5. SAFETY BATTERY AND CHARGE
INFORMATION
You must read and understand these safety
instructions and warnings before using or
charging your Lithium-Polymer batteries.
Operating environment
Remember to follow any special current
regulations in any area, and always switch off
your device when its use is prohibited or when it
may cause interference or danger.
Use the device only in its normal operating
positions.
Your device and its enhancements may contain
small parts. Keep them out of the reach of small
children.
About Charging
Only use the charger supplied with your device.
Using another type of charger will result in
malfunction and/or danger.
When the red LED turns off, the charge is
complete.
About the Charger
Do not use the charger in a high moisture
environment. Never touch the charger when your
hands or feet are wet.
Allow ventilation around the charger when using
it. Do not cover the charger with paper or other
objects that will reduce cooling. Do not use the
charger while it is inside a carrying case.
Connect the charger to a proper power source.
The voltage requirements are found on the
product case and/or packaging.
Do not use the charger if the wires become
damaged. Do not attempt to service the unit.
There are no serviceable parts inside. Replace the
unit if it is damaged or exposed to excess
moisture.
This charger is not a toy and should not be used
by children or infirm persons without proper
training or supervision.
Do not use it as a power source.

or clean it.
About the Battery
CAUTION: This unit contains an internal Lithium-
Polymer battery. The battery can burst or
explode, releasing hazardous chemicals. To
reduce the risk of fire or burns, do not
disassemble, crush, pierce or dispose of the
battery or the tool in fire or water, do not short
circuit or short the contacts with a metal object.
Use a specified charger approved by the
Hamaton manufacturer and supplied with the
device.
The tool must be returned to the factory for
battery replacement.
Opening the tool or tampering with the seal
placed on the tool, if broken, will void the
warranty.
Safety For Lithium-Polymer Battery
Use
NEVER leave the battery unattended during the
charging process. The device must imperatively
be placed on a non-flammable surface during
charging (ceramic platter or metal box).
Charge the Lithium-Polymer battery ONLY with
the charger provided.
NEVER use a Ni-MH (Nickel Metal Hydride) type
battery charger to charge a Lithium-Polymer
battery.
If the battery begins to overheat more than 60°C
(140°F), STOP CHARGING IMMEDIATELY. The
battery should NEVER exceed 60°C (140°F) during
the charging process.
NEVER charge the battery immediately after use
and while still hot. Leave it to cool down to
ambient temperature.
If you see any smoke or liquid coming from the
battery, stop the charge immediately. Disconnect
the charger and place the tool in an isolated area
for at least 15 minutes. DO NOT USE THE
BATTERY AGAIN. Return the device to your
retailer.
Keep a fire extinguisher for electrical fires handy
while charging the battery. In the unlikely event
that the Lithium-Polymer battery catches fire, DO
NOT use water to extinguish the fire. Take some
sand or use a fire extinguisher as described
above.
