WARNING : RISK OF FIRE, PROPERTY DAMAGE, AND INJURY. NEV-ER EXPOSES YOUR BATTERY PACK OR CHARGER TO WATER, MOISTURE, OR FLUIDS, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO CORROSIVE OR CONDUCTIVE FLUIDS, OR ALLOWS FLUIDS TO FLOW INSIDE THESE ITEMS.
Corrosive or conductive fluids, such as salt water, chlorine, certain industrial chemicals, and bleach or bleach-containing products, etc., can cause a short circuit in the battery pack. If your battery pack is exposed to a corrosive or conductive fluid, do not attempt to use or charge the battery pack and immediately perform the following steps:

• Wear appropriate personal protective equipment, including eye protection and rubber gloves.

• Place your exposed battery pack in a large bucket, such as a 5-gallon or similar bucket, and fill the bucket with regular tap water. Do not place more than two packs in the bucket.

• Locate the bucket outdoors in an area inaccessible to children and pets and away from all buildings, garages/sheds, structures, vehicles, and combustible/flammable materials.

• Leave the battery pack(s) in the bucket filled with tap water and call Customer Service at 1-800-
  525- 2579 for additional instructions on the proper disposal of the exposed battery pack(s).

• Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the off-position before connecting to a power source and/or battery pack, picking up or carrying the product. Carrying battery products with your finger on the switch or energizing battery products that have the switch on invites accidents.

• 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 a spot cleaner only with specifically designated battery packs. Use of any other battery packs may create a risk of injury and fire.

• When the 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 sparks, 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 product that is damaged or modified. Damaged or modified batteries may exhibit unpredictable behavior resulting in fire, explosion or risk of injury.

• Follow all charging instructions and do not charge the battery pack or product 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.

• To reduce the risk of serious personal injury, never use or expose a battery pack or any cordless product in the presence of an open flame or temperature above 265°F. An exploded battery can ropel debris and chemicals. If exposed, flush with water immediately.

• Do not charge the battery in a damp or wet location. Do not use, store, or charge battery packs or products in locations where the temperature is less than 50°F or more than 100°F. Do not store outside or in vehicles.

• During charging, the pack and ambient temperature should be between 41° to 86°F (5° and 30°C).
