• 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.
