SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES

BATTERY SAFETY

nBattery operated units do not have to be plugged into an electrical outlet; therefore, they are always in operating condition. Be aware of possible hazards even when unit is not operating.

nRemove the battery pack from the chain saw before cleaning, servicing, storing, removing material from the unit, changing accessories such as the bar and chain, or when not in use.

nA battery pack must be recharged only with the speci- fied charger for the battery pack. A charger that may be suitable for one type of battery pack may create a risk of fire when used with another battery pack. Use battery pack only with charger listed.

nTo reduce the risk of explosion and possible injury, Do not place battery units or their batteries near fire or heat.

nDo not open or mutilate the battery pack. Released elec- trolyte is corrosive and may cause damage to the eyes or skin. It may be toxic if swallowed.

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.

nBatteries can explode in the presence of a source of ig- nition, 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 pack can propel debris and chemicals. If exposed, flush with water immediately.

nDo not charge unit in a damp or wet location. Following this rule will reduce the risk of electric shock.

nFor best results, your battery unit should be charged in a location where the temperature is more than 50°F but less than 100°F. Do not store outside or in vehicles.

nUnder extreme usage or temperature conditions, battery pack 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 into your eyes, flush them with clean water for at least 10 minutes, then seek immediate medical attention.

nDo not dispose of batteries in a fire. The cell may explode. Batteries should be recycled, consult your local waste authority for information regarding available recycling and/or disposal options.

nWhen 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 pack terminals together may cause sparks, burns, or a fire.
