SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES
BATTERY TOOL USE AND CARE
Ensure the switch is in the off position before inserting
battery pack.
Inserting the battery pack into power tools
that have the switch on invites accidents.
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.
Use power tools 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
connection from one terminal to another.
Shorting the
battery terminals together may cause burns or a fire.
Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from
the battery, avoid contact. If contact accidentally
occurs, flush with water. If liquid contacts eyes,
additionally seek medical help.
Liquid ejected from the
battery may cause irritation or burns.

electric shock, fire, or serious personal injury.
Do not place battery tools or their batteries near fire
or heat.

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 vent hydrogen gas and 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
exploded battery can propel debris and chemicals. If
exposed, flush with water immediately.
Do not charge battery tool in a damp or wet location.
Following this rule will reduce the risk of electric shock.
For best results, your battery tool should be charged
in a location where the temperature is more than
50°F but less than 100°F.
To reduce the risk of serious
personal injury, do not store outside or in vehicles.
Under extreme usage or temperature conditions,
battery leakage may occur. 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.
