■
Use power tools only with specifically designated
battery packs. Use of any other battery packs
may create a risk of injury and fire.
■
When battery pack is not in use, keep it away
from other metal objects, like paper clips,
coins, keys, nails, screws or other small
metal objects that can make a connection
from one terminal to another. Shorting the
battery pack terminals together may cause
burns or a fire.
■
Under abusive conditions, liquid may be
ejected from the battery pack; avoid contact.
If contact accidentally occurs, flush with
water. If liquid contacts eyes, additionally
seek medical help. Liquid ejected from the
battery pack may cause irritation or burns.
■
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 temperatures. Exposure to fire
or excessive temperature above 130°C 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.

Operating similar tools nearby increases
both the risk of hearing injury and the
potential for other persons to enter your

reduces the ability to hear warnings (shouts

area. Do not get distracted and always
concentrate on the task.
