presence of a source of ignition, 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 can propel debris and chemicals. If

The batteries in this tool have been designed to provide

will eventually wear out. DO NOT disassemble battery  
pack and attempt to replace the batteries. Handling of  
these batteries, especially when wearing rings and jewelry,  
could result in a serious burn.

Consult your local waste authority for information regarding  
available recycling and/or disposal options.  
For more information on battery recycling call 1-800-  
8BATTERY.  
To obtain the longest possible battery life, we suggest the  
following:  
Store and charge your batteries in a cool area.  
Temperatures above 100° F or below 50° F will shorten  
battery life.  
WARNING:  
Upon removal, cover the battery pack's terminals with  
heavy duty adhesive tape. Do not attempt to destroy or  
disassemble battery pack or remove any of its  
components. Nickel-cadmium batteries must be  
recycled or disposed of properly. Also, never touch  
both terminals with metal objects and/or body parts as  
short circuit may result. Keep away from children.  
Failure to comply with these warnings could result in  
fire and/or serious injury.  
Never store batteries in a discharged condition.  
Recharge them after they are discharged.  
All batteries gradually lose their charge. The higher  
the temperature the quicker they lose their charge. If  
you store your tool for long periods of time without  
using it, recharge the batteries every month or two.  
This practice will prolong battery life.  
WARNING:  
Do not attempt to disassemble the battery pack. Fire or  
injury may result.
