• Do not use a battery pack or tool that is
damaged or modified. Damaged or modified
batteries may exhibit unpredictable behaviour
resulting in fire, explosion or risk of injury.
• Do not expose a battery pack or tool to fire or
excessive temperature. Exposure to fire or
temperature above 130 °C (265 °F) may cause
explosion.
• Follow all charging instructions and do not
charge the battery pack or tool outside the
temperature range specified in the
instructions. Charging improperly or at
temperatures outside the specified range may
damage the battery and increase the risk of fire.
• Avoid accidental operation. Make sure that
the machine is switched off before
connecting the battery and before picking up
or carrying the lamp. Carrying the machine with
your finger on the switch or energising machines
that have the switch on invites accidents.
• Remove battery packs from the machine...
- ...before making any adjustments, changing
tools, maintenance or cleaning.
- ...if the operator moves away from the tool.
- ...prior to the removal of blockages.
- ...after touching a foreign body in order to check
the tool for damage.

starts to vibrate excessively.
