SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES FOR THE BATTERY & CHARGER

WARNING: To reduce the risk of electric shock, always unplug the charger before perform-

ing any cleaning or maintenance. Do not allow water to flow into the charger. Use a Ground Fault

Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) to reduce shock hazards.

8. UNPLUG CHARGER WHEN NOT IN USE. Make sure to remove battery packs from unplugged char-

gers.

9. DO NOT BURN OR INCINERATE BATTERY PACKS. Battery packs may explode, causing personal

injury or damage. Toxic fumes and materials are created when battery packs are burned.

10. DO NOT CRUSH, DROP OR DAMAGE BATTERY PACKS. Do not use the battery pack or charger

if they have sustained a sharp blow, been dropped, run over or have been damaged in any way (e.g.

pierced with a nail, hit with a hammer, stepped on, etc.).

11. DO NOT DISASSEMBLE. Incorrect reassembly may pose a serious risk of electric shock, fire or

exposure to toxic battery chemicals. If the battery or charger are damaged, call WEN customer service

at 1-800-232-1195 for assistance.

12. BATTERY CHEMICALS CAUSE SERIOUS BURNS. Never let a damaged battery pack contact the

skin, eyes or mouth. If a damaged battery pack leaks battery chemicals, use rubber or neoprene gloves

to safely dispose of it. If skin is exposed to battery fluids, wash the affected area with soap and water

and rinse with vinegar. If eyes are exposed to battery chemicals, immediately flush with water for 20

minutes and seek medical attention. Remove and dispose of contaminated clothing.

13. DO NOT SHORT CIRCUIT. A battery pack will short circuit if a metal object makes a connection

between the positive and negative contacts on the battery pack. Do not place a battery pack near any

thing that may cause a short circuit, such as paper clips, coins, keys, screws, nails and other metallic

objects. A short-circuited battery pack poses a risk of fire and severe personal injury.

14. STORE YOUR BATTERY PACK AND CHARGER IN A COOL, DRY PLACE. Do not store the battery

pack or charger where temperatures may exceed 104°F, such as in direct sunlight or inside a vehicle or

metal building during the summer.

15. ALWAYS REMOVE THE BATTERY PACK FROM THE TOOL AFTER USE. Before assembling, adjust

ing, cleaning, or storing the pole saw, you must remove the battery pack.
