Store idle products out of the reach of children and do
not allow persons unfamiliar with the product or these
instructions to operate the product. Battery products
are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
Maintain battery products. Check for misalignment
or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and
any other condition that may affect the product's
operation. If damaged, have the product repaired
before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly
maintained battery products.
Use the battery product, accessories, and tool bits
etc. in accordance with these instructions, taking into
account the working conditions and the work to be
performed. Use of the product for operations different
from those intended could result in a hazardous situation.
Recharge only with the charger specified by the
manufacturer. A charger that is suitable for one type
of battery pack may create a risk of fire when used with
another battery pack.
Use battery products only with specifically designated
battery packs. Use of any other battery packs may create
a risk of injury and fire.
When 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 another. Shorting the
battery terminals together may cause burns or a fire.
Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected
from the battery; avoid contact. If contact acciden-
tally occurs, flush with water. If liquid contacts eyes,
additionally seek medical help. Liquid ejected from the
battery may cause irritation or burns.
Battery products do not have to be plugged into
an electrical outlet; therefore, they are always in
operating condition. Be aware of possible
hazards when not using your battery product or when
changing accessories. Following this rule will reduce
the risk of electric shock, fire or serious personal injury.
Do not place battery products or their batteries near
fire or heat. This will reduce the risk of explosion and
possibly injury.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Do not crush, drop or damage battery pack. Do not
use a battery pack or charger that has been dropped
or received a sharp blow. A damaged battery is subject
to explosion. Properly dispose of a dropped or damaged
battery immediately.
Batteries 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 charge battery tool in a damp or wet location.
Do not use, store or charge battery packs or products
in locations where the temperature is less than 50° F
or more than 100° F. Do not store outside or in vehicles.
Under extreme usage or temperature conditions,
battery leakage may occur. If liquid comes in
contact with your skin, wash immediately with soap and
water. If liquid gets into your eyes, flush them
with clean water for at least 10 minutes, then seek
immediate medical attention. Following this rule will
reduce the risk of serious personal injury.
To reduce the risk of serious personal injury, never use
or expose battery pack or any cordless product in the
presence of an open flame or temperature above 265°
F. An exploded battery can propel debris and chemicals.
If exposed, flush with water immediately.
Have your battery product serviced by a qualified
repair person using only identical replacement parts.
This will ensure that the safety of the battery product is
maintained.
When servicing a battery product, use only
identical replacement parts. Follow instructions
in the Maintenance section of this manual. Use of
unauthorized parts or failure to follow Maintenance
instructions may create a risk of shock or injury.
Save these instructions. Refer to them frequently and
use them to instruct others who may use this tool. If you
