11. Do not modify or attempt to repair the power
tool or the battery pack except as indicated
in the instructions for use and care.
12. The battery Charger gets hot during use.
The Charger’s heat can build up to unsafe
levels and create a fire hazard if it does
not receive adequate ventilation, due to
an electrical fault, or if it is used in a hot environment.
Do not place the Charger on a flammable surface.
Do not obstruct any vents on the Charger.
Especially avoid placing the Charger on carpets
and rugs; they are not only flammable, but they
also obstruct vents under the Charger. Place the
Charger on a stable, solid, nonflammable surface
(such as a stable metal workbench or concrete floor)
at least 1 foot away from all flammable objects, such
as drapes or walls. Keep a fire extinguisher and a
smoke detector in the area. Frequently monitor the
Charger and Battery Pack while charging.
