BATTERY TOOL USE AND CARE

■

manufacturer.

A charger that is suitable for one type

of battery pack may create a risk of fire when used with
another battery pack.

create a risk of injury and fire.

■

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.

■

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.

■

Do not use a battery pack or tool that is damaged or
modified.

Damaged or modified batteries may exhibit

unpredictable behaviour resulting in fire, explosion or
risk of injury.

or excessive temperature.

Exposure to fire or

temperature above 130°C may cause explosion.

■

Follow all charging instructions and do not charge
the battery pack or tool outside the temperature
range specified in the instructions.

Charging

improperly or at temperatures outside the specified
range may damage the battery and increase the risk
of fire.
