BATTERY TOOL USE AND CARE
•Make sure that the switch is in the OFF position before inserting the battery pack. Inserting the battery pack into power tools that have the switch ON invites accidents.
Recharge only with the charger specified by the manufacturer. A charger that is suitable for one type of battery pack may create a risk of fire when used with another battery pack.
Use power tools only with specifically designated battery packs. Use of any other battery packs may create a risk of injury and fire.
When the battery pack is not in use, keep it away from other metal objects, such as 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 burns or a fire.
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, fire, or serious personal injury.
Do not place battery tools or their batteries near fire or heat. This will reduce the risk of explosion and possible injury.
Do not crush, drop or damage the 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.
A damaged battery is subject to explosion. Properly dispose of a dropped or damaged battery immediately.
Batteries vent hydrogen gas and 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 to such debris or chemicals, immediately flush the exposed area with water.
Do not charge a battery tool in a damp or wet location. Following this rule will reduce the risk of electric shock.
•Under extreme usage or temperature conditions, battery leakage may occur.
•If contact accidentally occurs, flush with water. If liquid contacts eyes, seek medical help. Liquid ejected from the battery may cause irritation or burns.
•If liquid comes in contact with your skin, wash immediately with soap and water, then neutralize with lemon juice or vinegar.
•If liquid from the battery gets in your eyes, flush them with clean water for at least 10 minutes, and then seek immediate medical attention. Following this rule will reduce the risk of serious personal injury.
