brush. Do not use water or any cleaning solutions. Never let any
liquid get inside the tool; never immerse any part of the tool into
a liquid.
Fuel Gauge Battery Packs
Some STANLEY FATMAX battery packs include a fuel gauge
which consists of three green LED lights that indicate the level
of charge remaining in the battery pack.
To actuate the fuel gauge, press and hold the fuel gauge button.
A combination of the three green LED lights will illuminate
designating the level of charge left. When the level of charge
in the battery is below the usable limit, the fuel gauge will not
illuminate and the battery will need to be recharged.
nOTE: The fuel gauge is only an indication of the charge left on
the battery pack. It does not indicate tool functionality and is
subject to variation based on product components, temperature
and end‑user application.
Battery Packs
Important Safety Instructions for All Battery Packs
When ordering replacement battery packs, be sure to include
catalogue number and voltage.
The battery pack is not fully charged out of the carton. Before
using the battery pack and charger, read the safety instructions
below. Then follow charging procedures outlined.
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS
• Do not charge or use battery in explosive atmospheres,
such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases or dust.
Inserting or removing the battery from the charger may ignite the
dust or fumes.
• Never force battery pack into charger. Do not modify
battery pack in any way to fit into a non‑compatible
charger as battery pack may rupture, causing serious
personal injury.
• Charge the battery packs only in STANLEY FATMAX chargers.
• 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 fall below 4 ˚C (39.2 ˚F) (such
as outside sheds or metal buildings in winter), or reach
or exceed 40 ˚C (104 ˚F) (such as outside sheds or metal
buildings in summer).
• 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.
WARNING: Burn hazard. Battery liquid may be flammable if
exposed to spark or flame.
WARNING: Never attempt to open the battery pack for any
reason. If battery pack case is cracked or damaged, do not insert
into charger. Do not crush, drop or damage 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 (i.e., pierced with a nail,
28
hit with a hammer, stepped on). Electric shock or electrocution
may result. Damaged battery packs should be returned to service
centre for recycling.
WARNING: Fire hazard. 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.
CAUTION: When not in use, place tool on its side on a
stable surface where it will not cause a tripping or falling
hazard. Some tools with large battery packs will stand upright on
the battery pack but may be easily knocked over.
Transportation
WARNING: Fire hazard. Transporting batteries can
possibly cause fire if the battery terminals inadvertently come
into contact with conductive materials. When transporting
batteries, make sure that the battery terminals are protected and
well-insulated from materials that could contact them and cause
a short circuit. NOTE: Lithium-ion batteries should not be put in
checked baggage.
STANLEY FATMAX batteries comply with all applicable shipping
regulations as prescribed by industry and legal standards, which
include UN Recommendations on the Transport of Dangerous
Goods; International Air Transport Association (IATA) Dangerous
Goods Regulations; International Maritime Dangerous Goods
(IMDG) Regulations; and the European Agreement Concerning
The International Carriage of Dangerous Goods by Road
(ADR). Lithium‑ion cells and batteries have been tested to
section 38.3 of the UN Recommendations on the Transport of
Dangerous Goods Manual of Tests and Criteria.
In most instances, shipping a STANLEY FATMAX battery pack
will be excepted from being classified as a fully regulated
Class 9 Hazardous Material. In general, only shipments containing
a lithium‑ion battery with an energy rating greater than 100 Watt
Hours (Wh) will require being shipped as fully regulated Class 9.
All lithium‑ion batteries have the Wh rating marked on the pack.
Furthermore, due to regulation complexities, STANLEY FATMAX
does not recommend air shipping lithium‑ion battery packs alone
regardless of Wh rating. Shipments of tools with batteries (combo
kits) can be air shipped as excepted if the Wh rating of the battery
pack is no greater than 100 Wh.
Regardless of whether a shipment is considered excepted
or fully regulated, it is the shipper's responsibility to consult
the latest regulations for packaging, labeling/marking and
documentation requirements.
The information provided in this section of the manual is
provided in good faith and believed to be accurate at the time
the document was created. However, no warranty, expressed or
implied, is given. It is the buyer's responsibility to ensure that its
activities comply with the applicable regulations.
Storage Recommendations
1. The best storage place is one that is cool and dry away from
direct sunlight and excessive heat or cold. For optimum battery
performance and life, store battery packs at room temperature
when not in use.
2. For long storage, it is recommended to store a fully
charged battery pack in a cool, dry place out of the charger for
optimal results.
nOTE: Battery packs should not be stored completely
depleted of charge. The battery pack will need to be recharged
before use.
