• Use of an attachment not recommended or
sold by the battery charger manufacturer
may result in re, electric shock, or
personal injury.
• Do not operate the tool with a damaged
cord or connector. Replace damaged
cords and connectors immediately.
• Do not operate the charger if it has
received a sharp blow, been dropped, or
otherwise damaged in any way. Take the
charger to a qualied service person.
• Do not disassemble the charger. Take
the charger to a qualied service person
if service or repair is necessary. Incorrect
reassembly may result in electric shock
or re. Unplug charger before attempting
any maintenance or cleaning. Turning o󰀨
controls will not reduce this risk.
• To prevent possible hearing damage, avoid
using the tool at high volume levels for
long periods.
• Do not expose tool or charger to rain,
moisture, or snow.
• Verify that cords are located where they
will not be stepped on, tripped over, or
otherwise become a safety hazard or
subjected to damage or stress.
• Use only batteries that are approved for
use with this tool. Use of other types may
increase the risk of re or explosion.
• Do not carry a battery in your pocket,
purse, or other container where metal
objects (such as car keys or paper clips)
could short-circuit the battery terminals.
The resulting excessive current ow can
cause extremely high temperatures and
may result in damage to the battery pack
or cause re or burns.
• The battery poses a burn hazard if you
handle it improperly. Do not disassemble it.
Handle a damaged or leaking battery with
extreme care. If the battery is damaged,
electrolyte may leak from the cells and
may cause personal injury.

near a heat source such as a radiator,
replace, stove, electric heater, or other
heat-generating appliance or otherwise
expose it to temperatures in excess of
140 ºF (60ºC). When heated to excessive
temperatures, battery cells could explode
or vent, posing a risk of re.
• Do not dispose of your tool’s battery in
a re or with normal household waste.
Battery cells may explode. Discard a used
battery according to the manufacturer’s
instructions or contact your local waste
disposal agency for disposal instructions.
