Safety warnings for battery pack
1. Recharge the battery pack only with the charger
specified by the manufacturer. A charger that is
suitable for one type of battery pack may create a
risk of re when used with another battery pack.
2. Use the product only with specically designated
battery pack. Use of any other battery packs may
create a risk of injury and re.
3. 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 re.
4. Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected
from the battery pack; avoid contact. If contact
accidentally occurs, flush with water. If liquid
contacts eyes, additionally see medical help. Liquid
ejected from the battery may cause irritation or burns.
5. Do not use battery pack that is damaged or
modied. Damaged or modied batteries may exhibit
unpredictable behaviour resulting in re, explosion or
risk of injury.
6. Do not expose a battery pack or tool to fire or
excessive temperature. Continuous intense sunlight,
fire or other heat sources may cause an increased
danger of explosion.
7. 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

the battery pack outside the temperature range
specified in the instructions. Charging improperly
or at temperatures outside the specified range may
damage the battery and increase the risk of re.
9. Do not charge battery in a damp or wet location.
Following this rule will reduce the risk of electric shock.
10. Longer life and better performance can be
obtained if the battery is charged when the air
temperature is between 18°C and 24°C. Do not
charge the battery in air temperature below 5°C or
above 40°C. This is important as it can prevent serious
damage to the battery.
11. Remove the battery pack from the product when
not in use.
12. Don’t maintain the battery pack on the charger
when not in use.
13. After extended periods of storage, it may be
necessary to charge and discharge the battery pack
several times to obtain the maximum performance.
14. Do not disassemble the battery and avoid
mechanical damage to the battery. Risk of short
circuit and fumes may be emitted. Ensure fresh air
and seek medical assistance in the event of discomfort.
