Furthermore, please heed the following warning and caution.
WARNING
In order to prevent any battery leakage, heat generation, smoke emission, explosion and ignition beforehand, please be sure to heed the following precautions.
1.Make sure that swarf and dust do not collect on the battery.
During work make sure that swarf and dust do not fall on the battery.
Make sure that any swarf and dust falling on the power tool during work do not collect on the battery.
Do not store an unused battery in a location exposed to swarf and dust.
Before storing a battery, remove any swarf and
dust that may adhere to it and do not store it together with metal parts (screws, nails, etc.).
2.Do not pierce battery with a sharp object such as a nail, strike with a hammer, step on, throw or subject the battery to severe physical shock.
3.Do not use an apparently damaged or deformed battery.
4.Do not use the battery in reverse polarity.
5.Do not connect directly to an electrical outlets or car cigarette lighter sockets.
6.Do not use the battery for a purpose other than those specified.
7.If the battery charging fails to complete even when a specified recharging time has elapsed, immediately stop further recharging.
8.Do not put or subject the battery to high temperatures or high pressure such as into a microwave oven, dryer, or high pressure container.
9.Keep away from fire immediately when leakage or foul odor are detected.
10.Do not use in a location where strong static electricity generates.
11.If there is battery leakage, foul odor, heat generated, discolored or deformed, or in any way appears abnormal during use, recharging or storage, immediately remove it from the equipment or battery charger, and stop use.
CAUTION
1.If liquid leaking from the battery gets into your eyes, do not rub your eyes and wash them well with fresh clean water such as tap water and contact a doctor immediately.
