EXTRA SAFETY REGULATIONS CONCERNING BATTERY
1. To ensure the longest battery life and best battery performance, always
charge the battery when the temperature is between 18-24°C. Do not charge
the battery pack when the temperature is below 0°C, or above 40°C. This is
important. Failure to observe this safety rule could cause serious damage to
the battery pack.
2. Do not incinerate the battery pack even if it is seriously damaged or can no
longer hold a charge. The battery pack can explode in a fire.
3. A small leakage of liquid from the battery pack may occur under extreme
usage or temperature. This does not necessarily indicate a failure of the
battery pack. However, if the outer seal is broken and this leakage comes into
contact with your skin:
• Wash the affected area quickly with soap and water.
• Neutralise the liquid with a mild acid such as lemon juice or vinegar.
If the leakage gets in your eyes:
• Flush your eyes with clean water for a minimum of 10 minutes and seek immediate
medical attention. Inform the medical staff that the liquid is a 25-35% solution of
potassium hydroxide.
4. Never attempt to open the battery pack for any reason. If the plastic housing of
the battery pack breaks open or cracks, immediately discontinue its use and
do not recharge it.
5. Do not store or carry a spare battery pack in a pocket or toolbox or any other
place where it may come into contact with metal objects. The battery pack
may be short circuited causing damage to the battery pack, burns or a fire.
If storing or disposing the battery pack, cover the terminals with a heavy
insulation tape to ensure short circuit cannot occur. Batteries, when stored for
a long period of time, will discharge.
6. Do not store or use the tool and battery pack in locations where the
temperature may reach or exceed 40°C such as alongside sheds or metal
structures in the summer.
7. Allow the battery pack to cool down after charging. Do not place it in a hot
environment such as a metal shed or open trailer left in the sun.
8. Only charge the battery with the charger supplied.
9. Do not put the battery pack near fire or high temperature position.
10. Do not splash or immerse in water or other liquids. This may cause premature
cell failure.
11. When transporting individual batteries, make sure that the battery terminals
are protected and well insulated from materials that could contact them and
cause a short circuit.
12. The best storage place is one that is cool and dry away from direct sunlight
