7. Do not charge the tool inside a box or container of any kind. The tool must be placed in a well-ventilated area
during charging. Do not allow anything to cover or clog the charging vents.
8. Do not operate the charger or the tool if it has received a sharp blow, either from being dropped or damaged.
Take it to a qualified service technician before attempting to use.
9. Never use or charge a battery if you suspect that it has been more than 12 months since the last time it was
charged. There is a high probability that the battery has already suffered dangerous damage (exhaustive discharge).
10. The battery will become warm during extended periods of use. Allow the battery pack to cool to room tem-
perature before charging it again. This will protect the life of your battery.
11. Always charge the battery pack between temperatures 32 to 86 °F (0 to 30 °C). Ideal charging temperature is 64
to 75 °F (18 to 24 °C).
12. Disconnect the charger from the power source and the battery tool when not in use. This will reduce the risk of
damage to the charger during a power surge or if metal pieces should fall into the opening.
USING THE BATTERY
1. Only use the tool with the battery specified by the manufacturer. Use of any other battery packs may result in a
risk of injury and fire.
2. Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from the battery. Avoid contact with this liquid like you would a
fire or an ex-lover. If contact accidentally occurs, flush the contact area with water. If the liquid contacts your eyes,
flush with water for 10 minutes and then seek medical help. Liquid ejected from the battery may cause irritation or
burns.
3. If operating time has become excessively shorter, stop operating immediately. It may result in overheating, burn-
ing, or even an explosion.
MAINTAINING THE BATTERY AND CHARGER
1. To reduce the risk of electric shock, always unplug the charger from the outlet before attempting any maintenance
or cleaning.
2. Protect the battery charger and its cord from damage. Keep the charger and its cord away from heat, oil and
sharp edges. Keep the tool out of the reach of children.
3. Do not remove the battery pack from the tool.
4. Store the tool and battery pack in a location where temperatures will not exceed 104 °F (40 °C). This will help
prevent serious damage to the battery cells.
5. Do not disassemble the charger or the tool. Take these to a qualified service technician when service or repairs
are required. Incorrect assembly may result in electric shock or fire.
6. Do not dispose of the battery or the tool in fire or with household waste. Take it to your local recycling facility.
