6. Foreign materials of a conductive nature such as, but not limited
to, grinding dust, metal chips, 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 the charger before
attempting to clean.
7. Do not freeze or immerse the charger in water or any other liquid.
WARNING: Shock hazard. Don't allow any liquid to get inside the
charger. Electric shock may result.
WARNING: Burn hazard. Do not submerge the battery pack in any
liquid or allow any liquid to enter the battery pack. Never attempt to
open the battery pack for any reason. If the plastic housing of the
battery pack breaks or cracks, return to a service center for recycling.
Storage Recommendations
1. The best storage place is one that is cool and dry, away from direct
sunlight and excess heat or cold.
2. For long storage, it is recommended to store a fully charged
battery pack in a cool dry place out of the charger for optimal
results.
NOTE: Battery packs should not be stored completely depleted of
charge. The battery pack will need to be recharged before use.

Side Handle (Fig. 2)
WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury, ALWAYS operate
the tool with the side handle (A) properly installed. Failure to do so may
result in the side handle slipping during tool operation and subsequent
loss of control. Hold tool with both hands to maximize control.
The side handle (A) clamps to the front barrel (collar) and may be
rotated 360° to permit right-or left-hand use. The side handle can
be tightened by rotating the black plastic portion of the side handle
clockwise. The side handle must be tightened sufficiently to resist the
twisting action of the tool if the accessory binds or stalls. Be sure to
grip the side handle at the far end to control the tool during a stall. To
loosen side handle, rotate counterclockwise.
