The batteries in this tool have been designed to provide
maximum trouble free life. However, like all batteries, they
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.
