BATTERY AND CHARGER SAFETY
■ Connect and disconnect the battery pack properly.
● To install battery pack:
– Place the battery pack on the product.
– Make sure the latches on each side of the
battery pack snap into place and the battery
pack is secured on the product before beginning
operation.
● To remove battery pack:
– Depress the latches on the side of the battery
pack.
– Remove the battery pack from the product.
■ A battery operated product with integral batteries or a
separate battery pack must be recharged only with the
specified charger for the battery. A charger that may be
suitable for one type of battery may create a risk of fire
when used with another battery.
■ Do not expose charger to wet or damp conditions.
■ Do not place batteries near fire or heat. They may
explode.
■ Do not expose a battery pack or tool to fire or excessive
temperature. Exposure to fire or temperature above
130 °C may cause explosion.
■ Do not place product near any heat sources such as
radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other products
(including amplifiers) that produce heat.
■ 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.
■ Battery products 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 product or when changing accessories.
Following the rule will reduce the risk of electric shock,
fire, or serious personal injury.
■ Danger of explosion if battery is incorrectly replaced.
Replace only with the same or equivalent type.
■ Use of an attachment not recommended or sold by the
battery charger manufacturer may result in a risk of fire,
electric shock, or injuries to person.
■ 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 fire.
■ To reduce risk of damage to charger body and cord, pull
by charger plug rather than cord when disconnecting
charger.
■ For best results, your battery product should be
charged in a location where the temperature is more
than 10°C (50°F) but less than 38°C (100°F). To reduce
the risk of serious personal injury, do not store outside
or in vehicles.
■ Follow all charging instructions and do not charge the
battery pack or tool outside the temperature range
specified in the instructions. Charging improperly or at
temperatures outside the specified range may damage
the battery and increase the risk of fire.
■ Do not charge battery product in a damp or wet location.
Following the rule will reduce the risk of electric shock.
■ Make sure cord is located so that it will not be stepped
on, tripped over, or otherwise subjected to damage and
2
stress.
■ 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.
■ An extension cord should not be used unless absolutely
necessary. Use of improper extension cord could result
in a risk of fire and electric shock. If extension cord must
be used, make sure:
a) That pins on plug of extension cord are the same
number, size and shape as those of plug on
charger.
b) That extension cord is properly wired and in good
electrical condition.
■ Do not operate charger with a damaged cord or plug.
If damaged, have it replaced immediately by a qualified
serviceman.
■ Do not operate charger if it has received a sharp blow,
been dropped, or otherwise damaged in any way; take
it to a qualified serviceman.
■ Do not disassemble charger; take it to a qualified
serviceman when service or repair is required. Incorrect
reassembly may result in a risk of electric shock or fire.
■ To reduce risk of electric shock, unplug the charger
from outlet before attempting any maintenance or
cleaning. Turning off controls will not reduce this risk.
■ Disconnect charger from power supply when not in use.
■ Risk of electric shock. Do not touch uninsulated portion
of output connector or uninsulated battery terminal.
■ Do not use a battery pack or tool that is damaged or
modified. Damaged or modified batteries may exhibit
unpredictable behavior resulting in fire, explosion or
risk of injury.
■ Rechargeable batteries are to be removed from the
appliance before being charged.
■ Different types of batteries or new and used batteries
are not to be mixed.
■ Batteries are to be inserted with the correct polarity.
■ Exhausted batteries are to be removed from the
appliance and safely disposed of.
■ If the appliance is to be stored unused for a long period,
the batteries should be removed.
■ The supply terminals are not to be short-circuited.
■ 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, flush them with clean water
for at least 10 minutes, then seek immediate medical
attention. Following the rule will reduce the risk of
serious personal injury.
■ Do not dispose of used battery packs in the household
refuse or by burning them. Take them to an appropriate
disposal/collection site.
