SAFETY RULES

WARNING!

READ AND UNDERSTAND ALL INSTRUCTIONS. Failure to follow all instructions listed below, may

result in electric shock, fire and/or serious personal injury.

WARNING:

NEVER IMMERSE OR EXPOSE YOUR BATTERY PACK, TOOL, OR CHARGER TO CORROSIVE

OR CONDUCTIVE FLUIDS OR ALLOW THESE FLUIDS TO FLOW INSIDE THESE ITEMS.

Corrosive or conductive fluids, such as seawater, chlorine, certain industrial chemicals, and bleach or

bleach containing products, etc., can cause a short circuit in the battery pack.

If your battery pack is exposed to a corrosive or conductive fluid, do not attempt to use or charge the

battery pack and immediately perform the following steps:

 Wear appropriate personal protective equipment, including eye protection and rubber gloves.

 Place your exposed battery pack in a large bucket, such as a 5 gallon or similar bucket, and fill the

bucket with regular tap water. Do not place more than two packs in the bucket.

 Locate the bucket outdoors in an area inaccessible to children and pets and away from all buildings,

garages/sheds, structures, vehicles, and combustible/flammable materials.

 Leave the battery pack(s) in the bucket filled with tap water and call Customer Service at

1-866-539-1710 for additional instructions on the proper disposal of the exposed battery pack(s).

Battery packs exposed to corrosive or conductive fluids and failure to follow the steps above in the event

of exposure to these fluids can result in smoke/fire, serious personal injury, and/or property damage.

Battery 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 tool or when changing accessories.

Following this rule will reduce the risk of electric shock, fire, or serious personal injury.

Do not place battery tools or their batteries near fire or heat. This will reduce the risk of explosion and

possibly injury.

Do not crush, drop or damage battery pack. Do not use a battery pack or charger that has been dropped

or received a sharp blow. A damaged battery is subject to explosion. Properly dispose of a dropped or

damaged battery immediately.

Batteries 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 open flame. An exploded battery can

propel debris and chemicals. If exposed, flush with water immediately.

Do not charge battery tool in a damp or wet location. Following this rule will reduce the risk of electric

shock.

Charge only with RIDGID

18V battery chargers. Use of other chargers may result in personal injury,

fire, or damage.

Do not charge in an area of extreme heat or cold. It will work best at normal room temperature. To

reduce the risk of serious personal injury, do not store outside or in vehicles.

                Une pile endommagée risque d’exploser. Éliminer immédiatement toute pile endommagée, selon une méthode appropriée. Les piles peuvent exploser en présence d’une source d’allumage, telle qu’une veilleuse. Pour réduire les risques de blessures graves, ne jamais utiliser un appareil sans fil, quel qu’il soit, en présence d’une flamme vive. En explosant, une pile peut projeter des débris et des produits chimiques.

REGLAS DE SEGURIDAD  No se necesita conectar a una toma de corriente las herramientas de baterías; por lo tanto, siempre están en condiciones de funcionamiento. Esté consciente de los posibles peligros cuando no esté usando la herramienta de baterías o cuando esté cambiando los accesorios de la misma. Con el cumplimiento de esta regla se reduce el riesgo de una descarga eléctrica, incendio o lesión corporal seria.  No coloque herramientas de baterías ni las baterías mismas cerca del fuego o del calor.

FUNCIONAMIENTO PAQUETES DE BATERÍAS DE IÓNES DE LITIO La potencia producida por las baterías de iones de litio es sin desvanecimientos durante todo el tiempo de funcionamiento. Las herramientas que emplean baterías de iones de litio no pierden potencia gradualmente debido a la disminución de la carga de la batería. Por el contrario, la potencia de la batería caerá de lleno a cero una vez que la carga completa de la misma haya sido consumida. Al ocurrir esto, es necesario recargar la batería.

MANTENIMIENTO BATERÍAS Las baterías están diseñadas para proporcionar una larga vida de servicio sin problemas. No obstante, como todas las baterías, finalmente se acaban. No desarme el paquete de baterías para tratar de cambiar las baterías. El manejo de estas baterías, especialmente cuando se traen puestos anillos y joyas, puede causar quemaduras serias.
