• Charge the battery packs only in FACOM chargers.
• DO NOT splash or immerse in water or other liquids.
• Do not store or use the tool and battery pack in locations where the temperature may reach or exceed 40 ˚C
(105 ˚F) (such as outside sheds or metal buildings in summer).
• For best results, make sure the battery pack is fully charged before use.
WARNING
: Fire hazard. Never attempt to open the battery pack for any reason. If battery pack case is cracked or damaged, do not
insert into charger. Do not crush, drop or damage battery pack. Do not use a battery pack or charger that has received a sharp blow, been
dropped, run over or damaged in any way (i.e., pierced with a nail, hit with a hammer, stepped on). Damaged battery packs should be
returned to service centre for recycling.
WARNING: Fire hazard. Do not store or carry battery so that metal objects can contact exposed battery termi-
nals. For example, do not place battery in aprons, pockets, tool boxes, product kit boxes, drawers, etc., with loose nails, screws, keys, etc.
Transporting batteries can possibly cause fires if the battery terminals inadvertently come in contact with conductive
materials such as keys, coins, hand tools and the like.
CAUTION: When not in use, place tool on its side on a stable surface where it will not cause a tripping or falling
hazard. Some tools with large battery packs will stand upright on the battery pack but may be easily knocked over.
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.
Specific safety instructions for lithium ion (li-ion)
• 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.
• If battery contents come into contact with the skin, immediately wash area with mild soap and water. If battery liquid
gets into the eye, rinse water over the open eye for 15 minutes or until irritation ceases. If medical attention is needed, the battery
electrolyte is composed of a mixture of liquid organic carbonates and lithium salts.
• Contents of opened battery cells may cause respiratory irritation. Provide fresh air. If symptoms persists, seek medical
attention.
WARNING: Burn hazard. Battery liquid may be flammable if exposed to spark or flame.
Important Safety Instructions for All Battery Chargers
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS: This manual contains important safety and operating instruc tions for battery chargers.
• Before using charger, read all instructions and cautionary markings on charger, battery pack, and product using battery pack.
WARNING: Shock hazard. Do not allow any liquid to get inside charger. Electric shock may result.
CAUTION: Burn hazard. To reduce the risk of injury, charge only FACOM rechargeable batteries. Other types of batteries may
burst causing personal injury and damage.
CAUTION: Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.
NOTICE: Under certain conditions, with the charger plugged in to the power supply, the charger can be shorted by foreign material. Foreign
materials of a conductive nature such as, but not limited to, grinding dust, metal chips, steel wool, aluminum foil, or any buildup of metallic
particles should be kept away from charger cavities. Always unplug the charger from the power supply when there is no battery pack in the
cavity. Unplug charger before attempting to clean.
• DO NOT attempt to charge the battery pack with any chargers other than the ones in this manual. The charger
and battery pack are specifically designed to work together.
• These chargers are not intended for any uses other than charging FACOM rechargeable batteries. Any other uses may
result in risk of fire, electric shock or electrocution.
•
Do not expose charger to rain or snow.
• Pull by plug rather than cord when disconnecting charger. This will reduce risk of damage to electric plug and cord.
• Make sure that cord is located so that it will not be stepped on, tripped over, or otherwise subjected to damage or
stress.
• Do not use an extension cord unless it is absolutely necessary. Use of improper extension cord could result in risk of
fire, electric shock, or electrocution.
• When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable for
outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.
• Do not block the ventilation slots on the charger. The ventilation slots are located on the top and sides of the
charger. Place the charger in a position away from any heat source.
