5) CAREFUL HANDLING AND
USE OF BATTERY DEVICES
a) Charge the batteries only
in chargers that are rec-
ommended by the manu-
facturer. Risk of fi re if a
charger that is suitable for a
specifi c type of battery is used
with other batteries.
b) In the power tools, use
only the batteries de-
signed for the purpose. The
use of other batteries may result
in injuries and risk of fi re.
c) Keep the unused battery
away from paper clips,
coins, keys, nails, screws
and other small metal ob-
jects, which could cause
bridging of the contacts. A
short circuit between the battery
contacts may cause burns or
fi re.
d) If used incorrectly, liquid
may leak from the bat-
tery. Avoid contact with
this. In the event of ac-
cidental contact, rinse off
with water. If the liquid gets
into eyes, seek medical assis-
tance. Leaking battery fl uid may
cause skin irritations or burns.

e) Do not use damaged or
altered batteries. Damaged
or altered batteries can be un-
predictable and lead to fi re,
explosion or risk of injury.
f) Do not expose batteries to
fi re or elevated tempera-
tures. Fire or temperatures over
130 °C can cause an explo-
sion.
g) Follow all instructions
for charging and never
charge the battery or the
battery-powered tool
outside the temperature
range stated in the oper-
ating instructions. Incorrect
charging or charging outside
the permitted temperature range
may destroy the battery and in-
crease the risk of fi re.
6) SERVICE
a) Have your power tool ser-
viced by a qualifi ed repair
person using only identi-
cal replacement parts. This
will ensure that the safety of the
power tool is maintained.
b) Never repair damaged
batteries. All battery repairs
should be carried out by the
manufacturer or authorised cus-
tomer service centres only.
