Work area safety
Safety guidelines for the battery pack
• Keep your work area clean and well-lit. Cluttered
benches and dark areas invite accidents.
• Do not operate power tools in an explosive
environment, such as in the presence of flammable
liquids, gases, or dust. Power tools create sparks that may
ignite the dust or fumes.
• Use this battery pack only with the charger listed.
BATTERY PACK CHARGER
Electrical safety
WARNING!
To reduce the risk of electrocution, keep all
connections dry and off the ground.
• Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water
entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
Use and care of battery-operated tools
• Recharge only using the charger specified by the
manufacturer. A charger that is suitable for one type
of battery pack may create a risk of fire when used with
another battery pack.
• Only use power tools with specifically designated
battery packs. The use of any other battery packs may
create a risk of injury and fire.
• When a 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.
• Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from the
battery; avoid contact. If contact accidentally occurs, flush
with water. If liquid contacts eyes, seek additional medical help.
Liquid ejected from the battery may cause irritation or burns.

• Know your power tool. Read the Instruction Manual
carefully. Learn the applications and limitations, as well as the
specific potential hazards related to this tool. Following this rule
will reduce the risk of electric shock, fire or serious injury.
• Battery-operated tools do not have to be plugged
into an electrical outlet; therefore they are always in
operating condition. Be aware of possible hazards when
not using your battery-operated tool or when changing
accessories. Following this rule will reduce the risk of electric
shock, fire or serious personal injury.
• Do not place battery-operated tools or their batteries
near fire or heat. This will reduce the risk of explosion and
possibly injury.
• Do not crush, drop or damage the battery pack. Do not use a
battery pack or charger that has been dropped or that has received
a sharp blow. A damaged battery is subject to explosion. Properly
dispose of a dropped or damaged battery pack immediately.
• Batteries vent hydrogen gas and can explode in the 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 an open flame. An exploded battery can propel debris
and chemicals. If exposed, flush with water immediately.
• Do not charge a battery-operated tool in a damp or wet
location. Following this rule will reduce the risk of electric shock.
• For best results, your battery-operated tool should be
charged in a location where the temperature is higher
than 0°C (32°F) but lower than 40°C (104°F). Do not
store outside or in a vehicle.

• Under extreme usage or temperature conditions,
battery leakage may occur. If liquid comes into contact
with your skin, wash immediately with soap and water, then
neutralize using lemon juice or vinegar. If liquid gets in your
eyes, flush them with clean water for at least 10 minutes,
then seek immediate medical attention. Following this rule
will reduce the risk of serious personal injury.
• Do not let gasoline, oils, petroleum-based products,
etc. come into contact with plastic parts. They contain
chemicals that can damage, weaken or destroy plastic.
• If battery pack is cracked or damaged, do not insert
into charger. Store battery pack in well ventilated, dry and
cool conditions and avoid direct sunlight and rain. Risk of fire,
explosion, and burns. Do not disassemble, crush, heat above
100°C(212°F),or incinerate. Keep battery out of reach of children.

them to instruct others who may use this tool. If you lend this
tool to someone, also lend this instruction manual to prevent
misuse of the product and possible injury.

Before attempting to use this tool, become familiar with
all of its operating features and safety requirements. For
optimum performance and safety, read the following operating
instructions carefully before using.
WARNING!
Do not allow familiarity with the battery to cause
a lack of alertness. A fraction of a second of
carelessness is enough to cause severe injury.
12V max* LITHIUM-ION BATTERY PACK - 054-1259-2
• This Lithium-Ion battery pack will provide optimal
performance in temperatures between 0°C (32°F) and 40°C
(104°F). When the battery pack is very cold, it may “pulse”
for the first minute of use in order to warm itself. Put the
battery pack on a tool and use the tool in a light application.
After about a minute, the battery pack will have warmed
itself and will operate normally.
When to charge the battery pack
The Lithium-Ion battery pack can be charged at any time and
will not develop a “memory” when charged after only a partial
discharge. It is not necessary to run down the battery pack
charge before recharging. Remove the battery pack from the
tool when it is convenient for you and your job.
• You can “top-off” your battery pack’s charge before starting a
big job or a long period of use.
• Due to Lithium-Ion’s fade-free properties, the only time it is
necessary to charge the Lithium- Ion battery pack is when
the pack has reached the end of its charge. To signal the
end of charge, power to the tool will drop quickly. Charge the
battery pack as needed.

understand the Instruction Manual.
• It is good practice to unplug the charger and remove the
Lithium-Ion battery pack when not in use.
For Lithium-Ion battery pack storage longer than 30 days:
• Store the Lithium-Ion battery pack where the temperature is
below 26°C (80°F) and in a location that is free of moisture.
• Store Lithium-Ion battery packs in a 30%-50% charged
condition.
• Fully charge the Lithium-Ion battery pack after six months
of storage.
• Use a cloth or soft non-metallic brush to clean the exterior.
