SPEED RATCHET
1. DO NOT expose your battery pack or cordless tools to
water or rain, or allow them to get wet. DO NOT use in
a hyperbaric environment. DO NOT use oil or solvents
to clean or lubricate your battery pack. This plastic
casing will become brittle and crack, causing a risk of
injury.
2. Store battery pack at room temperature away from
moisture. DO NOT store in damp locations, where
corrosion of terminals may occur. Permanent capacity
loss and damage can result if the battery pack is stored
for long periods of time at high temperatures (over
95°F / 35°C).
3. To reduce the risk of injury or explosion, never burn or
incinerate a battery pack even if it is damaged, dead or
completely discharged. When burned, toxic fumes and
materials are created.
4. DO NOT modify the battery pack or charge it with other
chargers; that may cause personal injury or damage.
5. If an unusual smell, color or amount of heat occurs
when battery pack is being charged or stored, stop
using it immediately and take it to a service agent.
6. Always dispose of your battery pack according to local
regulations. Contact a recycling agency in your area for
recycling locations. Even discharged batteries contain
some energy. Before disposing, use electrical tape to
cover the terminals to prevent the battery pack from
shorting, which could cause a fire or explosion.
3. Keep the charger clean. There is a risk of electrical
shock if it is dirty.
4. Check the charger, cable and plug before each use.
DO NOT use the charger if you detect any damage.
DO NOT open up the charger itself. Have it repaired
by qualified technical staff using original spare parts
only. There is an increased risk of electric shock from
damaged chargers, cables and plugs.

7. When using R2 Rechargeable Speed Ratchet with
lithium-ion batteries, usage must halt and the batteries
charged immediately when LED indicator light shows
continuous red (low voltage protection). This is in order
to prevent damage and ensure product lifespan.
8. When lithium-ion battery packs are left unused for over
3 months, they must be charged before use in order to
maintain their lifespan.
9. Lithium-ion battery pack must be charged periodically
in order to maintain lifespan.
10. When battery pack is not in use, keep it away from
other metal objects, such as 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.
