IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS Always remove battery pack when you are assembling parts, making adjustments, cleaning, or when not in use. Removing battery pack will prevent accidental starting that could cause serious personal injury. Do not use a battery pack or product that is damaged or modified. Damaged or modified batteries may exhibit unpredictable behavior resulting in fire, explosion or risk of injury. Do not modify or attempt to repair the product or battery pack that has been damaged. To reduce the risk of serious personal injury, never use or expose battery pack or any cordless product in the presence of an open flame or temperature above 265°F. An exploded battery can propel debris and chemicals. If exposed, flush with water immediately. Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the off-position before connecting to power source and/or battery pack, picking up or carrying the product. Carrying battery products with your finger on the switch or energizing battery products that have the switch on invites accidents. 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. Do not charge battery product in a damp or wet location. Do not use, store, or charge battery packs or products in locations where the temperature is less than 50°F or more than 100°F. Do not store outside or in vehicles. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, and any other condition that may affect the product's operation. If damaged, have the product serviced before using. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained products. Use only accessories that are recommended by the manufacturer for your model. Accessories that may be suitable for one product may create a risk of injury when used on another product. Do not let gasoline, oils, petroleum-based products, etc., come in contact with plastic parts. They contain chemicals that can damage, weaken, or destroy plastic. Have servicing performed by a qualified repair person using only identical replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the product is maintained. Appliance is intended for household use only. This product contains no internal serviceable parts. Save these instructions. Refer to them frequently and use them to instruct others who may use this product. If you loan someone this product, loan them these instructions also. WARNING: NEVER IMMERSE OR EXPOSE YOUR BATTERY PACK, OR CHARGER TO CORROSIVE OR CONDUCTIVE FLUIDS OR ALLOW THESE FLUIDS TO FLOW INSIDE THESE ITEMS. Corrosive or conductive fluids, such as seawater, chlorine, certain industrial chemicals, and bleach or bleach containing products, etc., can cause a short circuit in the battery pack. If your battery pack is exposed to a corrosive or conductive fluid, do not attempt to use or charge the battery pack and immediately perform the following steps: Wear appropriate personal protective equipment, including eye protection and rubber gloves. Place your exposed battery pack in a large bucket, such as a 5 gallon or similar bucket, and fill the bucket with regular tap water. Do not place more than two packs in the bucket. Locate the bucket outdoors in an area inaccessible to children and pets and away from all buildings, garages/ sheds, structures, vehicles, and combustible/flammable materials. Leave the battery pack(s) in the bucket filled with tap water and call Customer Service at 1-800-525-2579 for additional instructions on the proper disposal of the exposed battery pack(s). Battery packs exposed to corrosive or conductive fluids and failure to follow the steps above in the event of exposure to these fluids can result in smoke/fire, serious personal injury, and/or property damage.
