To avoid serious injury, risk of fire, explosion and danger of electric shock or electrocution:

Do not charge these batteries with any other type of charger.

Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other construction activities
contains chemicals known to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. Some examples
of these chemicals are:
•
Lead from lead-based paints
•
Crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry products, and
•
Arsenic and chromium from chemically treated lumber.
Your risk of exposure to these chemicals varies depending on how often you do this type of work.
To reduce your exposure to these chemicals, work in a well-ventilated area, and work with approved
safety equipment, such as dust masks that are specially designed to filter out microscopic particles.
