A charger that is suitable for one type of BATTERY pack may create a risk of fire when used with another BATTERY pack. 2. Use power tools only with specifically designated BATTERY packs. Use of any other BATTERY packs may create a risk of injury and fire. 3. 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. 4. Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from the BATTERY; avoid contact. If contact accidentally occurs, flush with water. If liquid contacts eyes, additionally seek medical help. Liquid ejected from the BATTERY may cause irritation or burns. 5. Do not use a BATTERY pack or tool that is damaged or modified. Damaged or modified batteries may exhibit unpredictable behaviour resulting in fire, EXPLOSION or risk of injury. 6. Do not expose a BATTERY pack or tool to fire or excessive temperature. Exposure to fire or temperature above 130 °C may cause explosion. 7. Follow all charging instructions and do not charge the BATTERY pack or tool outside the temperature range specified in the instructions.
