SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES the area thoroughly before occupying again. Ensure the generator is located in an open, outdoor area at least 20 feet away from all doors, windows, and occupied spaces. Never run the generator in enclosed areas (e.g. not in a house or garage). Failure to follow these instructions can lead to carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning which can result in death or serious injury.  DO NOT tamper with, adjust, or modify the carbon monoxide (CO) sensor module on your generator. Failure to follow these instructions can cause the monitor to malfunction which can result in death or serious personal injury. SPECIFIC RULES FOR BATTERY OPERATION  Never use water or any liquids to clean or rinse off your product and do not expose the product to rain or wet conditions. Store indoors in a dry area. Corrosive liquids, water, and chemicals can enter the product's electronic components and/or battery compartment and damage electronic components and/or the battery pack, which can result in a short circuit, increased risk of fire, and serious personal i­njury. Remove any buildup of dirt and debris by wiping the product clean with a dry cloth occasionally.  Do not use battery-operated appliance in rain.  Remove or disconnect battery before servicing, cleaning or removing material from the tool.  Use battery only with charger listed. For use with 18V lithium-ion battery packs, see Tool/Appliance/Battery Pack/Charger Correlation Supplement 987000-432.  Store idle appliances - When not in use, tool should be stored indoors in a dry, locked place out of the reach of children.  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 use a battery pack or appliance that is damaged or modified. Damaged or modified batteries may exhibit unpredictable behavior resulting in fire, explosion or risk of injury.  Do not expose a battery pack or appliance to fire or excessive temperature. Exposure to fire or temperature above 265°F may cause explosion.  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.  Have servicing performed by a qualified repair person using only identical replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the product is maintained.  Do not dispose of the batteries in a fire. The cell may explode. Check with local codes for possible special disposal instructions.  Do not open or mutilate the batteries. Released electrolyte is corrosive and may cause damage to the eyes or skin. It may be toxic if swallowed.  Do not place battery tools or their batteries near fire or heat. This will reduce the risk of explosion and possibly injury.  Batteries can explode in the presence of a source of ignition, such as a pilot light. To reduce the risk of serious personal injury, never use any cordless product in the presence of open flame. An exploded battery can propel debris and chemicals. If exposed, flush with water immediately.  Do not crush, drop or damage battery pack. Do not use a battery pack or charger that has been dropped or received a sharp blow. A damaged battery is subject to explosion. Properly dispose of a dropped or damaged battery immediately.  Exercise care in handling batteries in order not to short the battery with conducting materials such as rings, bracelets, and keys. The battery or conductor may overheat and cause burns.  Under extreme usage or temperature conditions, battery leakage may occur. If liquid comes in contact with your skin, wash immediately with soap and water. If liquid gets into your eyes, flush them with clean water for at least 10 minutes, then seek immediate medical attention. Following this rule will reduce the risk of serious personal injury.  Save these instructions. Refer to them frequently and use them to instruct others who may use this power tool.
