•Do not charge battery pack when temperature is below 50 degrees F (10 degrees C) or above 104 degrees F (40 degrees C). Store tool and battery pack in a location where

temperature will not exceed 122 degrees F (50 degree C). This is important to prevent serious damage to the battery cells.

•Place charger on flat non-flammable surface and away from flammable materials when re-charging the battery pack.

•To reduce risk of electric shock, unplug charger from outlet before attempting any maintenance or cleaning.

•If operating time has become excessively shorter, stop operating immediately. It may result in a risk of overheating, possible burns and even an explosion.

•Battery leakage may occur under extreme usage or temperature conditions. Avoid contact with skin and eyes. If liquid comes in contact with your skin, wash immediately with soap and water. If liquid gets into your eyes, wash them out with clear water for at least 10 minutes, and then seek medical attention right away.

•Do not attempt to use a step-up transformer, an engine generator or DC power receptacle.

•Do not short the battery pack. Do not touch the terminal with any conductive material. Avoid storing battery pack in a container with other metal objects such as nails, coins, etc. Always protect the battery terminals when battery pack is not used.
