Any work with power tools requires good judgement and careful preparation. Some manufactures have designed specific power tools for use in some wet conditions including rain and high humidity. To avoid misuse and reduce risk of injury, read and understand manufacturer warnings and guidance before beginning any work in wet conditions.
Ensure the tool, battery, and charger are recommended by the manufacturer to be used together in rain. Just because one component of the system, such as the battery, is marked as suitable for use in rainy conditions does not mean all components that can be connected together are a suitable combination for rainy conditions. Reading and understanding the manufacturer’s recommendations, warnings, and instructions is essential to avoid risks such as injury, fire, or electrical shock.
Following the manufacturer’s warning and instruction and these important guidelines and best practices can help ensure the safe exposure or use of lithium-ion battery tools in rain.
