Do not insert foreign matter into the battery port.
■
Do not charge by means of an engine generator or DC
power source.
■
Do not disassemble the battery.
■
Do not charge or store the tool and battery in loca-
tions where the temperature may reach or exceed
100
°
F (38
°
C), such as outside sheds or metal build-
ings.
■
Do not incinerate the battery, even if it is severely
damaged or completely worn out.
The battery may
explode in fire.
■
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
in your eyes, flush them with clean water for at least 10
minutes, then seek immediate medical attention.
■
Do not short-circuit the battery.
■
A damaged battery is subject to explosion.
To avoid
serious personal injury, properly dispose of a damaged

Further discharging (such as by placing a rubber band on
the trigger switch) can cause a deep discharge which
may result in polarity reversal of a cell, rendering the
battery useless.
■
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.

should still fail to fit, contact your electrician to replace
your obsolete outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose
of the polarized plug.
