using only identical replacement parts. This will ensure
that the safety of the product is maintained.
• Do not incinerate the battery pack even if it is severely
damaged or is completely worn out. The battery pack can
explode in a fire. Toxic fumes and materials are created when
lithium‑ion battery packs are burned.
• Do not expose a battery pack or appliance to fire or
excessive temperature. Exposure to fire or temperature
above 265 °F (130 °C) may cause explosion.
• 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.
• If battery contents come into contact with the skin,
immediately wash area with mild soap and water. If
battery liquid gets into the eye, rinse water over the open eye
for 15 minutes or until irritation ceases. If medical attention
is needed, the battery electrolyte is composed of a mixture of
liquid organic carbonates and lithium salts.
• Contents of opened battery cells may cause
respiratory irritation. Provide fresh air. If symptoms persist,
seek medical attention.

• Do not use a battery pack or tool that is damaged
or modified. Damaged or modified batteries may exhibit
unpredictable behavior resulting in fire, explosion or risk
of injury.
• Do not modify or attempt to repair the battery pack
except as indicated in the instructions for use and care.
• Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from
the battery; avoid contact. If contact occurs, flush with
water. If liquid contacts eyes, additionally seek medical help.
Liquid ejected from the battery may cause irritations or burns.
• 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
