Do NOT store the Lithium Ion battery anywhere that 

the temperature can easily reach higher temperatures 

than recommended - this includes garden type sheds, 

and Vehicles where the inside temperature can climb 

to dangerous levels in the direct sunlight and on high 

temperature days. 

THINK BEFORE LEAVING YOUR 

LITHIUM-ION BATTERY PACK IN STORAGE.

•  

The battery can be charged or operated at temperatures 

between 0° C and 40° C.

NEVER CHARGE YOUR LITHIUM-ION BATTERY 

BELOW OR ABOVE TEMPERATURES RECOMMENDED 

OTHERWISE FIRE OR SERIOUS DAMAGE TO THE 

BATTERY PACK MAY OCCUR. 

The most suitable temperatures to charge the battery pack 

are between 20-25° C.

   Always allow the battery pack to cool down after 

charging, do not place it in a hot environment such as a 

metal shed or open trailer left in the sun.

   Take care where the tool is stored. Do not store in areas 

of corrosive fumes, or salt air or similar conditions. Try 

and store the tool in the packaging supplied with the tool.

   Do not dispose of the battery in a fire or put the battery 

into a microwave oven, conventional oven, dryer, or high-

pressure container. Under these conditions, the battery 

may explode.

  

Never attempt to open the battery pack, puncture the 

battery or subject the battery to strong physical shock. 

  

If the plastic housing of the battery pack breaks open 

or cracks, immediately discontinue its use and do not 

recharge it. Ensure the battery pack clip is in good 

condition and will not allow the pack to fall free from the 

tool. If the clip is damaged or for any reason is not locking 

the pack in place Do Not continue to use.

  

Stop using the battery if it exhibits abnormal heat, odour, 

colour, deformation, or is in an abnormal condition.

  

If you detect leakage or a foul odour, it is especially 

important to keep the battery away from fire. If battery 

liquid leaks onto your skin or clothes, wash well with 

clean water immediately. If liquid leaking from the  

battery gets into your eyes, do not rub your eyes.  

Rinse your eyes well (for at least 10 minutes) with clean 

water, and consult a doctor immediately. Do not use a 

leaking battery.

  

Handle batteries with care to avoid shorting the battery 

with conducting materials, such as nails, screws, metal 

watch bands, rings, bracelets, and keys. The battery may 

overheat and could burn you.

  

After the battery has reached the end of its useful life, 

we recommend recycling the materials at your local 

municipal council recycling centre. DO NOT attempt to 

replace the battery cells in the battery pack, repair or 

modify any part of the battery pack assembly
