c) When not in use, keep
batteries away from pa-
per clips, coins, keys,
nails, screws or other
small metal objects that
could cause the contacts
to be bridged. A short circuit
between battery contacts can
result in burns or a fire.
d) When misused, fluid may
leak from the battery.
Avoid any contact with
it. On accidental contact,
wash in running water.
If the fluid comes into
contact with the eyes,
seek medical assistance
also. Leaking battery fluid can
cause skin irritation or burns.
e) Do not use damaged or
altered batteries. Damaged
or altered batteries can be
unpredictable and lead to fire,
explosion or risk of injury.
f) Do not expose batteries
to fire or elevated tempe-
ratures. Fire or temperatures
over 130 °C can cause an ex-
plosion.
g) Follow all instructions for
charging and never char-
ge the battery or the bat-
tery-powered tool outside
the temperature range
stated in the operating in-
structions. Incorrect charging
or charging outside the permit-
ted temperature range may de-
stroy the battery and increase
the risk of fire.

6) SERVICE
a) Only have qualified per-
sonnel repair your power
tool and only use original
spare parts. This ensures
the safety of the device is
maintained.
b) Never repair damaged
batteries. All battery repairs
should be carried out by the
manufacturer or authorised cu-
stomer service centres only.
7) FURTHER SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
a) 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
cord. Contact with a live wire can also
cause a charge in metal parts of the
device and result in an electric shock.
8) SPECIAL SAFETY DIRECTIONS FOR
BATTERY-OPERATED TOOLS
a) To reduce the electric shock haz-
ard, unplug the battery charger
from the mains before cleaning
the charger.
b) Do not subject the cordless screw-
driver to strong sunlight over long
periods and do not leave it on a
heater. Heat damages the battery and
there is a risk of explosion.
c) Allow a hot cordless screwdriver
to cool before charging.
d) Do not open up the cordless
screwdriver and avoid mechani-
cal damage to the battery. Risk
of short circuit and fumes may be
emitted that irritate the respira-
tory tract. Ensure fresh air and seek
