• Do not store or use the tool and battery pack in locations
where the temperature may reach or exceed 105°F (40°C) (such
as outside sheds or metal buildings in summer).
W A RNING: Never attempt to open the battery pack
for any reason, ff battery pack case is cracked or damaged, do not

Fire hazard. Do not store or carry
battery so that metal objects can contact exposed battery
terminals. For example, do not place battery in aprons, pockets, tool
boxes, product kit boxes, drawers, etc., with loose nails, screws,
keys, etc. Transporting batteries can possibly cause fires if the
battery terminals inadvertently come in contact with conductive
materials such as keys, coins, hand tools and the like. The US
Department of Transportation Hazardous Material Regulations (HMR)
actually prohibit transporting batteries in commerce or on airplanes (i.e.,
packed in suitcases and carry-on luggage) UNLESS they are properly
protected from short circuits. So when transporting individual batteries, make
sure that the battery terminals are protected and well insulated from
materials thatcould contact them and cause a short circuit. NOTE: M-ION
batteries should not be put in checked baggage.

while charging. This is a normal condition, and does not indicate a
problem. To facilitate the cooling of the battery pack after use, avoid
placing the charger or battery pack in a warm environment such as
