IMPORTANT SAFETY 

INSTRUCTIONS

 WARNING:

When using electric tools, basic safety precautions should 
always be followed to reduce the risk of fire, electric 
shock, and personal injury, including the following:
1. Read this instruction manual and the charger 

instruction manual carefully before use.

2. Clean only with dry cloth.
3. Do not install near any heat sources such as radiators, 

heat registers, stoves, or other apparatus (including 
amplifiers) that produce heat.

4. Only use attachments/accessories specified by the 

manufacturer.

5. Unplug this apparatus during lighting storms or when 

unused for long periods of time.

6. A battery operated radio with integral batteries or a 

separate battery pack must be recharged only with the 
specified charger for the battery. A charger that may 
be suitable for one type of battery may create a risk of 
fire when used with another battery.

7. Use battery operated radio only with specifically 

designated battery packs. Use of any other batteries 
may create a risk of fire.

8. 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 sparks, burns, 
or a fire.

9. Avoid body contact with grounded surfaces such as 

pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There is an 
increased risk of electric shock if your body is 
grounded.

10. Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from 

the battery; avoid contact. If contact accidentally 
occurs, flush with water. If liquid contacts eyes, 
additionally seek medical help. Liquid ejected from the 
battery may cause irritation or burns.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.

SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES FOR 

BATTERY CARTRIDGE

1. Before using battery cartridge, read all instructions 

and cautionary markings on (1) battery charger, (2) 
battery, and (3) product using battery.

2. Do not disassemble battery cartridge.
3. If operating time has become excessively shorter, stop 

operating immediately. It may result in a risk of 
overheating, possible burns and even an explosion.

4. If electrolyte gets into your eyes, rinse them out with 

clear water and seek medical attention right away. It 
may result in loss of your eyesight.

5. Do not short the battery cartridge:

(1)

Do not touch the terminals with any conductive 
material.

(2)

Avoid storing battery cartridge in a container with 
other metal objects such as nails, coins, etc.

(3)

Do not expose battery cartridge to water or rain. 
A battery short can cause a large current flow, 
overheating, possible burns and even a 
breakdown.

6. Do not store the tool and battery cartridge in locations 

where the temperature may reach or exceed 50°C 
(122°F).

7. Do not incinerate the battery cartridge even if it is 

severely damaged or is completely worn out. The 
battery cartridge can explode in a fire.

8. Be careful not to drop or strike battery.
9. Do not use a damaged battery.
10. To avoid risk, the manual of replaceable the battery 

should be read before use.
And the max discharging current of the battery should 
be greater than or equal to 8A.

 CAUTION:

• Danger of explosion if battery is incorrectly replaced.
• Replace only with the same or equivalent type.
