BATTERY TOOLS USE AND CARE
Read, understand and always follow the safety
instructions which came with your battery and charger.
Failure to do so may result in electric shock, fire or other
hazardous situations. Keep all the instructions together
in a safe place for future reference.
Battery operated products do not have to be plugged
into an electrical outlet; therefore, they are always in
operating condition. Remove the isolator key whenever
you are not operating the product.
Remove the battery
adjustments, cleaning, or removing material from the
product.
Ensure the isolator key is removed before inserting
battery pack.
A battery pack must be recharged only with the charger
specified by the manufacturer. Using a charger with an
incompatible battery pack may create a risk of fire. Use
battery pack only with charger listed.
Use only battery pack intended specifically for the

risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons.
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 pack terminals together may cause sparks,
burns, fire or explosion.
Do not place battery products or their batteries near
fire or heat. This increases the risk of explosion and
possibly injury.

irritate the respiratory system.
Do not leave the battery pack in a vehicle or outdoor
storage during hot or cold conditions.
Do not incinerate the battery. When the battery is
beyond its useful life, dispose of it correctly according
to the local regulations in your area.
