SPECIFIC RULES FOR BATTERY OPERATION
Do not use battery-operated appliance in rain.
Remove or disconnect battery before servicing,
cleaning or removing material from the tool.
Use this product only with batteries and chargers
listed in tool/appliance/battery pack/charger
correlation supplement 988000-842.
Store idle appliances – When not in use, tool should be
stored indoors in a dry, locked place out of the reach of
children.
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.
Do not use a battery pack or appliance that is dam-
aged 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 appliance to fire or
excessive temperature. Exposure to fire or temperature
above 265°F may cause explosion.
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.
Have servicing performed by a qualified repair person
using only identical replacement parts. This will ensure
that the safety of the product is maintained.
Do not dispose of the batteries in a fire. The cell may
explode. Check with local codes for possible special
disposal instructions.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
Do not open or mutilate the batteries. Released elec-
trolyte is corrosive and may cause damage to the eyes
or skin. It may be toxic if swallowed.
Do not place battery tools or their batteries near fire
or heat. This will reduce the risk of explosion and possibly
injury.
Batteries can explode in the presence of a source
of ignition, such as a pilot light. To reduce the risk of
serious personal injury, never use any cordless product
in the presence of open flame. An exploded battery can
propel debris and chemicals. If exposed, flush with water
immediately.
Do not crush, drop or damage battery pack. Do not
use a battery pack or charger that has been dropped
or received a sharp blow. A damaged battery is subject
to explosion. Properly dispose of a dropped or damaged
battery immediately.
Exercise care in handling batteries in order not to
short the battery with conducting materials such as
rings, bracelets, and keys. The battery or conductor
may overheat and cause burns.
Under extreme usage or temperature conditions,
battery leakage may occur. If liquid comes in contact
with your skin, wash immediately with soap and water.
If liquid gets into your eyes, flush them with clean water
for at least 10 minutes, then seek immediate medical at-
tention. Following this rule will reduce the risk of serious
personal injury.
