WARNINg:
or carry battery so that metal objects can
contact exposed battery terminals. For
example, do not place battery in aprons,
pockets, tool boxes, product kit boxes,
drawers, etc., with loose nails, screws,
keys, etc. Transporting batteries can
possibly cause fires if the battery terminals
inadvertently come in contact with
conductive materials such as keys, coins,
hand tools and the like. The US
Department of Transportation Hazardous
Material Regulations (HMR) actually
prohibit transporting batteries in commerce
or on airplanes (i.e., packed in suitcases
and carry-on luggage) UNLESS they are
properly protected from short circuits. So
when transporting individual batteries,
make sure that the battery terminals are
protected and well insulated from materials
that could contact them and cause a short
circuit. NOTE: Lithium-Ion batteries should
not be put in checked baggage.
Storage recommendationS
1. The best storage place is one that is
cool and dry away from direct sunlight and
excess heat or cold.
2. Long storage will not harm the battery
pack or charger.
IMPORTANT ChARgINg NOTeS
1. Longest life and best performance can
be obtained if the battery pack is charged
when the air temperature is between 65°F
and 75°F (18°- 24°C). DO NOT charge the
battery pack in an air temperature below
+40°F (+4.5°C), or above +105°F (+40.5°C).
This is important and will prevent serious
damage to the battery pack.
2. The charger and battery pack may become
warm to touch while charging. This is a normal
condition, and does not indicate a problem. To
facilitate the cooling of the battery pack after
use, avoid placing the charger or battery pack
in a warm environment such as in a metal
shed, or an uninsulated trailer.
3. If the battery pack does not charge properly:
a. Check current at receptacle by
plugging in a lamp or other appliance.
b. Check to see if receptacle is
connected to a light switch which turns
power off when you turn out the lights.
c. Move charger and battery pack to a
location where the surrounding air
temperature is approximately 65°F -
75°F (18°- 24°C).
d. If charging problems persist, take
the tool, battery pack and charger to
your local service center.
4. The battery pack should be recharged
when it fails to produce sufficient power on
jobs which were easily done previously.
DO NOT CONTINUe to use under these
conditions. Follow the charging procedure.
You may also charge a partially used pack
whenever you desire with no adverse
affect on the battery pack.
5. Foreign materials of a conductive nature
fire hazard. Do not store
such as, but not limited to, steel wool,
aluminum foil, or any buildup of metallic
particles should be kept away from charger
cavities. Always unplug the charger from
the power supply when there is no battery
pack in the cavity. Unplug charger before
attempting to clean.
6. Do not freeze or immerse charger in
water or any other liquid.
WARNINg:
allow any liquid to get inside charger.Never
attempt to open the battery pack for any
reason. If the plastic housing of the
battery pack breaks or cracks, return to
a service center for recycling.
