A charger intended for a specific type of battery may become a fire hazard if used with other types
of battery.
Use the tool with the specific intended battery pack only. The use of any other type of battery may

When the battery is not in use, store it away from other metal objects, such as paperclips, coins,
keys, nails, screws or other small metal objects that can create a connection between two terminals.
Keep batteries out of reach of children.
Short-circuiting the battery terminals can cause burns or fire.

In the case of accidental contact, rinse immediately under running water.
