SAFETY INFORMATION

  Battery tools do not have to be plugged into an electrical outlet; therefore, they are always in 

operating condition. Be aware of possible hazards when not using your battery tool or when changing 

 

possibly injury.

  Do not crush, drop or damage battery pack. Do not use a battery pack or charger that has been 

dropped or received a sharp blow. A damaged battery is subject to explosion. Properly dispose of a 
dropped or damaged battery immediately.

  Batteries can explode in the presence of a source of ignition, such as a pilot light. To reduce the risk 

  Do not charge battery in a damp or wet location. Following this rule will reduce the risk of electric 

shock.

  For best results, your battery should be charged in a location where the temperature is more than 45°F 

but less than 104°F. To reduce the risk of serious personal injury, do not store outside or in vehicles.

  Under extreme usage or temperature conditions, battery leakage may occur. If liquid comes in contact 

clean water for at least 10 minutes, then seek immediate medical attention. Following this rule will 
reduce the risk of serious personal injury.

  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. 

  Always remove battery from your tool when you are assembling parts, making adjustments, cleaning, 

or when not in use. Removing the battery pack will prevent accidental starting that could cause serious 
personal injury.

  Always remove battery before storing the device. When battery becomes fully charged, unplug the 

charger from the power supply and remove the battery pack from the charger.

  Keep battery pack dry, clean, and free from oil and grease. Always use a clean cloth when cleaning. 

  Always remove battery before storing the device. When battery becomes fully charged, unplug the 

charger from the power supply and remove the battery pack from the charger.

  Keep battery pack dry, clean, and free from oil and grease. Always use a clean cloth when cleaning.
