WARNING
- To reduce the
risk of fire, electric shock, battery
explosion, or injury due to battery/
charger operation:
• Read all instructions in the charger’s/
battery’s manual and on the charger
and battery before using.
• Use only battery specified in this manual
for the Vac.
• Use your battery only on tools/ products
recommended or sold by the battery
manufacturer.
• Recharge battery only using the
specified charger for the battery.
• Never use a battery that has been
dropped or received a sharp blow. A
damaged battery is subject to explosion.
Properly dispose of a dropped battery
immediately.
• To avoid the risk of explosion, do not
expose the batteries to fire or heat.
• To reduce the risk of sparks, burns, or
fire, do not allow metal objects such as
paper clips or keys to come into contact
with the battery terminals when battery
is disconnected from the Vac.
• Batteries should be charged in a
location where the temperature is
between 50°F and 100°F.
• Battery must be dry when it is installed
on the charger.
• Do not store batteries outside or in
vehicles.
• Do not expose charger to wet or damp
conditions. Do not handle charger with
wet hands. Store indoors.
• To reduce the risk of damage to the
charger body and cord, pull by the plug
rather than cord when unplugging the
charger.
• Locate charger cord so that it will not be
stepped on, tripped over, or otherwise
subjected to damage or stress.
• Do not abuse cord. Never carry charger
by cord or yank it to unplug from
receptacle. Keep cord from heat, oil,
and sharp edges.
• Use of extension cords in poor condition
or that are too small in wire size can
pose fire and shock hazards. To reduce
the risk of these hazards, be sure the
extension cord is in good condition and
that the connection does not come into
contact with liquid. Use cord with
16 AWG or larger and no longer than
100 feet in length.
• Do not operate charger with a damaged
cord or plug. If damaged, have it
replaced by a qualified technician.
• Do not operate charger if it has received
a sharp blow, has been dropped, or is
otherwise damaged. Have it inspected
by a qualified technician before using.
• Do not disassemble charger. Take it to a
qualified technician if service or repair is
necessary.
• To reduce the risk of electric shock,
unplug charger before attempting any
maintenance or cleaning.
• Unplug charger when not in use.
• WARNING:
Batteries vent hydrogen
gas and can explode in the presence of
an ignition source, such as a pilot light.
To reduce the risk of explosion, do not
use any cordless product in the
presence of open flame.
• WARNING:
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 into
your eyes, flush them with clean water
for at least 10 minutes, then seek
immediate medical attention.
