SAFETY INFORMATION
FOR BATTERY-OPERATED EQUIPMENT:
• Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the off-position before connecting to battery
pack, picking up or carrying the equipment. Carrying the equipment with your finger on the switch or
energizing equipment that have the switch on invites accidents.
• Disconnect the battery pack from the equipment before making any adjustments, changing
accessories, or storing equipment. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the
equipment accidentally.
• 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 equipment only with specifically designated battery packs. Use of any other battery packs may
create a risk of injury and fire.
• 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.
• 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.
• Do not use a battery pack or equipment that is damaged or modified. Damaged or modified batteries
may exhibit unpredictable behavior resulting in fire, explosion or risk of injury.
• Do not expose a battery pack or equipment to fire or excessive temperature. Exposure to fire or
temperature above 265°F (130°C) may cause an explosion.
• Have servicing performed by a qualified repair person using only identical replacement parts. This will
ensure that the safety of the product is maintained.
• Follow all charging instructions and do not charge the battery pack or appliance outside of the
temperature range specified in the instructions. Charging improperly or at temperatures outside of the
specified range may damage the battery and increase the risk of fire.
• Do not modify or attempt to repair the appliance or the battery pack except as indicated in the
instructions for use and care.
