BATTERY
TOOL
USE AND CARE
•

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
designated
bat-
tery packs.
Use of any other battery packs may create a
risk of injury and fire.
•
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.
•
Under abusive
conditions,
liquid may be ejected
from the battery;
avoid
contact.
If contact
acciden-
tally occurs,
flush with water.
If liquid contacts
eyes,
