rect reassembly may result in a risk
of electric shock or fire.
11) To reduce the risk of electric shock,
unplug charger from outlet before
attempting any maintenance or

battery pack housing.
15) Do not store the tool and battery
pack in locations where the tempera-

(such a metal tool shed, or a car in
the summer), which can lead to de-
terioration of the storage battery.
16) Do not charge battery pack when the
temperature is BELOW 0°C (32°F)

22) Use of an attachment not recom-
mended may result in a risk of fire,
electric shock, or injury to persons.

This plug will fit in a polarized outlet
only one way. If the plug does not fit
fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If
it still does not fit, contact a qualified
electrician to install the proper outlet.
Do not change the plug in any way.
