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.
•
When recycling, make it non-conductive by applying
insulating tape to the terminals located on the battery.
