EXTRA SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
CONCERNING BATTERY
To ensure the longest battery life and best battery performance, always charge the battery
when the temperature is between 18-24° C. Do not charge the battery pack when the
temperature is below 0° C, or above 40° C. This is important. Failure to observe this safety rule
could cause serious damage to the battery pack.
Do not incinerate the battery pack even if it is seriously damaged or can no longer hold a
charge. The battery pack can explode in a fire.
A small leakage of liquid from the battery pack may occur under extreme usage or temperature.
This does not necessarily indicate a failure of the battery pack. However, if the outer seal is
broken and this leakage comes into contact with your skin:
-Wash the affected area quickly with soap and water.
-Neutralise the liquid with a mild acid such as lemon juice or vinegar.
If the leakage gets in your eyes:
-Flush your eyes with clean water for a minimum of 10 minutes and seek immediate medical
attention.
Never attempt to open the battery pack for any reason. If the plastic housing of the battery
pack breaks open or cracks, immediately discontinue its use and do not recharge it.
Do not store or carry a spare battery pack in a pocket or toolbox or any other place where it
may come into contact with metal objects. The battery pack may be short circuited causing
damage to the battery pack, burns or a fire. If storing or disposing the battery pack, cover the
terminals with a heavy insulation tape to ensure short circuit cannot occur. Batteries, when
stored for a long period of time, will discharge.
Do not store or use the tool and battery pack in locations where the temperature may reach or
exceed 40° C such as alongside sheds or metal structures in the summer.
Allow the battery pack to cool down after charging. Do not place it in a hot environment such
as a metal shed or open trailer left in the sun.
Only charge the battery with the charger supplied.
Do not place the battery near a fire or in a place where the temperature is high.
Do not immerse the tool in water or any other liquid. This can damage the battery prematurely.
When transporting batteries, make sure their contacts are protected and properly insulated
materials that may come into contact with them and cause a short circuit.
Store them in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and excessively cold or hot
temperatures.
After prolonged period of disuse of the battery, recharge it before using it.
The battery must be disposed of in a secure manner.
