Battery tools use and care
a) Recharge only with charger specified by the manufacturer. A charger that is sutiable
for one type of battery pack may create a risk of fire when used with another battery
pack.
b) Use power tools only with specifically designated battery packs.
Use of any other battery packs may create a risk of injury and fire
c) When battery pack is not in use, keep it away from other metal objects, like paper
clips, coins, keys, nails, screws and other small metal objects that can make a
connection from one terminal to another. Shorting the battery terminals together may
cause a burns or a fire.
d) Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from the battery; avoid contact. If
contact accidentally occurs, flush with water. If liquid contact eyes, additionally
seek medical help. Liquid ejected from the battery may cause irritation or burns
WARNING: When used in Australia or New Zealand, it is recommended that this tool is ALWAYS
supplied via Residual Current Device (RCD) with a rated residual current of 30mA or less.

Battery and charger safety features
The battery and charger are fitted with a number of safety features which may be triggered
during charging or operation:
•
Over-charge protection: Charger automatically switches off when the battery has reached
full charge capacity, protecting the internal components of the battery
•
Over-discharge protection: Prevents the battery from discharging beyond the
recommended lowest safety voltage
•
Over-heat protection: Sensor switches off if the battery becomes too hot during operation.
This can happen if the tool is overloaded or being used for extended periods of time. Up to
30 minutes cooling time may be required depending on the ambient temperature
•
Overload protection: Battery temporarily stops if it is overloaded or the maximum current
draw is exceeded, protecting the internal components. The battery will resume normal
operation when the current draw returns to a normal safe level. This may take a few
seconds
•
Short circuit protection: The battery will stop working immediately if a short circuit occurs,
this prevents damage to the battery or tool
