SPECIFIC SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
BATTERY SAFETY
■ Battery operated units do not have to be
plugged into an electrical outlet; therefore,
they are always in operating condition. Be
aware of possible hazards even when unit is
not operating.
■ Remove the battery pack from the
chainsaw before cleaning, servicing, storing,
transporting, removing material from the unit,
changing accessories such as the bar and
chain, or when not in use.
■ A battery pack must be recharged only with
the specified charger for the battery pack. A
charger that may be suitable for one type of
battery pack may create a risk of fire when
used with another battery pack. Use battery
pack only with charger listed.
■ To reduce the risk of explosion and possible
injury. Do not place battery units or their
battery near fire of heat.
■ Do not open or mutilate the battery pack.
Released electrolyte is corrosive and may
cause damage to the eyes or skin. It may be
toxic if swallowed.
■ 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 flame. An exploded battery
pack can propel debris and chemicals. If
exposed, flush with water immediately.
■ Do not charge unit in a damp or wet
location. Following this rule will reduce the
risk of electric shock.
■ For best results, your battery unit should be
charged in a location where the temperature
is more than 35.6
not store outside or in vehicles.
■ Under extreme usage or temperature
conditions, battery pack 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 into your eyes, flush them with
clean water for at least 10 minutes, then seek
immediate medical attention.
■ Do not dispose of batteries in a fire.
The cell may explode. Batteries should be
recycled, consult your local waste authority
for information regarding available cycling
and/or disposal options.
■ When battery pack is not in use, keep it
away from other metal objects like: paper
clips, keys, nails, screws, or other small metal
objects that can make a connection from one
terminal to another. Shorting the battery pack
terminals together may cause sparks, burns,
or a fire.
