Safety notices for the charger
m WARNING! Carefully read all safety notices
and instructions. Failure to comply with safety no-
tices and instructions can cause electric shock, fire
and/or severe injuries.
Store all safety notices and instructions for fu-
ture reference.
The term "power tool" used in the safety instructions
refers to mains-powered tools (with a mains cable)
and to battery-powered tools (without a mains cable).
Work area safety
• Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or
dark areas invite accidents.
• Do not operate power tools in explosive atmos-
pheres, such as in the presence of flammable
Iiquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks
which may ignite the dust or fumes.
• Keep children and bystanders away while op-
erating a power tool. Distractions can cause you
to lose control.
Electrical safety
• The electrical tool's connection plug must fit
into the socket. The plug may not be modified
in any way. Do not use an adaptor plug togeth-
er with earthed electric tools. Unmodified plugs
and suitable sockets reduce the risk of an electric
shock
• Avoid body contact with earthed surfaces,
such as pipes, heaters, ovens and refrigera-
tors. There is an increased risk of electric shock
if your body is earthed.
• Keep electric tools away from rain and mois-
ture. Water entering an electric tool increases the
risk of an electric shock.
• Do not use the cable for another purpose, for
example, carrying or hanging the electric tool
or pulling the plug out of the socket. Keep the
cable away from heat, oil, sharp edges or mov-
ing device parts. Damaged or coiled cables in-
crease the risk of an electric shock.
