IN SMOKE, FIRE, AND/OR SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY.
WARNING:
DO NOT ALLOW CONDUCTIVE OR CORROSIVE FLUIDS TO GET INSIDE
THE BATTERY PACK. IF CONDUCTIVE OR CORROSIVE FLUIDS ARE SPILLED ON THE BATTERY,
REFER TO THE INSTRUCTIONS IN YOUR BATTERY OPERATOR'S MANUAL.
• Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the trigger is not engaged when (connecting the
battery pack,) picking up or carrying the sprayer. Carrying the sprayer with your finger on
the trigger invites accidents.
• Disconnect the battery from the sprayer before draining, cleaning, or storing the sprayer.
Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of accidental starting.
• Recharge only with the HOOVER charger. A charger that is suitable for one type of battery
pack may create a risk of injury and fire when used with another battery pack. See page 7
for charger compatibility.
• Use products only with specifically designated battery packs. Use of any other battery
packs may create a risk of injury and fire. See page 7 for battery compatibility.
• 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.
• Exercise care in handling batteries in order not to short the battery with conducting
materials such as rings, bracelets, and keys. The battery or conductor may overheat and
cause burns.
• 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 battery may cause irritation or burns.
• Under extreme usage or temperature conditions, battery leakage may occur. If liquid comes
in contact with your skin, wash immediately with soap and water. If liquid gets into your
eyes, flush them with clean water for at least 10 minutes, then seek immediate medical
attention. Following this rule will reduce the risk of serious personal injury.
• Do not use a battery pack or appliance that is damaged or modified. Damaged or modified

batteries may exhibit unpredictable behavior resulting in fire, explosion or risk of injury.
• Do not open or modify the battery pack. Released electrolyte is corrosive and may cause
damage to the eyes or skin. It may be toxic if swallowed.
• Do not expose a battery pack or appliance to fire or excessive temperatures. Exposure to fire
or temperature above 265°F/130°C may cause explosion.
• Do not dispose of the battery(ies) in a fire. The cell may explode. Check with local codes for
possible special disposal instructions.
• Do not crush, drop or damage battery pack. Do not use a battery pack or charger that has
been dropped or received a sharp blow. A damaged battery is subject to explosion. Properly
dispose of a dropped or damaged battery immediately.
• Batteries can explode in the presence of a source of ignition, such as a pilot light. To reduce
the risk of serious personal injury, never use any cordless product in the presence of open
flame. An exploded battery can propel debris and chemicals. If exposed, flush with water
immediately.
• Do not charge battery tool in a damp or wet location. Following this rule will reduce the risk
of electric shock.
• Follow all charging instructions and do not charge the battery pack or appliance outside of
the temperature range specified in the instructions. Charging improperly or at temperatures
outside of the specified range may damage the battery and increase the risk of fire.
• Have this product serviced by a qualified repair person using only identical replacement
parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.
