Only charge in a well ventilated area and within the Recommended Ambient Charging Temperature range. Do not block vents; keep them clear for proper ventilation. Do not allow smoking or open flames near a charging battery. Vented gases may explode.
Use only with suitable power supply
Maintain charger cord. Pull plug rather than cord to unplug. Never carry charger by its cord. Keep cord from heat, oil and sharp edges. Ensure cord will not be stepped on, tripped over, damaged, or stressed. Do not use charger with damaged cord or plug. Have damaged charger replaced immediately.
Always unplug before cleaning or maintenance. Do not allow water to flow into AC/DC plug.
Do not burn, incinerate, or expose batteries to fire or excessive temperatures above 130°C (265°F). Batteries may explode. Toxic fumes and materials are created when batteries are burned.
Do not crush, drop, shred, modify, or damage battery. Always securely contain batteries during transport. Do not use a battery that has received a sharp blow, been dropped, run over, or damaged in any way (e.g., pierced with a nail, hit with a hammer, stepped on). Do not use or charge batteries that appear damaged or swollen, or are not functioning properly. Damaged or modified batteries may exhibit unpredictable behavior.
Do not disassemble or attempt to repair batteries or chargers. No internal serviceable parts. Take batteries/chargers that have been damaged, broken, or need repair to a MILWAUKEE® service facility to ensure the safety of the product is maintained.
Battery chemicals cause serious burns. Never allow contact with skin, eyes, or mouth. If a damaged battery leaks battery chemicals, use rubber or neoprene gloves to dispose of it. If skin is exposed to battery fluids, wash with soap and water and rinse with vinegar. If eyes are exposed to battery chemicals, immediately flush with water for 20 minutes and seek medical attention.
Do not short circuit. A short-circuited battery pack may cause fire, personal injury, and product damage. A battery pack will short circuit if a metal object makes a connection between the positive and negative contacts on the battery pack. Do not place a battery pack near anything that may cause a short circuit (e.g., coins, keys, nails, or small metal objects in a pocket, toolbox, or drawer).
Do not allow fluids to flow into battery. Corrosive or conductive fluids, such as seawater, certain industrial chemicals, and bleach or bleach-containing products, etc., can cause a short circuit. Do not use batteries that have been exposed to these types of fluids.
