Electrical and battery safety
1.
Avoid dangerous environment. Don't use the tool in damp or wet locations or expose it to rain.
Water entering the tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
2.
Recharge only with the charger specified by the manufacturer. A charger that is suitable for one
type of battery pack may create a risk of fire when used with another battery pack.
3.
Use power tools only with specifically designated battery packs. Use of any other battery packs
may create a risk of injury and fire.
4.
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.
5.
Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from the battery; avoid contact. If contact
accidentally occurs, flush with water. If liquid contacts eyes, seek medical help. Liquid ejected from the
battery may cause irritation or burns.
6.
Do not dispose of the battery(ies) in a fire. The cell may explode. Check with local codes for
possible special disposal instructions.
