BATTERY TOOL USE AND CARE
■ 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 only battery packs intended specifically for the
product. Use of any other battery packs may result
in a risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons.
■ Do not use a battery pack or product that is
damaged or modified. Damaged or modified
batteries may exhibit unpredictable behaviour
resulting in fire, explosion, or risk of injury.
■ Do not expose a battery pack or product to
fire or excessive temperatures. Exposure to
fire or excessive temperature above 130°C
may cause explosion.
■ When the 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 accidentally
occurs, flush with water. If liquid contacts eyes,
additionally seek medical help. Liquid ejected from
the battery may cause irritation or burns.
CORDLESS STICK PUMP SAFETY WARNINGS

the battery box when installing the product.
