glass, nails, wire, or string that can be
blown a considerable distance by high
velocity air.
Injuries may be caused or aggravated by
prolonged use of a tool. When using any
tool for prolonged periods, ensure you take
regular breaks.
BATTERY TOOL USE AND CARE
Recharge only with the charger specified by
the manufacturer. A charger that is suitable
for one type of battery pack may create a
risk of fire when used with another battery
pack.
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.
