SAFETY RULES
WARNING!
READ AND UNDERSTAND ALL INSTRUCTIONS. Failure to follow all instructions listed below, may
result in electric shock, fire and/or serious personal injury.
WARNING:
NEVER IMMERSE OR EXPOSE YOUR BATTERY PACK, TOOL, OR CHARGER TO CORROSIVE
OR CONDUCTIVE FLUIDS OR ALLOW THESE FLUIDS TO FLOW INSIDE THESE ITEMS.
Corrosive or conductive fluids, such as seawater, chlorine, certain industrial chemicals, and bleach or
bleach containing products, etc., can cause a short circuit in the battery pack.
If your battery pack is exposed to a corrosive or conductive fluid, do not attempt to use or charge the
battery pack and immediately perform the following steps:
Wear appropriate personal protective equipment, including eye protection and rubber gloves.
Place your exposed battery pack in a large bucket, such as a 5 gallon or similar bucket, and fill the
bucket with regular tap water. Do not place more than two packs in the bucket.
Locate the bucket outdoors in an area inaccessible to children and pets and away from all buildings,
garages/sheds, structures, vehicles, and combustible/flammable materials.
Leave the battery pack(s) in the bucket filled with tap water and call Customer Service at
1-866-539-1710 for additional instructions on the proper disposal of the exposed battery pack(s).
Battery packs exposed to corrosive or conductive fluids and failure to follow the steps above in the event
of exposure to these fluids can result in smoke/fire, serious personal injury, and/or property damage.
Battery tools 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 tool or when changing accessories.
Following this rule will reduce the risk of electric shock, fire, or serious personal injury.
Do not place battery tools or their batteries near fire or heat. This will reduce the risk of explosion and
possibly injury.
Do not crush, drop or damage battery pack. Do not use a battery pack 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 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 battery tool in a damp or wet location. Following this rule will reduce the risk of electric
shock.
Charge only with RIDGID
personal injury, fire, or damage.
Do not charge in an area of extreme heat or cold. It will work best at normal room temperature. To
