PRECAUTIONS FOR USE OF THE CORDLESS CLEANER

The precautions common to the cleaners have been described. For the cleaners for electric tools, follow further precautions described below:

WARNING

1. Prevent the appliance from sucking in the following:
2. Liquids (e.g., water, oil) or damp debris.
3. Generated spark during metal grinding or cutting.
4. High temperature things, such as lighted cigarette.
5. Inflammable substances (gasoline, thinner, benzine, kerosene, paint, etc.), explosive substances (nitroglycerine, etc.), combustible substances (aluminum, zinc, magnesium, titanium, red phosphorus, yellow phosphorus, celluloid, etc.)
6. harp things, such as nails, razors or glass.

9. Do not use the appliance with its suction opening, air inlet or exhaust opening obstructed. The temperature of the motor may rise abnormally, causing troubles such as deformation of parts or motor burnout.
10. Do not operate the appliance when its intake port or fl ooring nozzle, etc. is clogged with foreign matter. The temperature of the motor may rise abnormally, causing troubles such as deformation of parts or motor burnout.
11. When you drop or bump the appliance accidentally, check for breakage, crack, or deformation in the appliance. Breakage, crack or deformation may cause injuries.
12. When the appliance is out of condition or emits abnormal sound during use, immediately turn off the switch and request repair from your local retailer or authorized servicing agent. If you continue to use the appliance as it is, it may lead to injuries.
13. This appliance is only used indoors. Never use it outdoors. Do not use in the rain. Keep away from water or oil. Malfunction may result as this appliance is not waterproof.

ADDITIONAL SAFETY WARNINGS

1. Always charge the battery at a temperature of 0oC – 40oC. A temperature of less than 0oC will result in over charging which is dangerous. The battery cannot be charged at a temperature higher than 40oC. The most suitable temperature for charging is that of 20oC – 25oC.
2. Do not use the charger continuously. When one charging is completed, leave the charger for about 15 minutes before the next charging of battery.
3. Do not allow foreign matter to enter the hole for connecting the rechargeable battery.
4. Never disassemble the rechargeable battery and charger.
5. ever short-circuit the rechargeable battery. Shortcircuiting the battery will cause a great electric current and overheat. It results in burn or damage to the battery.
6. Using an exhausted battery will damage the charger.
7. Do not insert object into the air ventilation slots of the charger. Inserting metal objects or infl ammables into the charger air ventilation slots will result in electrical shock hazard or damaged charger.
8. Do not expose directly your eye to the light by looking into the light. If your eye is continuously exposed to the light, your eye will be hurt.
9. Do not give a strong shock to the switch panel or break it. It may lead to a trouble.
10. Do not use the product if the tool or the battery terminals (battery mount) are deformed. Installing the battery could cause a short circuit that could result in smoke emission or ignition.
11. Keep the tool’s terminals (battery mount) free of swarf and dust.
12. Prior to use, make sure that swarf and dust have not collected in the area of the terminals.
13. During use, try to avoid swarf or dust on the tool from falling on the battery.
14. When suspending operation or after use, do not leave the tool in an area where it may be exposed to falling swarf or dust.
15. Do not dispose of the battery in fi re. If the battery is burnt, it may explode.
16. Bring the battery to the shop from which it was purchased as soon as the post-charging battery life becomes too short for practical use. Do not dispose of the exhausted battery.

CAUTION ON LITHIUM-ION BATTERY

To extend the lifetime, the lithium-ion battery equips with the protection function to stop the output. In the cases of 1 to 3 described below, when using this product, even if it is switched on, the motor may stop. This is not the trouble but the result of protection function.

1. When the battery power remaining runs out, the motor stops. In such a case, charge it up immediately.
2. If the tool is overloaded, the motor may stop. In this case, switch the tool off and eliminate causes of overloading. After that, you can use it again.
3. If the battery is overheated under overload work, the battery power may stop. In this case, stop using the battery and let the battery cool. After that, you can use it again.

Furthermore, please heed the following warning and caution.

WARNING
In order to prevent any battery leakage, heat generation, smoke emission, explosion and ignition beforehand, please be sure to heed the following precautions.

1. Make sure that swarf and dust do not collect on the battery.
2. During work make sure that swarf and dust do not fall on the battery.
3. Make sure that any swarf and dust falling on the power tool during work do not collect on the battery.
4. Do not store an unused battery in a location exposed to swarf and dust.
5. Before storing a battery, remove any swarf and dust that may adhere to it and do not store it together with metal parts (screws, nails, etc.).
6. Do not pierce battery with a sharp object such as a nail, strike with a hammer, step on, throw or subject the battery to severe physical shock.
7. Do not use an apparently damaged or deformed battery.
8. Do not use the battery in reverse polarity.
9. Do not connect directly to an electrical outlets or car cigarette lighter sockets.
10. Do not use the battery for a purpose other than those specifi ed.
11. If the battery charging fails to complete even when a specifi ed recharging time has elapsed, immediately stop further recharging.
12.  Do not put or subject the battery to high temperatures or high pressure such as into a microwave oven, dryer, or high pressure container.
13. Keep away from fi re immediately when leakage or foul odor are detected.
14. Do not use in a location where strong static electricity generates.
15. If there is battery leakage, foul odor, heat generated, discolored or deformed, or in any way appears abnormal during use, recharging or storage, immediately remove it from the equipment or battery charger, and stop use.
16.  Do not immerse the battery or allow any fl uids to fl ow inside. Conductive liquid ingress, such as water, can cause damage resulting in fi re or explosion. Store your battery in a cool, dry place, away from combustible and fl ammable items. Corrosive gas atmospheres must be avoided.

CAUTION

1. If liquid leaking from the battery gets into your eyes, do not rub your eyes and wash them well with fresh clean water such as tap water and contact a doctor immediately. If left untreated, the liquid may cause eye-problems.
2. If liquid leaks onto your skin or clothes, wash well with clean water such as tap water immediately. There is a possibility that this can cause skin irritation.
3. If you find rust, foul odor, overheating, discolor, deformation, and/or other irregularities when using the battery for the fi rst time, do not use and return it to your supplier or vendor.

WARNING
If a conductive foreign matter enters in the terminal of lithium ion battery, the battery may be shorted, causing fi re. When storing the lithium ion battery, obey surely the rules of following contents.

• Do not place conductive debris, nail and wires such as iron wire and copper wire in the storage case.
• To prevent shorting from occurring, load the battery in the tool or insert securely the battery cover for storing until the ventilator is not seen.

REGARDING LITHIUM-ION BATTERY TRANSPORTATION

When transporting a lithium-ion battery, please observe the following precautions.
WARNING
Notify the transporting company that a package contains a lithium-ion battery, inform the company of its power output and follow the instructions of the transportation company when arranging transport.

• Lithium-ion batteries that exceed a power output of 100 Wh are considered to be in the freight classifi cation of Dangerous Goods and will require special application procedures.
• For transportation abroad, you must comply with international law and the rules and regulations of the destination country.
• If the BSL36B18 is installed in the power tool, the power output will exceed 100 Wh and the unit will be classifi ed as Dangerous Goods for freight classifi cation.
