• Never store or leave your lithium-ion battery in temperatures above the recommended limits, as this may cause a fire.
• Do NOT store the Lithium-ion battery in locations where the temperature can easily reach higher than recommended levels. This includes garden sheds and vehicles where the inside temperature can climb to dangerous levels in direct sunlight and on high-temperature days. THINK BEFORE LEAVING YOUR LITHIUM-ION BATTERY PACK IN STORAGE.
• The battery can be charged or operated at temperatures between 40°F (4°C) and 104°F (40°C). NEVER CHARGE OR OPERATE YOUR LITHIUM-ION BATTERY BELOW OR ABOVE THE RECOMMENDED TEMPERATURES, OTHERWISE FIRE OR SERIOUS DAMAGE TO THE BATTERY PACK MAY OCCUR.
• The most suitable temperatures to charge the battery pack are between 68°F (20°C) - 77°F (25°C).
• Always allow the battery pack to cool down after charging. Do not place it in a hot environment such as a metal shed or an open trailer left in the sun.
• Take care where the tool is stored. Do not store in areas of corrosive fumes, salt air, or similar conditions. Try to store the tool in the packaging supplied with the tool.
• Do not dispose of the battery in a fire or put the battery into a microwave oven, conventional oven, dryer, or high-pressure container. Under these conditions, the battery may explode.
• Never attempt to open the battery pack, puncture the battery, or subject the battery to strong physical shock.
• If the plastic housing of the battery pack breaks open or cracks, immediately discontinue its use and do not recharge it. Ensure the battery pack clip is in good condition and will not allow the pack to fall free from the tool. If the clip is damaged or for any reason is not locking the pack in place, Do Not continue to use.
• Stop using the battery if it exhibits abnormal heat, odour, colour, deformation, or is in an abnormal condition.
• If you detect leakage or a foul odour, it is especially important to keep the battery away from fire. If battery liquid leaks onto your skin or clothes, wash well with clean water immediately. If liquid leaking from the battery gets into your eyes, do not rub your eyes. Rinse your eyes well (for at least 10 minutes) with clean water, and consult a doctor immediately. Do not use a leaking battery.
• Handle batteries with care to avoid shorting the battery with conducting materials, such as nails, screws, metal watch bands, rings, bracelets, and keys. The battery may overheat and could burn you.
• After the battery has reached the end of its useful life, we recommend recycling the materials at your local municipal council recycling centre. DO NOT attempt to replace the battery cells in the battery pack, repair or modify any part of the battery pack assembly.
• When recycling, make it non-conductive by applying insulating tape to the terminals located on the battery.
