IMPORTANT SAFETY RULES FOR BATTERY

• USE ONLY THE CHARGER RECOMMENDED

FOR USE WITH YOUR WORKLIGHT. Do not

substitute any other charger. Use of another

charger could cause batteries to explode causing

possible serious injury.

• Your battery tool should be charged in a location
where the temperature is more than 50°F but

less than 100°F.
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 in your eyes, flush them

with clean water for at least 10 minutes, then

seek immediate medical attention.

WARNING: Batteries vent hydrogen gas and
can explode in the presence of a source 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 can propel debris and
chemicals. If exposed, flush with water immedi-

ately.

_, WARNING: Never use a battery pack that has

been damaged or received a sharp blow. A

damaged battery pack is subject to explosion.

Properly dispose of a damaged battery pack
immediately. Failure to heed this warning can
result in serious personal injury.
