Water exposure increases the risk of electric shock and tool damage. Do not use it.

  1. Immediately remove the battery pack.
  2. Wipe the tool down thoroughly with a dry cloth.
  3. Do not reconnect the battery or attempt to use the tool.
  4. Let the tool dry in a warm, dry place for at least 24-48 hours. Consider using a fan to circulate air.

If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable in the future, you must plug the charger into a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) protected supply. This reduces the risk of electric shock.

Heads up: Do not expose power tools or battery chargers to rain or snow. Water entering a power tool can cause permanent damage and serious shock hazard.
