IMPORTANT SAFETY 
INSTRUCTIONS
 WA R N I N G :
When using electric tools, basic safety precautions should 
always be followed to reduce the risk of fire, electric 
shock, and personal injury, including the following:
1. Read this instruction manual and the charger 
instruction manual carefully before use.
2. Clean only with dry cloth.
3. Do not install near any heat sources such as radiators, 
heat registers, stoves, or other apparatus (including 
amplifiers) that produce heat.
4. Only use attachments/accessories specified by the 
manufacturer.
5. Unplug this apparatus during lighting storms or when 
unused for long periods of time.
6. A battery operated radio with integral batteries or a 
separate battery pack must be recharged only with the 
specified charger for the battery. A charger that may be suitable for one type of battery may create a risk of 
fire when used with another battery.
7. Use battery operated radio only with specifically 
designated battery packs. Use of any other batteries 
may create a risk of fire.
8. 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 terminals together may cause sparks, burns, 
or a fire.
9. Avoid body contact with grounded surfaces such as 
pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There is an 
increased risk of electric shock if your body is 
grounded.
10. Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from 
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.
11. The MAINS plug is used as the disconnect device, 
and it shall remain readily operable.
SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
FOR BATTERY CARTRIDGE1. Before using battery cartridge, read all instructions 
and cautionary markings on (1) battery charger, (2) 
battery, and (3) product using battery.
2. Do not disassemble battery cartridge.
3. If operating time has become excessively shorter, stop 
operating immediately. It may result in a risk of 
overheating, possible burns and even an explosion.
4. If electrolyte gets into your eyes, rinse them out with 
clear water and seek medical attention right away. It 
may result in loss of your eyesight.
5. Do not short the battery cartridge:
(1) Do not touch the terminals with any conductive 
material.
(2) Avoid storing battery cartridge in a container with 
other metal objects such as nails, coins, etc.
(3) Do not expose battery cartridge to water or rain. A 
battery short can cause a large current flow, 
overheating, possible burns and even a 
breakdown.
6. Do not store the tool and battery cartridge in locations 
where the temperature may reach or exceed 50°C 
(122°F).
7. Do not incinerate the battery cartridge even if it is 
severely damaged or is completely worn out. The 
battery cartridge can explode in a fire.
