objects and protect against dirt and humidity. Store 
in a dry and frost-free place.
15.  When charging batteries, ensure that the battery 
charger is in a well-ventilated area and away from 
inflammable materials. Batteries can get hot during 
charging. Do not overcharge any batteries. Ensure 
that batteries and chargers are not left unsupervised 
during charging. 
16.  Do not recharge non-rechargeable batteries, as they 
can overheat and break.
17.  Longer life and better performance can be 
obtained if the battery pack is charged when the 
air temperature is between 18
o
C and 24
o
C. Do not 
charge the battery pack in air temperatures below 
4.5
o
C, or above 40.5
o
C. This is important as it can 
prevent serious damage to the battery pack.
SAFETY WARNINGS FOR BATTERY CELLS INSIDE 
THE TOOL 
a)  Do not dismantle, open or shred cells. 
b)  Do not short-circuit charging terminal. Do 
not store power tool haphazardly in a box or 
drawer where charging terminal may short-
circuit each other or be short-circuited by 
conductive materials. When power tool is not 
in use, keep it away from other metal objects, like 
paper clips, coins, keys, nails, screws or other small 
metal objects, that can make a connection from one 
charging terminal to another.
c)  Do not expose power tool to heat or fire. 
Avoid storage in direct sunlight.
d)  Do not subject power tool to mechanical shock.
e)  In the event of battery leaking, do not allow 
the liquid to come into contact with the skin 
or eyes. If contact has been made, wash the 
affected area with copious amounts of water 
and seek medical advice.
f)  Seek medical advice immediately if a cell has 
been swallowed.
g)  Keep power tool clean and dry.
h)  Wipe the charging terminals with a clean dry 
cloth if they become dirty.
i)  Power tool needs to be charged before use. 
Always refer to this instruction and use the 
correct charging procedure.
j)  Do not maintain power tool on charge when 
not in use.
k)  After extended periods of storage, it may 
be necessary to charge and discharge the 
power tool several times to obtain maximum 
performance.
l)  Battery gives its best performance when it is 
operated at normal room temperature (20°C ± 
5°C).
m)  When disposing of cells, keep cells of 
different electrochemical systems separate 
from each other.
n)  Recharge only with the charger specified by 
WORX. Do not use any charger other than 
that specifically provided for use with the 
equipment. A charger that is suitable for one type 
of battery may create a risk of fire when used with 
another battery.
o)  Keep power tool out of the reach of children.
p)  Retain the original product literature for future 
reference.
q)  Dispose of properly.
