Battery Safety Precautions:
• Do not place vacuum or batteries near re or heat. This
will reduce the risk of explosion and possible 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 ame. An exploded battery
can propel debris and chemicals. If exposed, ush with
water immediately.
• Do not charge vacuum in a damp or wet location.
Following this rule will reduce the risk of electric shock.
• For best results, charge the battery tool in a location
where the temperature is more than 10°C but less than
37°C. 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 the skin,
wash immediately with soap and water, then neutralize
with lemon juice or vinegar. If liquid gets into the eyes,
ush 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.
• Store the battery pack where the temperature is
below 27°C.
• The battery must be removed from the appliance
before it is scrapped by a qualied person.
• The appliance must be disconnected from the supply
mains when removing the battery.
• The battery is to be disposed of safely.
