SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR BATTERY PACK AND CHARGER
BATTERY PACK FOR USE ONLY WITH 054-3204-0 CHARGER.
• Recharge only with the charger specified by the manufacturer and listed in this
manual. A charger that is suitable for one type of battery pack may create a risk of
fire when used with another battery pack.
• Do not charge battery in a damp or wet location. Following this rule will reduce the
risk of electric shock.
• Do not place battery-powered tools or their batteries near fire or heat. This will
reduce the risk of explosion and possible injury.
• Do not open or mutilate the batteries. Released electrolyte is corrosive and may
cause damage to the eyes or skin. It may be toxic if swallowed.
• Do not dispose of battery packs in fire. They will explode or leak and cause injury.
Liquid ejected from the battery may cause irritation or burns.
• Do not crush, drop or damage the battery pack. Do not use a battery pack 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 open flame. An exploding battery can propel debris and chemicals. If
exposed, flush with water immediately.
• Under extreme usage or temperature conditions, battery leakage may occur; liquid
may be ejected from the battery: avoid contact. If liquid comes in contact with
your skin, wash immediately with soap and water, then neutralize with lemon juice
or vinegar. If liquid gets into your eyes, flush them with 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. Shorting the battery terminals together
may cause sparks, burns, or a fire.
