Battery Charger Safety
• Use an appropriate power source. Do not use DC
power. May cause damage to charger resulting in
electrical shock, fire or burns.
• Do not allow anything to cover the charger while in
use. Proper ventilation is required for correct operation
of charger. Covering vents may result in fire. Allow a min-
imum of 4" (102 mm) of clearance around the charger
for proper ventilation.
• Unplug the charger when not in use. Reduces risk of
injury to children and untrained persons.
• Do not carry charger by power cord. Do not pull
cord to unplug. Reduces risk of electrical shock.
Battery Safety
• Avoid contact with battery fluids. Fluids may cause
burns or skin irritation. Thoroughly rinse with water in
case of accidental contact with fluid. Consult doctor if
fluid comes into contact with eyes.
• Use batteries only with equipment specifically des-
ignating their use. Using equipment and batteries
that are not rated for use together can cause fire or
other personal injury.
• When battery pack is not in use, keep it away from
other metal objects, like paper clips, coins, keys,
nails, screws or other small metal objects that can
make a connection from one terminal to another.
Shorting the battery terminals together may cause
burns or a fire.
• Do not burn battery or expose to high tempera-
tures. High temperatures can cause the battery to
explode.
• Properly dispose of batteries. Do not burn. When dis-
posing, place tape over battery terminals to prevent
shorting. Batteries are Li-Ion and should be recycled.
Follow all applicable local regulations for disposal of
batteries. Refer to Disposal section.
