g) Use the power tool, accessories
and tool bits etc. in accordance
with these instructions, tak-
ing into account the working
conditions and the work to be
performed. Use of the power tool for
operations different from those intended
could result in a hazardous situation.
5) CAREFUL HANDLING AND USE
OF BATTERY DEVICES
a) Charge the batteries only in
chargers that are recommended
by the manufacturer. Risk of fire if a
charger that is suitable for a specific type
of battery is used with other batteries.
b) In the power tools, use only the
batteries designed for the pur-
pose. The use of other batteries may
result in injuries and risk of fire.
c) Keep the unused battery away
from paper clips, coins, keys,
nails, screws and other small
metal objects, which could
cause bridging of the contacts.
A short circuit between the battery
contacts may cause burns or fire.
d) If used incorrectly, liquid may
leak from the battery. Avoid
contact with this. In the event
of accidental contact, rinse off
with water. If the liquid gets
into eyes, seek medical as-
sistance. Leaking battery fluid may
cause skin irritations or burns.
6) SERVICE
Have your power tool serviced
by a qualified repair person us-
ing only identical replacement
parts. This will ensure that the safety
of the power tool is maintained.
7) SPECIAL SAFETY DIRECTIONS
FOR BATTERY-OPERATED TOOLS
a) Ensure that the device is
switched off before inserting
the battery. Inserting a battery into
a power tool that is switched on may
result in accidents.
b) Recharge the batteries indoors
only because the battery charger
is designed for indoor use only.
c) To reduce the electric shock
hazard, unplug the battery
charger from the mains before
cleaning the charger.
d) Do not subject the battery to
strong sunlight over long pe-
riods and do not leave it on a
heater. Heat damages the battery
and there is a risk of explosion.
e) Allow a hot battery to cool be-
fore charging.
f) Do not open up the battery and
avoid mechanical damage to the
battery. Risk of short circuit and fumes
may be emitted that irritate the respirato-
ry tract. Ensure fresh air and seek medi-
cal assistance in the event of discomfort.
g) Use the additional handles de-
livered with the appliance. The
loss of control can result in injuries.
h) Hold the appliance by the insu-
lated gripping surfaces when
performing work in which the
tool may come into contact with
hidden wiring. Contact with a live
wire can also cause a charge in metal
parts of the appliance and result in an
electric shock.
i)
Hold the device by the insulated
gripping surfaces when per-
forming work in which the cut-
ting tool may come into contact
with hidden wiring or its own
