This does not indicate a failure. However, if the outer seal is
broken and this leakage gets on your skin:
a. Wash quickly with soap and water.
b. Neutralize with a mild acid such as lemon juice or vinegar.

water for a minimum of 10 minutes and seek immediate
medical attention. (Medical note: The liquid is 25-35%
solution of potassium hydroxide.)

• Do not store or use the tool and battery pack in locations
where the temperature may reach or exceed 105°F (such as
outside sheds or metal buildings in summer).
DANGER: Electrocution hazard. Never attempt to open the
battery pack for any reason. If battery pack case is cracked or
damaged, do not insert into charger. Electric shock or electrocution
may result. Damaged battery packs should be returned to service
center for recycling.
NOTE: Battery storage and carrying caps are provided

battery terminals. For example, do not place battery in aprons,
pockets, tool boxes, product kit boxes, drawers, etc., with loose
nails, screws, keys, etc. without battery cap. Transporting batteries
can possibly cause fires if the battery terminals inadvertently
