• Do not charge battery pack
when temperature is below 50° F (10° C) or above 104° F (40° C). Store tool
and battery pack in a location where temperature will not exceed 122° F (50° C). This is important to prevent serious
damage to the battery cells.
• Place charger on flat non-flammable surface
and away from flammable materials when re-charging the
battery pack
.
• To reduce risk of electric shock, unplug charger from outlet before attempting any maintenance or cleaning.
• If operating time has become excessively shorter,
stop operating immediately. It may result in a risk of
overheating, possible burns and even an explosion.
• Battery leakage may occur under extreme usage or temperature conditions. Avoid contact with skin and eyes.
If liquid comes in contact with your skin, wash immediately with soap and water. If liquid gets into your eyes, wash
them out with clear water for at least 10 minutes, and then seek medical attention right away.
• Do not attempt to use a step-up transformer,
an engine generator or DC power receptacle.

Do not touch the terminal with any conductive material. Avoid storing battery
pack in a container with other metal objects such as nails, coins, etc. Always protect the battery terminals when

even if it is severely damaged or is completely worn out. The battery
pack can explode in a fire.

shock or damage to the charger if metal pieces should fall into the opening. It also will help prevent damage to the
charger during a power surge.

Warning:
a battery short can cause a large current flow, overheating, possible
burns and even a breakdown.

120 volts are present at charging terminals, do not probe with conductive
objects. Electric shock or electrocution may result. Do not allow any liquid to get inside
