READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS THOROUGHLY
BATTERY PACK SAFETY WARNINGS
WARNING Before using battery pack, read all
instructions and cautionary markings on
battery pack, battery charger, and tools using battery. Failure to
follow the warnings and instructions may result in electric shock, re
and/or serious injury.
Recharge only with the charger specied 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.
Use power tools only with specically designated battery
packs. Use of any other battery packs may create a risk of injury
and re.
Know your power tool. Read the operator’s manual carefully.
Learn the tool’s applications and limitations, as well as the
specic potential hazards related to this tool. Following this rule
will reduce the risk of electric shock, re, or serious injury.
Battery tools do not have to be plugged into an electrical
outlet; they are always in operating condition. Be aware of
possible hazards when not using your battery tool or when
changing accessories. Following this rule will reduce the risk of
electric shock, re or serious personal injury.
Keep battery out of reach of children and in original package
until ready to use.
When battery pack is not in use, keep it away from other metal
objects like paperclips, 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.
Do not place battery tools or their batteries near re or heat.
This will reduce the risk of explosion and possible injury.
Do not store outside or in vehicles.

Do not store battery pack in charger. Battery pack stored in char-
ger over a long period of time could lead to battery pack damage
and re.
Do not open the battery. There is a risk of a short circuit.
Do not crush, drop or damage the 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.
Do not use a battery pack or tool that is damaged or modied.
Damaged or modied batteries may exhibit unpredictable behavior
resulting in re, explosion or risk of injury.
Do not insert battery pack in charger if battery pack case is
cracked. Using damaged battery pack may result in electric shock
or re.
Do not touch the uninsulated portion of output connector or
uninsulated battery terminal. There is a risk of electric shock.
Batteries vent hydrogen gas and 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 the battery in a damp or wet location. Following
this rule will reduce the risk of electric shock.
Follow all charging instructions and do not charge the battery
pack or tool outside the temperature range specied in the
instructions. Charging improperly or at temperatures outside the
specied range may damage the battery and increase the risk of
re.
For best results, your battery should be charged in a location
where the temperature is greater than 41°F (5°C) and less than
104°F (40°C).

5
Do not expose a battery pack or power tool to re or excessive
temperature. Exposure to re or temperature above 265℉
(130°C) may cause explosion.
Under extreme usage or temperature conditions, battery
leakage may occur. If liquid comes in contact with your skin,
wash immediately with soap and water, then neutralize with
lemon juice or vinegar. If liquid gets in your 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.
Do not let gasoline, oils, petroleum-based products, etc., come
in contact with plastic parts. These substances contain chemicals
that can damage, weaken or destroy plastic.
Replace battery pack if a substantial drop in operating time per
charge is observed. Battery pack may be nearing the end of its
life.
Have your power tool serviced by a qualied repair person
using only identical replacement parts. This will ensure that the
safety of the power tool is maintained.
Never service damaged battery packs. Service of battery packs
should only be performed by the manufacturer or authorized service
providers.
Save these instructions. Refer to them frequently and use them
to instruct others who may use this battery pack. If you lend
someone this battery pack, lend them these instructions also to
prevent misuse of the product and possible injury.
