SAFETY WARNINGS

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING : When using electric tools, basic safety precautions should always be followed to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, and personal injury, including the following:

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS.

Do not look into the light, or do not expose the light to eyes. Eyes may be damaged.
Do not cover or clog the lit tool with cloth or carton, etc. Covering or clogging it may cause a flame.
The tool is not waterproof. Do not use it in damp or wet locations. Do not expose it to rain or snow. Do not wash it in water.
Do not touch the inside of the flashlight head with tweezers, metal tools, etc.
Do not give the tool a shock by dropping, striking, etc.
When the tool is not in use, always switch off and remove the battery cartridge from the tool.
Battery tool use and care
Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the off-position before connecting to battery pack, picking up or carrying the machine. Carrying the appliance with your finger on the switch or energizing appliance that have the switch on invites accidents.
Disconnect the battery pack from the appliance before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing machine. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the appliance accidentally.
Recharge only with the charger specified by the manufacturer. A charger that is suitable for one type of battery pack may create a risk of fire when used with another battery pack.
Use appliance only with specifically designated battery packs. Use of any other battery packs may create a risk of injury and fire.
When battery pack 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 terminal to another. Shorting the battery terminals together may cause burns or a fire.
Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from the battery; avoid contact.If contact accidentally occurs, flush with water. If liquid contacts eyes, seek medical help. Liquid ejected from the battery may cause irritation or burns.
Do not use a battery pack or appliance that is damaged or modified. Damaged or modified batteries may exhibit unpredictable behaviour resulting in fire, explosion or risk of injury.
Do not expose a battery pack or appliance to fire or excessive temperature. Exposure to fire or temperature above 130°C (265°F) may cause explosion.
Follow all charging instructions and do not charge the battery pack or appliance outside of the temperature range specified in the instructions. Charging improperly or at temperatures outside of the specified range may damage the battery and increase the risk of fire.
Have servicing performed by a qualified repair person using only identical replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the product is maintained.
Do not modify or attempt to repair the appliance or the battery pack except as indicated in the instructions for use and care.
Do not dispose of the battery(ies) in a fire. The cell may explode. Check with local codes for possible special disposal instructions.
Do not open or mutilate the battery(ies). Released electrolyte is corrosive and may cause damage to the eyes or skin. It may be toxic if swallowed.
Do not charge battery in rain, or in wet locations.
Do not handle charger, including charger plug, and charger terminals with wet hands.
Do not charge the battery outdoors.
