Important Safety Instructions for All
Battery Packs
WARNING:
Read all safety warnings, instructions,
and cautionary markings for the battery pack,
charger and product. Failure to follow the
warnings and instructions may result in electric
shock, fire and/or serious injury.
•
Do not charge or use the battery pack in explosive
atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable
liquids, gases or dust.
Inserting or removing the battery
pack from the charger may ignite the dust or fumes.
•
NEVER force the battery pack into the charger. DO
NOT modify the battery pack in any way to fit into a
non‑compatible charger as battery pack may rupture
causing serious personal injury.
Consult the chart
at the end of this manual for compatibility of batteries
and chargers.
•
Charge the battery packs only in
CRAFTSMAN chargers.
•
DO NOT
splash or immerse in water or other liquids.
•
DO NOT
allow water or any liquid to enter battery pack.
•
Do not store or use the tool and battery pack in
locations where the temperature may reach or
exceed 104 °F (40 °C) (such as outside sheds or metal
buildings in summer).
For best life store battery packs in
a cool, dry location.
NOTE: Do not store the battery packs in a tool with
the trigger switch locked on. Never tape the trigger
switch in the ON position.
•
Do not incinerate the battery pack even if it is severely
damaged or is completely worn out.
The battery pack
can explode in a fire. Toxic fumes and materials are created
when lithium‑ion battery packs are burned.
•
Do not expose a battery pack or appliance to fire or
excessive temperature.
Exposure to fire or temperature
above 265 °F (130 °C) may cause explosion.
