BATTERY SAFETY RULES
• Battery tools do not have to be plugged into an electrical outlet; therefore, they are
always in operating condition. Be aware of possible hazards when not using your
battery tool or when changing accessories. Following this rule will reduce the risk of
electric shock, fire, or serious personal injury.
• Do not place battery tools or their batteries near fire or heat. This will reduce the
risk of explosion and injury.
• 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.
• For best results, your battery tool should be charged in a location where the
temperature is more than 45°F but less than 104°F. To reduce the risk of serious
personal injury, do not store outside or in vehicles.
• 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.
• 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 sparks, burns, or a fire.
• Always remove battery pack from your tool when you are assembling parts,
making adjustments, cleaning, or when not in use. Removing battery pack will
prevent accidental starting that could cause serious personal injury.
• Always remove battery pack before storing the device. When battery becomes fully
charged, unplug the charger from the power supply and remove the battery pack
from the charger.
• Always wear eye protection with side shields marked to comply with ANSI Z87.1,
along with hearing protection. Failure to do so could result in objects being thrown
into your eyes and other possible serious injuries.
