READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS
Important Safety Instructions for All Battery Packs
WARNING: Read all safety warnings, instructions, and cautionary markings for the battery pack,
charger and product. Failure to follow the warnings and instructions may result in electric shock, fire
and/or serious injury.
●
Do not charge or use the battery pack in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of
flammable liquids, gases or dust. Inserting or removing the battery pack from the charger may
ignite the dust or fumes.
●
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.
●
NEVER force the battery pack into the charger. DO NOT modify the battery pack in any way to fit
into a non-compatible charger as battery pack may rupture causing serious personal injury.
Consult the chart at the end of this manual for compatibility of batteries and chargers.
●
Charge the battery packs only in ALEAPOW chargers.
●
DO NOT splash or immerse in water or other liquids.
●
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 outside sheds or metal buildings in summer). For best life store
battery packs in a cool, dry location. NOTE: Do not store the battery packs in a tool with the trigger
switch locked on. Never tape the trigger switch in the ON position.
●
Do not expose battery pack or tool/appliance to fire or excessive temperature. Exposure to fire or
temperature above 265 °F (130 °C) may cause explosion.
●
Do not incinerate the battery pack even if it is severely damaged or is completely worn out. The
battery pack can explode in a fire. Toxic fumes and materials are created when lithium-ion battery
packs are burned.
●
If battery contents come into contact with the skin, immediately wash area with mild soap and
water. If battery liquid gets into the eye, rinse water over the open eye for 15 minutes or until
irritation ceases. If medical attention is needed, the battery electrolyte is composed of a mixture of
liquid organic carbonates and lithium salts.
●
Contents of opened battery cells may cause respiratory irritation. Provide fresh air. If symptoms
persist, seek medical attention.
WARNING: Burn hazard. Battery liquid may be flammable if exposed to spark or flame.
WARNING: Fire hazard. Never attempt to open the battery pack for any reason. If the battery
pack case is cracked or damaged, do not insert into the charger. Do not crush, drop or damage the
battery pack. Do not use a battery pack or charger that has received a sharp blow, been dropped, run
over or damaged in any way (e.g., pierced with a nail, hit with a hammer, stepped on). Damaged
battery packs should be returned to the service center for recycling.
Storage Recommendations
1.
The best storage place is one that is cool and dry, away from direct sunlight and excess heat or
cold.
2.
For long storage, it is recommended to store a fully charged battery pack in a cool dry place out of
the charger for optimal results.
NOTE: Battery packs should not be stored completely depleted of charge. The battery pack will need
to be recharged before use.
