IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
 Always remove battery pack when you are assembling
parts, making adjustments, cleaning, or when not
in use. Removing battery pack will prevent accidental
starting that could cause serious personal injury.
 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.
 Do not modify or attempt to repair the product or
battery pack that has been damaged.
 To reduce the risk of serious personal injury, never
use or expose battery pack or any cordless product
in the presence of an open flame or temperature
above 265°F. An exploded battery can propel debris and
chemicals. If exposed, flush with water immediately.
 Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in
the off-position before connecting to power source
and/or battery pack, picking up or carrying the prod-
uct. Carrying battery products with your finger on the
switch or energizing battery products that have the switch
on invites accidents.
 Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from
the battery; avoid contact. If contact accidentally
occurs, flush with water. If liquid contacts eyes, ad-
ditionally seek medical help. Liquid ejected from the
battery may cause irritation or burns.

NEVER IMMERSE OR EXPOSE YOUR BATTERY PACK,
OR CHARGER TO CORROSIVE OR CONDUCTIVE
FLUIDS OR ALLOW THESE FLUIDS TO FLOW INSIDE

Corrosive or conductive fluids, such as seawater, chlo-
rine, certain industrial chemicals, and bleach or bleach
containing products, etc., can cause a short circuit in the
