 tool out-
side the temperature range specified in
the instructions. Charging improperly or at
temperatures outside the specified range
may damage the battery and increase the
risk of fire.
