1) Do not store the tool and battery pack in
locations where the temperature may reach
or exceed 0°C (1°F) (such as a metal
tool shed, or a car in the summer), which can
lead to deterioration of the storage battery.
1) Do not charge battery pack when the
temperature is BELOW 0°C (3°F) or ABOVE
40°C (104°F). This is very important in order
to maintain optimal condition of the battery
pack.
17) Do not incinerate the battery pack. It can
explode in a fire.
18) Avoid dangerous environment. Do not use

1) Charge the battery pack in a well ventilated
place, do not cover the charger and battery
pack with a cloth, etc., while charging.
) Use of an attachment not recommended
may result in a risk of fire, electric shock, or
personal injury.
3) Do not short the battery pack. A battery short
can cause a large current flow, over heating
and create the risk of fire or personal injury.
4) NOTE: If the supply cord of this appliance
is damaged, it must only be replaced by a
repair shop authorized by the manufacturer,
because special purpose tools are required.
) TO REDUCE THE RISK OF ELECTRIC
SHOCK, THIS APPLIANCE HAS A
POLARIZED PLUG (ONE BLADE IS WIDER
THAN THE OTHER).
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 out-
let. Do not change the plug in any way.
