Global Machinery Company 18VDT18V Additional safety instructions for the battery pack

•To reduce the risk of an electric shock, unplug the charger from the power supply before attempting to clean it. Removing the battery alone does not reduce the risk.

•Never attempt to connect two chargers together.

•Do not store or use the tool and battery pack in locations where the temperature may reach or exceed 104°F (40°C) such as alongside sheds or metal structures in the summer.

•The charger is designed for use from a standard household electrical supply (230–240 volts). Do not attempt to connect the charger to a supply with a different supply.

•If you wish to charge a second battery pack, unplug the charger from the mains supply and leave it for at least 15 minutes. After this time you can charge a second battery pack

Additional safety instructions for the battery pack

•The battery pack for this tool has been shipped in a low charge condition. You should charge the battery pack fully before use.

•Ensure the switch is in the off position before inserting battery pack. Inserting the battery pack into power tools that have the switch on invites accidents.

•Use power tools only with specifically designated battery packs. Use of any other battery packs may create a risk of injury and fire.

•To ensure the longest battery life and best battery performance, always charge the battery when the air temperature is between 18–24°C. Do not charge the battery pack when the temperature is below 0°C, or above 40°C. This is important. Failure to observe this safety rule could cause serious damage to the battery pack.

•When 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 terminals together may cause burns or a fire.

•Do not incinerate the battery pack even if it is seriously damaged or can no longer hold a charge. The battery pack can explode in a fire.

•Never attempt to open the battery pack for any reason. If the plastic housing of the battery pack breaks open or cracks, immediately discontinue its use and do not recharge it.

•Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from the battery; avoid contact. If contact accidentally occurs, flush with water. If liquid contacts eyes, additionally seek medical help. Liquid ejected from the battery may cause irritation or burns.

•The battery pack utilizes nickel-cadmium cells. Cadmium is considered to be a toxic material. Use an environmentally safe disposal unit at a municipal waste disposal centre to dispose of a damaged or worn out battery.
