SAFETY
iNSTRUCTiONS
FOR BATTERY
PACKS
!_WARNING:
For safe operation,
read this manual and manuals
originally
supplied
with tool
before using the charger.
The battery
pack is not fully charged
out of the carton.
Before using the battery pack and charger,
read the safety instructions below. Then follow charging
procedures
outlined.
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS
* Do not incinerate
the battery
pack even if it is severely
damaged
or is completely
worn
out.
The battery pack can explode
in a fire. Toxic fumes and materials
are created
when battery packs
are burned.
* Do not charge
or use battery
in explosive
atmospheres,
such as in the presence of flammable
liquids,
gases or dust. Inserting or removing
the battery from the charger may ignite the dust or fumes.
* if battery
contents
come
into contact
with
the skin, immediately
wash area with
mild soap
and water.
If battery liquid gets into the eye, rinse water over the open eye for 15 minutes
or
until irritation ceases.
If medical attention
is needed,
the battery electrolyte
for Li-ion batteries
is
composed
of a mixture of liquid organic carbonates
and fithium salts.
* Contents
of opened
battery
cells may cause respiratory
irritation.
Provide fresh air. If symptoms
persist, seek medical attention.
_WARNING:
BURN HAZARD.
BATTERY
LIQUID
MAY BE FLAMMABLE
IF EXPOSED
TO
SPARK
OR FLAME.
* Charge the battery packs only in Craftsman
C_ chargers.
* DO NOT splash
or immerse
in water
or other liquids.
This may cause premature
cell failure.
* Do not store or use the tool and battery
pack in locations
where
the temperature
may reach
or exceed
105°F (40°C) (such as outside sheds
or metal buildings
in summer).
!_WARNING:

batteries
in commerce
or on
airplanes
(i.e., packed
in suitcases
and carry-on
luggage)
UNLESS
they are properly
protected
from
short circuits. So when transporting
individual
batteries,
make sure that the battery
terminals
are
