nals with conductive objects. Shorting
of terminals may cause sparks, burns or
electrical shock.
• Do not expose charger or battery to
damp or wet conditions, such as rain.
Make sure hands are dry when han-
dling. Moisture increases the risk of elec-
trical shock.
• Follow all charging instructions and do
not charge or store the battery pack out-
side the temperature range specified
in the instructions. Charging or storing
improperly or at temperatures outside the
specified range may damage the battery
and increase the risk of battery leakage,
electrical shock or fire.
• This appliance can be used by children
8 years and above and persons with
reduced physical, sensory or metal ca-
pabilities or lack of experience and
knowledge if they have been given su-
pervision orinstruction concerning use
of the appliance in a safe way and un-
derstand the hazards involved.
• Childrenshould besupervisedtoensure
that they do not play with the appliance.
Cleaning and maintenance shall not be
done by children without supervision.
Battery Safety
• Avoid contact with battery fluids. Flu-
ids may cause burns or skin irritation. For
skin contact, wash with soap and water.
For eye contact, immediately flush eyes
thoroughly with water and continue flush-
ing for at least 15 minutes without rubbing.
Seek medical attention. See battery SDS
for additional information.
• Use batteries only with equipment spe-
ci-fically designating their use. Using
equipment and batteries that are not rated
for use together can cause fire or other per-
sonal 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 burns or a fire.
• Do not burn battery or expose to high
temperatures. High temperatures can
cause the battery to explode.
tery polarity must match charger output
polarity to reduce risk.
• Use of an attachment not recommend-
ed or sold by the battery charger manu-
facturer may result in a risk of fire, elec-
tric shock, or injury to persons.
• To reduce risk of damage to cord, pull
by connector rather than cord when
disconnecting charger.
• Make sure cord is located so that it will
not be stepped on, tripped over, or oth-
erwise subjected to damage or stress.
• Do not operate charger with damaged
cord – replace it immediately.
• To reduce risk of electric shock, un-
plug charger before attempting any
maintenance or cleaning.
• Use an appropriate power source. An
improper power source may cause dam-
age to charger resulting in electrical shock,
fire or burns.
• Do not allow anything to cover the
charg-er while in use. Proper ventilation
is required for correct operation of charger.
Cover-ing vents may result in fire. Allow
a minimum of 3" (76 mm) of clearance
around the charger for proper ventilation.
• Unplug the charger when not in use.
Reduces risk of injury to children and un-
trained persons.
• Do not carry charger by power cord.
Do not pull cord to unplug. Reduces risk
of electrical shock.
Charger and Battery Safety
• Use appropriate Charger and Battery
combinations. See Specifications. Using
chargers and batteries that are not rated
for use together can cause the battery to
burst, fire or other personal injury.
• Do not use charger or battery if either
has been dropped, modified or dam-
aged in any way. Modified or damaged
charger or battery increases the risk of
electrical shock.
• Do not open or disassemble the char-
ger or battery. There are no user service-
able parts. Have repairs performed only
at authorized locations. Opening or dis-
assembling the charger or batteries may
cause electrical shock or personal injury.
• Do not probe charger or battery termi-
