• 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. Failure to heed this warning can result in
serious personal injury.
• Save these instructions. Refer to them frequently and use
them to instruct others who may use this tool. If you loan
someone this tool, loan them these instructions also.
Battery & Charger Safety
Instructions
We pay a great deal of attention to the design of every battery
pack to ensure that we supply you with batteries that are safe,
durable and have a high energy density. The battery cells have
a wide range of safety devices. Each individual cell is initially
formatted and its electrical characteristic curves are recorded.
This data is then used exclusively to assemble the best possible
battery packs.
Despite all the safety precautions, caution must always be
exercised when handling batteries. The following points must
be obeyed at all times to ensure safe use. Safe use can only be
guaranteed if undamaged cells are used. Incorrect handling of
the battery packs can cause cell damage.
IMPORTANT! Analyses confirm that incorrect use and poor care
of high-performance batteries are the main factors responsible
for product damage and/or personal injury.

WARNING!
To reduce the risk of injury, use only official
24V IONMAX designated chargers and battery packs. The use
of other batteries or chargers poses a risk of fire, personal injury
and damage.
m
WARNING!
Do not use a battery pack or product that has
been damaged or modified. Damaged or modified batteries may
exhibit unpredictable behavior resulting in fire, explosion or risk
of injury.
Do not modify or attempt to repair the product or the battery
pack except as indicated in the instructions for use and care.
Do not wire a battery pack to a power supply or car cigarette
lighter, as such misuse will permanently disable or damage the
battery pack.
Have your battery pack serviced by a qualified repair person
using only identical replacement parts. This will ensure that the
safety of the battery pack is maintained.
m
WARNING!
To reduce the risk of electric shock,
always unplug the charger before performing any cleaning or
maintenance. Do not allow water to flow into the charger. Use a
Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) to reduce shock hazards.
• Remove battery – Remove the battery pack from the tool
when not in use, before servicing, or before performing any
other maintenance task. Never leave the tool unattended
while switched on. In the event of an accident or breakdown,
switch off the tool immediately.
• Avoid dangerous environments – Do not charge the battery
packs in rain, snow or in damp or wet locations. Do not use
the battery pack or charger in the presence of explosive
atmospheres (gaseous fumes, dust or flammable materials)
because sparks may be generated when inserting or
removing the battery packs, which could lead to a fire.
• NOTE: The safe temperature range for the batteries are 41°F
(5°C) to 105°F (40.5°C). Do not charge the batteries outside
in freezing weather; charge them at room temperature.
• Charge in a well-ventilated area – Do not block the charger
vents. Keep them clear to allow for proper ventilation. Do not
allow smoking or open flames near a charging battery pack.
Vented gases may explode.
• Maintain charger cord – When unplugging the charger, pull
the plug, not the cord from the receptacle to reduce the risk
of damage to the power cord. Never carry the charger by its
cord. Keep the cord away from heat, oil and sharp edges.
Make sure the cord will not be stepped on, tripped over or
subjected to damage or stress when the charger is in use.
Do not use a charger with a damaged cord or plug. Replace
a damaged charger immediately.
• Do not use an extension cord unless it is absolutely
necessary – Using the wrong, damaged or improperly wired
extension cord poses a risk of fire and electric shock. If
an extension cord must be used, plug the charger into a
properly wired 16 gauge or larger extension cord with the
female plug matching the male plug on the charger. Make
sure that the extension cord is in good electrical condition.
• Do not expose the machine or battery packs to fire –
Exposure to fire or temperatures above 265°F (130°C) may
cause the battery packs to explode, causing personal injury
or damage. Toxic fumes and materials are created when
battery packs are ignited.
• Do not crush, drop or damage battery packs – Do not
use the battery packs or charger if they have sustained a
sharp blow, been dropped from a height of more than 3 feet
(1 meter), run over or have been damaged in any way. Even
if the housing of a battery pack appears to be undamaged,
the battery cells inside the battery may have suffered serious
damage. In such instances, please read the waste disposal
information for proper battery disposal.
