Battery Safety Information
■ 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. Incorrect use may result in electric
shock, overheating or leakage of corrosive liquid from the
battery.
■ Do not place appliances or their batteries near fire or heat
sources. Continuous intense sunlight, fire or other heat
sources may cause an increased danger of explosion.
■ Do not crush, drop or damage the 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 of serious personal injury, never use
any cordless product in the presence of an open flame.
An exploded battery can propel debris and chemicals. If
exposed, flush with water immediately.
■ Do not charge battery in a damp or wet location. Following
this rule will reduce the risk of electric shock.
