Harbor Freight Tools for a replacement.
9. The warnings, precautions, and instructions

It must be understood by the operator that

which cannot be built into this product,
but must be supplied by the operator.
Battery tool use and care
1. recharge only with 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.
2. use power tools only with specifically
designated battery packs. Use of any other
battery packs may create a risk of injury and fire.
3. When 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.
4. under abusive conditions, liquid may be
ejected from the battery; avoid contact.
if contact accidentally occurs, flush with water.
if liquid contacts eyes, additionally seek
medical help. Liquid ejected from the
battery may cause irritation or burns.
5. Do not use a battery pack or tool that is
damaged or modified. Damaged or modified
batteries may exhibit unpredictable behavior
resulting in fire, explosion or risk of injury.
6. Do not expose a battery pack or tool to fire
or excessive temperature. Exposure to fire or
temperature above 140°F may cause explosion.
7. Follow all charging instructions and do not
charge the battery pack or tool outside of the
temperature range specified in the instructions.
Charging improperly or at temperatures
outside of the specified range may damage
the battery and increase the risk of fire.
8. Have servicing performed by a qualified
repair person using only identical
replacement parts. This will ensure that
the safety of the product is maintained.
9. Do not modify or attempt to repair the tool
or the battery pack except as indicated
in the instructions for use and care.
10. The battery Charger gets hot during
use. The Charger’s heat can build up to
unsafe levels and create a fire hazard if
it does not receive adequate ventilation,
due to an electrical fault, or if it is used in a
hot environment. Do not place the Charger on a
flammable surface. Do not obstruct any vents on
the Charger. especially avoid placing the
charger on carpets and rugs; they are not only
flammable, but they also obstruct vents under
the charger. Place the Charger on a stable, solid,
nonflammable surface (such as a stable metal
workbench or concrete floor) at least 1 foot away
from all flammable objects, such as drapes or walls.
Keep a fire extinguisher and a smoke detector in
the area. Frequently monitor the Charger and
Battery Pack while charging.
Service
Have your tool serviced by a qualified repair person using only identical replacement parts.
This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.
