Do not store or use the tool and battery pack in
locations where the temperature may reach or
exceed 104 °F (40 °C) (such as outside sheds or metal
buildings in summer). For best life store battery packs in
a cool, dry location.
NOTE: Do not store the battery packs in a tool with
the trigger switch locked on. Never tape the trigger
switch in the ON position.
•
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 lithium-ion battery packs are burned.

Follow all charging instructions and do not charge the
battery pack or appliance outside of the temperature
range specified in the instructions. Charging improperly or
at temperatures outside of the specified range may damage
the battery and increase the risk of fire.

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 is composed of a

Fuel Gauge Battery Packs (Fig. B)
Some battery packs include a fuel gauge. When the fuel
gauge button is pressed and held, the LED lights will
indicate the approximate level of charge remaining. This
does not indicate tool functionality and is subject to
variation based on product components, temperature, and
end‑user application.

transport the battery pack so that metal objects
can contact exposed battery terminals. For

pockets, tool boxes, product kit boxes, drawers, etc.,
with loose nails, screws, keys, coins, hand tools, etc.
When transporting individual battery packs, make
sure that the battery terminals are protected and well
insulated from materials that could contact them and
cause a short circuit. NOTE: Li-ion battery packs should
not be put in checked baggage on airplanes and must
be properly protected from short circuits if they are in
carry-on baggage.
