Important Safety Instructions for All
Integral Battery Charging

WARNING: Read all safety warnings, instructions,
and cautionary markings for the battery,
charging cable and product. Failure to follow the
warnings and instructions may result in electric
shock, fire and/or serious injury.

WARNING: Only charge product using a Listed
Class 2 USB power adapter that is compliant with
applicable country regulations and international/
regional safety standards. Using adapters that do
not meet applicable safety standards could result
in injury.

WARNING: Observe the safety instructions of the
charger being used to charge your device.
• Only use the charging cable supplied by the
manufacturer for charging.
• The provided charging cable is not intended for any
uses other than charging D
with charging ports. Charging other types of tools may
cause their batteries to overheat and burst, resulting in
personal injury, property damage, fire, electric shock
or electrocution.
• DO NOT expose charging cable to water, rain or snow.
• Pull by the plugs rather than the cord when
disconnecting the charging cable. This will reduce the
risk of damage to the plugs and cord.
• Make sure that the cord is located so that it will not
be stepped on, tripped over or otherwise subjected to
damage or stress.
• DO NOT use a charging cable with a damaged cord
or plugs. Have them replaced immediately.
