SAFETY INFORMATION
BATTERY SAFETY RULES
• Battery tools do not have to be plugged into an electrical outlet; therefore, they are always in
operating condition. Be aware of possible hazards when not using your battery tool or when
changing accessories. Following this rule will reduce the risk of electric shock, re, or serious
personal injury.
• Do not place battery tools or their batteries near fire or heat. This will reduce the risk of
explosion and possibly 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.
• Batteries 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
immediately.Do not charge battery tool in a damp or wet location. Following this rule will
reduce the risk of electric shock.
• For best results, your battery tool should be charged in a location where the temperature is
more than 45°F but less than 104°F. To reduce the risk of serious personal injury, do not store
outside or in vehicles.
• Under extreme usage or temperature conditions, battery leakage may occur. If liquid comes
in contact with your skin, wash immediately with soap and water. If liquid gets into your eyes,
ush 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.
• When battery pack is not in use, keep it away from other metal objects like: paper clips, coins,
keys, nails, screws, or other small metal objects that can make a connection from one terminal
to another. Shorting the battery terminals together may cause sparks, burns, or a re.
• Always remove battery pack from your tool when you are assembling parts, making
adjustments, cleaning, or when not in use. Removing battery pack will prevent accidental
starting that could cause serious personal injury.

• Arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated lumber.
Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how often you do this type of work. To
reduce your exposure to these chemical: work in a well ventilated area, and work with approved
