your finger on the switch or energizing appliance that have the
switch on invites accidents.
b) Disconnect the battery pack from the appliance before
making any adjustments, changing accessories, or
storing appliance. Such preventive safety measures reduce
the risk of starting the appliance accidentally.

manufacturer. A charger that is suitable for one type of battery
pack may create a risk of fire when used with another battery
pack.

packs. Use of any other battery packs may create a risk of injury
and fire.
e) When battery pack is not in use, keep it away from other
metal objects, like paper clips, 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 fire.
f) Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from
the battery; avoid contact. If contact accidentally occurs,
flush with water. If liquid contacts eyes, additionally seek
medical help. Liquid ejected from the battery may cause
irritation or burns.
g) Do not use a battery pack or appliance that is damaged
or modified. Damaged or modified batteries may exhibit
unpredictable behavior resulting in fire, explosion or risk of injury.
h) Do not expose a battery pack or appliance to fire or
excessive temperature. Exposure to fire or temperature
above 265°F may cause explosion.
i) Have servicing performed by a qualified repair person
using only identical replacement parts. This will ensure that
the safety of the product is maintained.
