10. Battery tool use and care
- Recharge only with the charger specified by
the manufacturer. A charger that is suitable for
one type of battery cartridge may create a risk of
fire when used with another battery cartridge.
- Use power tools only with specifically desig-
nated battery cartridges. Use of any other bat-
tery cartridges may create a risk of injury and fire.

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 bat-
tery terminals together may cause burns or a fire.

ejected from the battery; avoid contact. If con-
tact accidentally occurs, flush with water. If
liquid contacts eyes, additionally seek medical
help. Liquid ejected from the battery may cause
irritation or burns.
