BATTERY SAFETY
 Battery operated units do not have to be plugged into an
electrical outlet; therefore, they are always in operating
condition. Be aware of possible hazards even when unit
is not operating.
 Remove the battery pack from the chain saw before
cleaning, servicing, storing, removing material from the
unit, changing accessories such as the bar and chain, or
when not in use.
 A battery pack must be recharged only with the speci-
fied charger for the battery pack. A charger that may be
suitable for one type of battery pack may create a risk
of fire when used with another battery pack. Use battery
pack only with charger listed.
 To reduce the risk of explosion and possible injury, Do not
place battery units or their batteries near fire or heat.
 Do not open or mutilate the battery pack. Released elec-
trolyte is corrosive and may cause damage to the eyes
or skin. It may be toxic if swallowed.
 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
SPEcIFIc SAFETY RULES
explosion. Properly dispose of a dropped or damaged
battery immediately.
 Batteries can explode in the presence of a source of ig-
nition, 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 pack can
propel debris and chemicals. If exposed, flush with water
immediately.
 Do not charge unit in a damp or wet location. Following
this rule will reduce the risk of electric shock.
 For best results, your battery unit should be charged in
a location where the temperature is more than 50°F but
less than 100°F. Do not store outside or in vehicles.
 Under extreme usage or temperature conditions, battery
pack leakage may occur. If liquid comes in contact with
your skin, wash immediately with soap and water, then
neutralize with lemon juice or vinegar. If liquid gets into
your eyes, flush them with clean water for at least 10
minutes, then seek immediate medical attention.
 Do not dispose of batteries in a fire. The cell may explode.
Batteries should be recycled, consult your local waste
authority for information regarding available recycling
and/or disposal options.
 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 pack
terminals together may cause sparks, burns, or a fire.
