Battery Safety Precautions:
• Do not place vacuum or batteries near fire or heat. This
will reduce the risk of explosion and possible injury.
• Do not crush, drop or damage battery pack. Do not use
a battery pack or charger that has been dropped or
received a sharp blow. A damaged battery is subject to
explosion. Properly dispose of a dropped or damaged
battery immediately.

of ignition, such as a pilot light. To reduce the risk of
serious personal injury, never use any cordless product
in the presence of open flame. An exploded battery

leakage may occur. If liquid comes in contact with the skin,
wash immediately with soap and water, then neutralize
with lemon juice or vinegar. If liquid gets into the eyes,
flush them with clean water for at least 10 minutes, then
seek immediate medical attention. Following this rule will
reduce the risk of serious personal injury.
