Pack/Charger Correlation Supplement 987000-432.
Do not dispose of the batteries in a fire. The cell may
explode. Check with local codes for possible special
disposal instructions.
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 place battery tools or their batteries near fire or
heat. This will reduce the risk of explosion and possibly
injury.
Batteries can explode in the presence of a source of
ignition, such as a pilot light. To reduce the risk of seri-
ous personal injury, never use any cordless product in
the presence of open flame. An exploded battery can
propel debris and chemicals. If exposed, flush with water
immediately.
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.
Under extreme usage or temperature conditions, battery
leakage may occur. If liquid comes in contact with your
skin, wash immediately with soap and water. 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.
Recharge only with the charger specified by the manu-
facturer. A charger that is suitable for one type of battery
pack may create a risk of fire when used with another
battery pack.
Use appliances only with specifically designated battery
packs. Use of any other battery packs may create a risk
of injury and fire.
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 connec-
tion from one terminal to another. Shorting the battery
terminals together may cause burns or a fire.
Follow all charging instructions and do not charge the
battery pack or appliance outside of the temperature
range specified in the instructions. Charging improperly
or at temperatures outside of the specified range may
damage the battery and increase the risk of fire.
