WARNING:
RISK OF FIRE, PROPERTY DAMAGE, AND INJU-
RY. NEVER EXPOSE YOUR BATTERY PACK OR
CHARGER TO WATER, MOISTURE, OR FLUIDS,
INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO CORROSIVE
OR CONDUCTIVE FLUIDS, OR ALLOW FLUIDS
TO FLOW INSIDE THESE ITEMS.
Corrosive or conductive fluids, such as salt water,
chlorine, certain industrial chemicals, and bleach
or bleach containing products, etc., can cause a
short circuit in the battery pack. If your battery pack
is exposed to a corrosive or conductive fluid, do
not attempt to use or charge the battery pack and
immediately perform the following steps:
• W ear appropriate personal protective equipment,
including eye protection and rubber gloves.
• P lace your exposed battery pack in a large bucket,
such as a 5 gallon or similar bucket, and fill the
bucket with regular tap water. Do not place more
than two packs in the bucket.
• L ocate the bucket outdoors in an area inaccessible
to children and pets and away from all buildings,
garages/sheds, structures, vehicles, and
combustible/flammable materials.
• L eave the battery pack(s) in the bucket filled with
tap water and call Customer Service at 1-800-
776-5191 for additional instructions on the proper
disposal of the exposed battery pack(s).
Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the
switch is in the off-position before connecting
to power source and/or battery pack, picking up
or carrying the product. Carrying battery products
with your finger on the switch or energizing battery
products that have the switch on invites accidents.
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 spot cleaner 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 sparks, burns, or a fire.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
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 product that is
damaged or modified. Damaged or modified
batteries may exhibit unpredictable behavior
resulting in fire, explosion or risk of injury.
Follow all charging instructions and do not
charge the battery pack or product 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.
