Battery Tool Use and Care
1.
Recharge only with the charger specified by
the manufacturer.
A charger that is suitable
for one type of battery pack may create a risk
of fire when used with another battery pack.
2.
Use power tools only with specifically
designated battery packs.
Use of any other
battery packs may create a risk of injury and fire.
3.
When battery pack is not in use, keep it away
from other metal objects, like paper clips,
coins, keys, nails, screws or other small metal
objects, that can make a connection from
one terminal to another.
Shorting the battery
terminals together may cause burns or a fire.
4.
Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected
from the battery; avoid contact.
If contact
accidentally occurs, flush with water. If liquid contacts
eyes, additionally seek medical help. Liquid ejected
from the battery may cause irritation or burns.
5.
Do not use a battery pack or power tool that
is damaged or modified.
Damaged or modified
batteries may exhibit unpredictable behavior
resulting in fire, explosion or risk of injury.
6.
Do not expose a battery pack or power tool to
fire or excessive temperature.
Exposure to fire or
temperature above 265°F may cause explosion.
7.
Follow all charging instructions and do
not charge the battery pack or power tool
outside of the temperature range specified
in the instructions.
Charging improperly or at
temperatures outside of the specified range may
damage the battery and increase the risk of fire.
8.
Have servicing performed by a qualified
repair person using only identical
replacement parts.
This will ensure that
the safety of the product is maintained.
9.
Do not modify or attempt to repair the power
tool or the battery pack except as indicated
in the instructions for use and care.
10.
The battery Charger gets hot during
use.
The Charger’s heat can build up to
unsafe levels and create a fire hazard if it
does not receive adequate ventilation,
due to an electrical fault, or if it is used in a
hot environment. Do not place the Charger on a
flammable surface. Do not obstruct any vents on the
Charger.
Especially avoid placing the Charger on
carpets and rugs; they are not only flammable,
but they also obstruct vents under the Charger.
Place the Charger on a stable, solid, nonflammable
surface (such as a stable metal workbench or
concrete floor) at least 1 foot away from all
flammable objects, such as drapes or walls. Keep a
fire extinguisher and a smoke detector in the area.
Frequently monitor the Charger and
Battery Pack while charging.
11.
Charge Battery Pack using Hercules 20V
Lithium Battery Charger only (sold separately).
12.
Disconnect the battery pack from the
power tool before making any adjustments,
changing accessories, or storing power tool.
Such preventive safety measures reduce the
risk of starting the power tool accidentally.
