6) SERVICE
•
Have your power tool serviced by
a qualified repair person using
only identical replacement parts.
This will ensure that the safety of the
power tool is maintained.
7) SPECIAL SAFETY DIRECTIONS
FOR BATTERY-OPERATED
TOOLS
a) 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.
b) Recharge the batteries indoors only
because the battery charger is de-
signed for indoor use only.
c) To reduce the electric shock hazard,
unplug the battery charger from the
mains before cleaning the charger.
d) Do not subject the battery 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.
e) Allow a hot battery to cool before
charging.
f)
Do not open up the battery and avoid
mechanical damage to the battery.
Risk of short circuit and fumes may be
emitted that irritate the respiratory tract.
Ensure fresh air and seek medical assis-
tance in the event of discomfort.
g) Do not use non-rechargeable
batteries!
