• When not in use,
keep batteries
away from paper
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.
• 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.
Service
• Have your power
tool serviced by
a qualified repair
person using only
identical replace-
ment parts. This
will ensure that the
safety of the power
tool is maintained.
Special safety di-
rections for battery-
operated tools
• 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.
• Recharge the batteries
indoors only because
the battery charger is
designed for indoor
use only.
• To reduce the electric
shock hazard, unplug
the battery charger
from the mains before
cleaning the charger.
• Do not subject the bat-
tery 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.
• Allow a hot battery to
cool before charging.
• Do not open up the
battery and avoid
mechanical damage
to the battery. Risk of
short circuit and fumes
may be emitted that irrit-
ate the respiratory tract.
Ensure fresh air and
seek medical assistance
in the event of discom-
fort.
