Only EU countries
Do not dispose of electric equipment or battery packs together with household waste material!
In observance of European Directive 2002/96/EC on waste electric and electronic equipment, 2006/66/EC on batteries and accumulators and waste batteries and accumulators and their implementation in accordance with national laws, electric equipment, and battery pack that have reached the end of their life must be collected separately and returned to an environmentally compatible recycling facility.

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 this instruction manual and the charger instruction manual carefully before use.
Clean only with a dry cloth.
Do not block any ventilation opening. Install in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.
Do not install near any heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other apparatus (including amplifiers) that produce heat.
Only use attachments/accessories specified by the manufacturer.
Unplug this apparatus during lightning storms or when unused for long periods of time.
Battery-operated radio with integral batteries or a separate battery pack must be recharged only with the specified charger for the battery. A charger that may be suitable for one type of battery may create a risk of fire when used with another battery.
Use battery-operated radio only with specifically designated battery packs. The use of any other batteries may create a risk of 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.
Avoid body contact with grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges, and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is
grounded.
Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from the battery; avoid contact. If contact accidentally occurs, flush with water. If liquid contacts the eyes, additionally seek medical help. Liquid ejected from the battery may cause irritation or burns.

SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
FOR BATTERY CARTRIDGE

Before using the battery cartridge read all instructions and cautionary markings on (1) battery charger, (2) battery, and (3) product using the battery.
Do not disassemble the battery cartridge.
If the operating time has become excessively shorter, stop operating immediately. It may result in a risk of overheating, possible burns, and even an explosion.
If electrolyte gets into your eyes, rinse them out with clear water and seek medical attention right away. It may result in loss of your eyesight.
Do not short the battery cartridge:
(1) Do not touch the terminals with any conductive material.
(2) Avoid storing battery cartridges in a container with other metal objects such as nails, coins, etc.
(3) Do not expose the battery cartridge to water or rain. A battery short can cause a large current flow, overheating, possible burns, and even a breakdown.
Do not store the tool and battery cartridge in locations where the temperature may reach or exceed 50°C (122°F)
Do not incinerate the battery cartridge even if it is severely damaged or is completely worn out. The battery cartridge can explode in a fire.
