Handling and proper use of battery-powered tools
a) Make sure the tool is switched off before inserting the
battery. Installing a battery into a power tool that is
switched on can cause accidents.
b) To charge the batteries, only use battery chargers
recommended by the manufacturer. Battery chargers are
generally specific to the type of battery; if use other types,
there is a risk of fire hazard.
c) Only use the special batteries provided for your tool. Using
other batteries can cause injury or constitute a fire hazard.
d) Keep the unused battery away from office clips, coins, keys,
nails, screws or other small metal objects that could cause
a short circuit in the contacts. A short circuit between the
battery contacts can result in combustion or fire.
e) Check that the battery is in good conditions and that there
are no signs of damage. Do not use the machine with a
damaged or worn battery.
