EENNGGLLIIHH

After cleaning, put in the new battery. (Use gloves at all times to ensure that the battery acid
does not come into contact with your skin).
• Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the off-position before connecting to
battery pack, picking up or carrying the appliance. Carrying the appliance with your finger
on the switch or energizing appliance that have the switch on invites accidents.
• Disconnect the battery pack from the appliance before making any adjustments, changing
accessories, or storing appliance. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting
the appliance accidentally.
• Recharge only with the charger specified by the manufacturer. 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 specifically designated battery packs Model VC-R018-B. Use of any
other battery packs may create a risk of injury and fire.
• 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 termi-
nal to another. Shorting the battery terminals together may cause burns or a fire.
• If the battery is abused, battery acid (liquid) may begin to leak: avoid contact. If bodily con-
tact accidentally occurs, rinse the area of contact thoroughly with water. If the acid comes
into contact with your eyes, seek additional medical help. The battery acid 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 behavior (fire, combustion, etc.) that can result in injury.
• Do not expose a battery pack or appliance to fire or excessive temperature. Exposure to fire
or temperature above 266°F (130°) 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.
• Have servicing performed by a qualified repair person using only identical replacement parts.
This will ensure that the safety of the product is maintained.
• Do not modify or attempt to repair the appliance or the battery pack except as indicated in
the instructions for use and care.
