• Remove or disconnect battery before servicing, cleaning, or removing material from the appliance.
• Do not dispose of the battery in a re. The cell may explode. Check with local codes for
possible special disposal instructions.
• Do not open or mutilate the battery. Released electrolyte is corrosive and may cause damage
to the eyes or skin. It may be toxic if swallowed.
• Use appliances only with specically designated battery packs. Use of any other battery
packs may create a risk of injur y and re.
• Exercise care in handling batteries in order not to short the battery with conducting materials
such as rings, bracelets, and keys. The battery or conductor may overheat and cause burns.
• Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the off-position before connecting to

• Crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry products, and
• Arsenic and chromium from chemically treated lumber.
Your risk of exposure to these chemicals varies depending on how often you do this type of
work. To reduce your exposure to these chemicals, work in a well-ventilated area, and work
with approved safety equipment, such as dust masks that are specially designed to filter out
microscopic particles.
