This manual contains important safety instructions for the components.
Warning:
Before using, read and follow all instructions and cautionary markings on charger, battery pack and product using battery pack.
Warning:
To reduce the risk of injury, basic safety precautions should always be followed including:
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 the battery packs are burned.
Do not charge or use battery in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases or dust. Inserting or removing
the battery from the charger may ignite the dust or fumes.
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.
Contents of opened battery cells may cause respiratory irritation. Provide fresh air. If symptoms persist, seek medical attention.
Warning:
To reduce the risk of injury, basic safety precautions should always be followed including:
Charge battery packs only in Volt Edge 20V max Lithium-ion compatible chargers.
Do not store or charge the battery pack in locations where the temperature may reach above 95°F (35°C) or below 40°F (4°C).
Do not use the battery pack in locations where the temperature may reach above 120°F (49°C) or below -4°F (-20°C).
Warning:
Never attempt to open the battery pack for any reason. If the battery pack case is cracked or damaged, do not insert into charger or other Volt Edge
products. Do not crush, drop or damage battery pack. Do not use battery pack or charger that has received a sharp blow, been dropped, run over or
damaged in any way. Damaged battery packs should be taken to a lithium battery recycling center.
Warning:
Fire hazard. Do not store or carry battery so that metal objects can contact exposed battery terminals. Transporting batteries can possibly cause fires,
if the battery terminals inadvertently come in contact with conductive materials.
Warning:
Shock hazard. Do not allow any liquid to get inside charger.
Warning:
Burn hazard. To reduce the risk of injury, charge only designated Volt Edge 20Vmax batteries. Other types of batteries may burse, causing personal
injury and damage.
Caution:
Under certain conditions, with the charger plugged into the power supply, the charger can be shorted by foreign material. Foreign materials of a con-
ductive nature, such as, but not limited to, steel wool, aluminum foil or any buildup of metallic particles should be kept away from charger cavities.
Always unplug the charger from the power supply when there is no battery pack in the cavity. Unplug charger before attempting to clean.
