• Do not use with a damaged charger. If the appliance is not
working as it should, has been dropped, damaged, left outdoors
or dropped into water, return it to a service centre.
• Do not unplug by pulling on the cord. To unplug, grasp the charger,

BATTERY
WARNING
• Recharge only with the charger specified by the manufacturer
(charger model YLS0241A-U260060). A charger that is suitable
for one type of battery pack may create a risk of fire when used
with another battery pack.
• Use appliances only with a battery pack that has the regulatory
model number “ABL-E1”. Use of any other battery pack may
create a risk of injury or fire.
• 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 terminals together may cause burns
or a fire.
• Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from the battery;
avoid contact with this. If contact accidentally occurs, flush the
aected area with water. If liquid comes into contact with eyes,
additionally seek medical help. Liquid ejected from the battery
may cause irritation or burns.
• Do not use a battery pack or appliance that is damaged
or modified. Damaged or modified batteries may exhibit
unpredictable behaviour, resulting in fire, explosion or risk of
injury.
• Do not expose a battery pack or appliance to fire or excessive
temperatures. Exposure to fire or a temperature above 130°C
may cause an explosion.
• Follow all charging instructions, and do not charge the battery
pack or appliance outside of the temperature ranges specified
below. Do not use or store the system outside the temperature
ranges specified below.
Recommended ambient temperature range for charging the
system: 0°C to 40°C (32°F to 104°F)
Recommended ambient temperature range for operating
the system: 0°C to 40°C (32°F to 104°F)
Recommended ambient temperature range for storing the
system: -20°C to 40°C (-4°F to 104°F)
• Disconnect the battery pack from the appliance before making
any adjustments, changing accessories or storing the appliance.
Such preventative safety measures reduce the risk of starting the
appliance accidentally.
