Battery tools do not have to be plugged into an 

electrical outlet. Therefore, they are always in 

operating condition. Be aware of possible hazards 

when not using your battery tool or when changing 

accessories.

 Follow this rule to reduce the risk of 

electric shock, fire, or serious personal injury.

 

Do not place battery tools or their battery packs 

near fire or heat.

 Follow this rule to reduce the risk of 

personal injury.

 

Do not crush, drop or damage the battery pack. Do 

not use a battery pack or charger that has been 

dropped or has received a sharp blow.

 Properly 

dispose of a dropped or damaged battery immediately.

 

Do not charge a battery tool in a damp or wet 

location. 

Follow this rule to reduce the risk of electric 

shock.

 

Charge a

 battery tool in a location where the temperature 

is more than 10°C but less than 25°C. To reduce the risk 

of serious personal injury, do not store the battery tool 

outside or in vehicles.

 

Under extreme usage or temperature conditions, 

battery leakage may occur. If the liquid comes 

in contact with the 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

BATTERY TOOL USE AND CARE

 

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 battery tools only with specifically designated 

battery packs.

 Use of any other battery packs may 

create a risk of injury and fire.

 

When the 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.

ADDITIONAL BATTERY SAFETY WARNINGS

 WARNING! 

To reduce the risk of fire, personal injury, 

and product damage due to a short circuit, never immerse 

your  tool,  battery  pack  or  charger  in  fluid  or  allow  fluid  to 

flow  inside  them.  Corrosive  or  conductive  fluids,  such 

as seawater, certain industrial chemicals, and bleach or 

bleach-containing products, etc., can cause a short circuit.

TRANSPORTING LITHIUM BATTERIES

Transport the battery in accordance with local and national 

provisions and regulations.
Follow all special requirements on packaging and labelling 

when transporting batteries by a third party. Ensure that 

no batteries can come in contact with other batteries 

or conductive materials while in transport by protecting 

exposed connectors with insulating, non-conductive caps or 

tape. Do not transport batteries that are cracked or leaking. 

Check with the forwarding company for further advice.
