standard or Extended Run Time battery packs. However, be sure to
select proper voltage.
NOTE: Battery storage and carrying caps are provided for
use whenever the battery is out of the tool or charger.

objects can contact exposed battery terminals. For
example, do not place battery in aprons, pockets, tool

etc. without battery cap. Without cap in place, battery could short
