General Safety Directions

Caution! When using
power tools, observe the fol-
lowing basic safety measures
for the prevention of electric
shocks and the risk of injury
and fire.
Please read all these instruc-
tions before using this electric
tool and please keep the
safety instructions.
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 bat-
tery 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 assistance.
Leaking battery fluid may cause
skin irritations 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 temperatures. Fire
or temperatures over 130 °C
can cause an explosion.
g) Follow all instructions for
charging and never charge the
battery or the battery-powered
tool outside the temperature
range stated in the operating
instructions. Incorrect charging
or charging outside the permit-
ted temperature range may de-
stroy the battery and increase
the risk of fire.
Service
• Never repair damaged batter-
ies. All battery repairs should
be carried out by the manufac-
turer or authorised customer
service centres only.
Special safety directions for
battery-operated tools
a) Ensure that the device is
switched off before inserting
the battery. Inserting a bat-
tery into a power tool that is
switched on may result in ac-
cidents.
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.
