metallic object such as paper clips, coins, keys, nails,
screws or any other object that could cause the terminals
to make contact, since it would cause a short circuit that
could cause burns or fire.
• Under extreme conditions, battery fluid
may leak. If so, avoid any contact. If accidental contact
occurs, wash with abundant water, rinse with lemon juice
and vinegar. If the liquid enters in contact with the eyes,
wash with abundant water during several minutes and look
for medical help immediately. The liquid expelled from the
batteries could cause irradiation or burns.

When operating a tool outdoors, use an extension cord suitable
for outdoor use.
Using an adequate outdoor extension cord reduces the risk of electric shock.
If operating the tool in a damp location cannot be avoided, use
a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) protected supply.
Using a GFCI reduces the risk of electric shock.
