■ 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
product. Use of any other battery packs may result in a
risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons.
■ When the 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.
■ Do not open or mutilate the battery pack. Released
electrolyte is corrosive and may cause damage to the
eyes or skin. It may be toxic if swallowed.
■ Protect the battery pack against moisture and water.
Do not charge the product in a damp or wet location.
Following this rule will reduce the risk of electric shock.
■ In case of damage and improper use of the battery,
vapour may be emitted. Provide for fresh air and seek
medical help in case of complaints. The vapour can
irritate the respiratory system.
■ Do not leave the battery pack inside a vehicle in hot or
cold conditions.
■ Do not incinerate the battery.
■ 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.
