• Do not probe battery charger with conductive ob -
jects. Shorting of battery terminals may cause sparks,
burns or electrical shock.
• Do not insert battery into charger if charger has
been dropped or damaged in any way. Damaged
charger increases the risk of electrical shock.
• Charge battery in temperatures above 41°F (5°C)
and below +104°F (40°C). Store charger and battery
packs in temperatures above -4°F (-20°C) and
below +104°F (40°C). Proper care will prevent serious
damage to batteries. Improper care of batteries may
result in battery leakage, electrical shock or burns.
