condition. Be aware of possible hazards when not us-
ing your battery tool or when changing accessories.

fire, or serious personal injury.

or heat. This will reduce the risk of explosion and possibly
injury.

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
