• Remove and store the battery pack/batteries when you are not using
the product.
Any battery leakage that occurs may cause product damage.
• Before you discard the battery pack/batteries, cover the terminals
with tape or other insulators.
Contacting other metal materials may lead to fire or explosions.
• Unplug any battery charger used with the product when not in use.
Do not cover with a cloth or other objects when in use.
Leaving the unit plugged in for a long period of time may cause it to
overheat and distort, resulting in fire.
• Do not leave any dedicated battery packs near pets.
Pets biting the battery pack could cause leakage, overheating, or explosion,
resulting in product damage or fire.
