Use the charger only in a standard electrical outlet (120V/60Hz).
Unplug the charger from the outlet before any routine cleaning or maintenance.
Do not look into the air vents when the unit is switched on, as sometimes there is a possibility
of small debris being discharged from the air vents, especially after cleaning /replacement of the
filters as debris inside the unit can be disturbed.
Leaks from battery cells can occur under extreme conditions. If the liquid, which is a 20-35%
solution of potassium hydroxide, gets on the skin (1) wash quickly with soap and water or (2)
neutralize with a mild acid such as lemon juice or vinegar. If the liquid gets into the eyes, flush
them immediately with clean water for a minimum of 10 minutes. Seek medical attention.
Do not charge or use the battery pack in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of
flammable liquids, gases, or dust. Inserting or removing the battery pack from the charger may
ignite the dust or fumes.
NEVER force the battery pack into the charger.
DO NOT modify the battery pack in any way to fit into a non-compatible charger as the battery
pack may rupture causing serious personal injury.
DO NOT splash or immerse in water or other liquids.
Do not store or use the tool and battery pack in locations where the temperature may reach or
exceed 104 °F (40 C) (such as outside sheds or metal buildings in summer). For best life store
battery packs in a cool, dry location.
Do not incinerate the battery pack even if it is severely damaged or is completely worn out. The
battery pack can explode in a fire. Toxic fumes and materials are created when lithium-ion battery
packs are burned.
If battery contents come into contact with the skin, immediately wash area with mild soap and
water.
If battery liquid gets into the eye, rinse water over the open eye for 15 minutes or until irritation
ceases.
If medical attention is needed, the battery electrolyte is composed of a mixture of liquid organic
carbonates and lithium salts.
Contents of opened battery cells may cause respiratory irritation. Provide fresh air. If symptoms
persist, seek medical attention.
Never attempt to open the battery pack for any reason.
If the battery pack case is cracked or damaged, do not insert into the charger.
Do not crush, drop or damage the battery pack.
Do not use a battery pack or charger that has received a sharp blow, been dropped, run over or
damaged in any way (e.g., pierced with a nail, hit with a hammer, stepped on).
Damaged battery packs should be returned to the service center for recycling.
Do not store or carry the battery pack so that metal objects can contact exposed battery
terminals. For example, do not place the battery pack in aprons, pockets, tool boxes, product kit
boxes, drawers, etc., with loose nails, screws, keys, etc.
