Battery/Charger

Before using battery charger, read all instructions and cautionary markings on (1) battery charger, (2) bat- tery pack, and (3) product using battery.

Use only the charger which accompanied your product or direct replacement as listed in the catalog or this manual. Do not substitute any other charger. Use only Dremel battery charger No. 856 with your product.

Do not disassemble charger or operate the charger if it has received a sharp blow, been dropped or other- wise damaged in any way. Replace damaged cord or plugs immediately. Incorrect reassembly or damage may result in electric shock or fire.

Do not recharge battery in damp or wet environment. Do not expose charger to rain or snow. If battery case is cracked or otherwise damaged, do not insert into charger. Battery short or fire may result.

Charge only Dremel No. 855 rechargeable batteries with the above listed chargers. Other types of batter- ies may burst causing personal injury and damage.

Charge battery pack in temperatures above +40 degrees F (4 degrees C) and below +105 degrees F (41 degrees C). Store tool and battery pack in loca-

tions where temperatures will not exceed 120 degrees F (49 degrees C). This is important to prevent serious damage to the battery cells.

Battery leakage may occur under extreme usage or temperature conditions. Avoid contact with skin and eyes. The battery liquid is caustic and could cause chemical burns to tissues. If liquid comes in contact with skin, wash quickly with soap and water. If the liquid contacts your eyes, flush them with water for a minimum of 10 minutes and seek medical attention. If contents of an opened cell causes respiratory irritation, provide fresh air and call a doctor.

Place charger on flat non-flammable surfaces and away from flammable materials when re-charging battery pack. The charger and battery pack heat during charging. Carpeting and other heat insulating surfaces block proper air circulation which may cause overheating of the charger and battery pack. If smoke or melting of the case are observed unplug the charger immediately and do not use the battery pack or charger.

Use of an attachment not recommended or sold by Dremel may result in a risk of fire, electric shock or injury to persons.

Battery Care

	charger, keep them away from

metal objects. For example, to protect terminals from shorting DO NOT place batteries in a tool box or pocket

with nails, screws, keys, etc. Fire or injury may result.

DO NOT PUT BATTERIES INTO FIRE OR EXPOSE TO HIGH HEAT. They may explode.

Battery Disposal

Do not attempt to disassemble the ! WARNING battery or remove any component

projecting from the battery terminals. Fire or injury may result. Prior to disposal, protect exposed terminals with heavy insulating tape to prevent shorting.

Lithium-ion Batteries

If equipped with a lithium-ion battery, the battery must be collected, recycled or disposed of in an environ- mentally sound manner.

“The EPA certified RBRC Battery Recycling Seal on the lithium-ion (Li-ion) battery indicates Robert Bosch Tool Corporation is voluntarily participating in an industry program to collect and recycle these batteries

at the end of their useful life, when taken out of service in the United States or Canada. The RBRC program provides a convenient alterative to placing used Li-ion batteries into the trash or the municipal waste stream, which may be illegal in your area.

Please call 1-800-8-BATTERY for information on Li-ion battery recycling and disposal bans/restrictions in your area, or return your batteries to a Skil/Bosch/Dremel Service Center for recycling.
