4. To reduce the risk of damaging the electric plug and
cord, pull the plug, not the cord, when disconnecting the
charger from the electric outlet.
5. Make sure the battery charging cable is located in a safe
place so that it will not be stepped on, tripped over or
otherwise subjected to damage or stress.
6. An extension cord should not be used unless absolutely
necessary. Using an improper extension cord poses a risk
of fire, electric shock or electrocution.

10. Never attempt to connect two (2) chargers together.
11. DO NOT store or use the tool in locations where the
temperature may reach or exceed 104 ºF (40 ºC).
Dangerous storing locations include outdoor sheds or
metal buildings in the summer.
12. The charger is designed to operate on standard household
electrical power (100-240 V). Do not attempt to use it with
any other voltage!
NOTE: The integrated battery is not fully charged out of
the carton. Read the safety instructions and then follow
the charging notes and procedures.
13. The longest life and best performance can be obtained if
the integrated battery is charged when the air temperature
is between 64.4ºF – 75.2ºF (18ºC – 24ºC). Do not charge
the battery pack when the air temperature falls below
32ºF (0ºC) or above 104ºF (40ºC). Following these safety
measures will prevent damage to the battery pack.
14. Do not incinerate the integrated battery even if it is
seriously damaged or completely worn out. The battery
can explode in a fire.
15. Battery chemicals cause serious burns – Never let a
damaged battery pack contact the skin, eyes or mouth.
Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from the
battery; avoid contact. Liquid ejected from the battery
may cause irritation or burns. If a damaged battery pack
leaks battery chemicals, use rubber or neoprene gloves
to safely dispose of it. If skin is exposed to battery fluids,
wash the affected area with soap and water and rinse
with vinegar. If eyes are exposed to battery chemicals,

16. 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.
17. Do not use appliance that is damaged or modified.
Damaged or modified batteries may exhibit unpredictable
behavior resulting in fire, explosion or risk of injury.
Protection from environmental influences
1. Wear suitable work clothes. Wear safety goggles.
2. Protect your cordless tool and the battery charger from
moisture and rain. Moisture and rain can cause dangerous
cell damage.
3. Do not use the cordless tool or the battery charger near
vapors and flammable liquids.
4. Use the battery charger and cordless tools only in dry
conditions and at an ambient temperature of 32ºF – 104°F
+
(0°C – 40°C). Do not expose a battery pack or appliance
to fire or excessive temperature. Exposure to fire or
temperature above 265ºF (130°C) may cause explosion.
5. Do not keep the battery charger in places where the
temperature is liable to reach over 104ºF (40ºC). In
particular, do not leave the battery charger in a car that is
parked in the sunshine.
6. Protect batteries from overheating. Overloads,
overcharging and exposure to direct sunlight will result in
overheating and cell damage. Never charge or work with
batteries that have been overheated.
7. Store the charger and your cordless tool only in dry
locations with an ambient temperature of 32ºF – 104°F
(0°C – 40°C). Store your lithium-ion battery pack in a
cool, dry place at a temperature of 77°F (25°C). Protect
the battery pack, charger and cordless tool from humidity
and direct sunlight. Only place fully charged batteries in
storage (charged to at least 40%).
8. Prevent the lithium-ion battery pack from freezing.
Battery packs that were stored below 32°F (0°C) for more
than 60 minutes must be discarded.
9. When handling batteries, be wary of electrostatic charge.
Electrostatic discharges can damage the electronic
protection system and the battery cells. Avoid electrostatic
charging and never touch the battery poles.
10. Follow all charging instructions and do not charge the
battery pack or appliance outside of the temperature
range specified in the instructions. Charging improperly
or at temperatures outside of the specified range may
damage the battery and increase the risk of fire.
11. Do not modify or attempt to repair the appliance or the
battery pack except as indicated in the instructions for
use and care.
