Disconnect the battery pack from the appliance before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing appliance.
Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the appliance accidentally.
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 burns or a fire.
