WARNING!
To reduce the risk of electric shock, always unplug the charger before performing any cleaning
or maintenance. Do not allow water to flow into the charger. Use a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) to
reduce shock hazards.
• Do not burn or incinerate battery packs
– Battery packs may explode, causing personal injury or dam-
age. Toxic fumes and materials are created when battery packs are burned.
• Do not crush, drop or damage battery packs
– Do not use the battery pack or charger if they have sus-
tained a sharp blow, been dropped, run over or have been damaged in any way (i.e. pierced with a nail, hit with a
hammer, stepped on, etc.).
• Do not disassemble
– Incorrect reassembly may pose a serious risk of electric shock, fire or exposure to
toxic battery chemicals. If the battery or charger are damaged, call WEN customer service at 1-800-232-1195 for
assistance.
• Battery chemicals cause serious burns
– Never let a damaged battery pack contact the skin, eyes or
mouth. If a damaged battery pack leaks battery chemicals, use rubber or neoprene gloves to safely dispose of it.
If skin is exposed to battery fluids, wash the affected area with soap and water and rinse with vinegar. If eyes are
exposed to battery chemicals, immediately flush with water for 20 minutes and seek medical attention. Remove
and dispose of contaminated clothing.
• Do not short circuit
– A battery pack will short circuit if a metal object makes a connection between the posi-
tive and negative contacts on the battery pack. Do not place a battery pack near anything that may cause a short
circuit, such as paper clips, coins, keys, screws, nails and other metallic objects. A short-circuited battery pack
poses a risk of fire and severe personal injury.
• Store your battery pack and charger in a cool, dry place
– Do not store the battery pack or charger
where temperatures may exceed 104 °F, such as in direct sunlight or inside a vehicle or metal building during the
summer.
ABOUT THE BATTERY:
1. The battery pack supplied with your cordless tool is only partially charged. The battery pack has to be charged
completely before you use the tool for the first time.
2. For optimum battery performance, avoid low discharge cycles by charging the battery pack frequently.
3. Lithium-ion batteries are subject to a natural aging process. The battery pack must be replaced at the latest
when its capacity falls to just 80% of its capacity when new. Weakened cells in an aged battery pack are no longer
capable of meeting the high power requirements needed for the proper operation of your tool, and therefore pose
a safety risk.
4. Do not throw battery packs into an open fire as this poses a risk of explosion. Do not ignite the battery pack or
expose it to fire.
5. Do not exhaustively discharge batteries. Exhaustive discharge will damage the battery cells. The most common
cause of exhaustive discharge is lengthy storage or non-use of partially discharged batteries. Stop working as soon
as the performance of the battery falls noticeably or the electronic protection system triggers. Place the battery
pack in storage only after it has been fully charged.
