Always switch to a fresh Battery (30) when tool performance begins to
diminish.  
Severe heat is most destructive to a Battery.  The more heat generated,
the faster the Battery loses power.  A Battery that gets too hot can be permanently
damaged.  Never over-discharge a Battery by using the tool even after tool
performance is decreasing.  Never attempt to discharge a tool’s Battery by continuing
to pull the tool’s trigger.  When tool performance begins to diminish stop the tool,
recharge the Battery, and use the fresh Battery for optimal performance.

14.

Battery (30) leakage may occur under extreme usage or temperature
conditions. 
 If Battery fluid comes in contact with skin, wash with soap and water
and rinse with lemon juice and vinegar.  If the fluid comes into contact with the eyes,
flush with water for several minutes and contact a doctor immediately.

15.

Never burn the Battery, as it can explode in a fire.  Do not charge the Impact
Wrench if it has a leaking Battery.  Contact local solid waste authorities for instructions
on correct disposal or recycling of the Battery.
