directions carefully. Failure to follow battery care instructions can result in
battery explosion and property damage, severe injury, or death during
charging.
• When attaching charger leads to battery terminals be careful that tools do
not short between battery terminals. Shorting between battery terminals
may cause extreme arcing resulting in explosion or extreme heat that can
cause burns.

explosion. Always turn the charger off first (unplug from AC).
• Do not touch battery terminals or any exposed electrical parts. Contact
with battery terminals or other exposed electrical parts may cause an
electric shock. Remove all watches, rings, and jewelry to avoid arcing and
electric shock.
