2 BATTERY & CHARGER SAFETY! WARNING: Only use the charger supplied to charge the Mastercraft 12V Ni-Cd ( ) or 18V Ni-Cd ( ). Charging any other batteries may damage the charger and possibly cause serious injury. Do not store or carry the battery where metal objects could contact the exposed metal end of the battery. Do not place the battery in aprons, pockets, drawers, etc. with loose nails, screws, keys etc. The battery could short circuit causing a fire, personal injury or damage to the battery. Do not attempt to open the battery for any reason. If the housing of the battery breaks or cracks, immediately discontinue use and do not recharge. Do not charge the battery if it is wet or shows any evidence of corrosion. A small leakage from the battery may occur under extreme usage, charging or temperature conditions. This does not indicate a failure. However, if the outer seal is broken and this leakage gets on your skin, follow these steps: 1. Wash immediately with soap and water. 2. Neutralize with a mild acid such as lemon juice or vinegar. 3. If liquid gets into your eyes, flush immediately with clean water for a minimum of 10 minutes and seek medical attention. NOTE: The battery liquid is slightly acidic. Do not incinerate the battery; it can explode in a fire. Do not use an extension cord; plug the charger cord directly into an electrical outlet. Do not allow the cord to hang over the edge of a table or counter or touch hot surfaces. The charger should be placed away from sinks and hot surfaces. Do not use the charger to charge any batteries other than the cordless drill batteries. Other batteries may explode. Do not operate charger if the cord or plug is damaged. Replace the damaged cord and plug immediately. Do not operate the charger if it has received a sharp blow, been dropped or otherwise damaged in any way. Have a qualified technician examine the charger and repair it if necessary. Do not disassemble the charger. Do NOT charge the batteries when the work area or the battery temperature is at or below 0 C (32 F) or above 45 C (113 F). Unplug the charger when not in use and before cleaning or maintenance.
