Battery Safety
WARNING: Li-Ion batteries, if incorrectly used, stored or charged are a fire, burn and
explosion hazard.
• Keep the battery out of reach of children
• ONLY charge Li-Ion batteries using the charger provided or designed specifically for your
product
• ONLY use Li-Ion batteries provided with a product or specifically designed to be
compatible
• Allow batteries to cool for 15 minutes after charging or heavy use. Failure to follow these
instructions may cause overheating or fire
• When not in use batteries should be stored at room temperature (approximately 20˚C)
• Ensure that battery contacts cannot accidentally short in storage. Keep batteries clean;
foreign objects or dirt may cause a short. Keep away from other metal objects, for
example, paperclips, coins, keys, nails and screws
• Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from the battery. This liquid may cause
skin irritation or burns. Avoid contact. If contact accidentally occurs, flush with water. If
liquid contacts eyes, seek medical help
• DO NOT open, disassemble, crush, heat above 60°C or incinerate. Do not dispose of in
fire or similar
Battery Charger Safety

to charge the battery.
• Do not attempt to use the charger with any batteries other than those supplied. Keep your
battery charger clean; foreign objects or dirt may cause a short or block air vents. Failure
to follow these instructions may cause overheating or fire
• If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent or
similarly qualified persons in order to avoid a hazard
• Examine the battery charger regularly for damage, especially the cord, plug and enclosure.
If the battery charger is damaged, it must not be used until it has been repaired

WARNING: DO NOT attempt to recharge non-rechargeable batteries.
Battery and charger safety features
The battery and charger are fitted with a number of safety features which may be triggered
during charging or operation:
• Over-charge protection: Charger automatically switches off when the battery has reached
full charge capacity, protecting the internal components of the battery
• Over-discharge protection: Prevents the battery from discharging beyond the
recommended lowest safety voltage
• Over-heat protection: Sensor switches off if the battery becomes too hot during operation.
This can happen if the tool is overloaded or being used for extended periods of time. Up to
30 minutes cooling time may be required depending on the ambient temperature
• Overload protection: Battery temporarily stops if it is overloaded or the maximum current
draw is exceeded, protecting the internal components. The battery will resume normal
operation when the current draw returns to a normal safe level. This may take a few
seconds
• Short circuit protection: The battery will stop working immediately if a short circuit occurs,
this prevents damage to the battery or tool
