SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES

• Know your machine. Read the operator’s manual carefully. Learn the applications and limitations, as well as the specific potential hazards related to the machine. Following this rule will reduce the risk of electric shock, fire, or serious injury. 
• Battery machines do not have to be plugged into an electrical outlet; therefore, they are always in operating condition. Be aware of possible hazards when not using your battery machine. Always remove the battery before changing accessories. Following this rule will reduce the risk of electric shock, fire or serious personal injury. 
• Do not place the battery machines or battery near fire or heat. This will reduce the risk of explosion and possibly injury. 
• Do not dispose of the batteries in a fire. The cells may explode. Check with local codes for possible special disposal instructions. 
• Do not open or mutilate the battery. Released electrolyte is corrosive and may cause damage to the eyes or skin. It may be toxic if swallowed. 
• Do not crush, drop or damage the battery. Do not use a battery or charger that has been dropped or received a sharp blow. A damaged battery is subject to explosion. Properly dispose of a dropped or damaged battery immediately. 
• Batteries vent hydrogen gas and can explode in the presence of a source of ignition, such as a pilot light. To reduce the risk of serious personal injury, never use any cordless product in the presence of open flame. An exploded battery can propel debris and chemicals. If exposed, flush with water immediately.
• Do not charge the battery in a damp or wet location. Following this rule will reduce the risk of electric shock.
• For best results, your battery should be charged in a location where the temperature is greater than 5° C and less than 40° C. Do not store it outside or in vehicles.
• Under extreme usage or temperature conditions, battery leakage may occur. If liquid comes in contact with your skin, wash immediately with soap and water, then neutralize with lemon juice or vinegar. If liquid gets in your eyes, flush them with clean water for at least 10 minutes, and then seek immediate medical attention. Following this rule will reduce the risk of serious personal injury. 
• Do not let gasoline, oils, petroleum-based products, etc. come in contact with plastic parts. These substances contain chemicals that can damage, weaken or destroy plastic. 
• Have your battery serviced by a qualified repairperson using only identical replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the battery is maintained.
• Do not use a battery that is damaged or modified. Damaged or modified batteries may exhibit unpredictable behavior resulting in fire, explosion or risk of injury. 
• Do not expose a battery to fire or excessive temperature. Exposure to fire or temperature above 130°C may cause explosion. 
• Follow all charging instructions and do not charge the battery 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. 
• Do not modify or attempt to repair the battery except as indicated in the instructions for use and care.
