Store idle batteries and power tools out of the reach of children and do not allow persons unfamiliar with the battery or power tool or
these instructions to operate the battery or power tool. Batteries and power tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.

conditions and the work to be performed. Use of the battery or power tool for operations different from those intended could result in a

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. See Charger Product Information manual for additional charger specific warnings.
• Use power tools only with specifically designated battery packs. Use of any other battery packs may create a risk of injury and fire.
• 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.
