Operation—Battery Pack
Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected
from battery; avoid contact. If contact acciden-
tally occurs, flush with water. If liquid contacts
eyes, additionally seek medical help immedi-
ately. Liquid ejected from the battery may cause
irritation or burns.
• Ensure the trigger is not pressed down before
inserting battery pack. Inserting battery pack
into power tools that have the trigger pressed
down invites accidents.
• When storing the battery or when battery pack
is not in use, keep it away from other metal
objects such as paper clips, coins, keys, nails,
screws, or other small metal objects that
can make a connection from one terminal to
another, causing the battery to short. Shorting
the battery terminals together may cause a large
current overflow resulting in overheating, burns,
or a fire. Refer to the "Maintenance" section for
cleaning procedures.
Other types of batteries may burst, causing personal
injury and damage.
• Do not attempt to charge the battery pack with
any other charger. Otherwise, the battery may
leak, overheat, or explode.
• Do not drive nails into the battery pack, subject it
to shocks, disassemble the battery pack housing,
or attempt to modify it.
• The charger is designed to operate on standard
household electrical power only. Do not attempt to
use it on any other voltage!
• Use of an attachment not recommended may
result in a risk of fire, electric shock, or personal
injury.
• 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 power tools only with specifically desig-
nated battery packs. Use of any other battery
packs may create a risk of injury and fire.
