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 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.
■Do not expose a battery pack or tool to fire or excessive
temperature. Exposure to fire or temperature above 130
°C may cause an explosion.
■To reduce the risk of fire, personal injury, and product
damage due to a short circuit, never immerse the
product, battery pack, or charger in fluid or allow fluid
to flow inside them. Corrosive or conductive fluids, such
as seawater, certain industrial chemicals, and bleach
or bleach-containing products, etc., can cause a short
circuit.
CHARGER SAFETY WARNINGS
■Follow all charging instructions, and do not charge
the battery pack or tool outside the temperature range
specified in the instructions. Charging improperly or at
temperatures outside the specified range may damage
the battery and increase the risk of fire.
