specific type of battery with a different battery.
b. Only use the correct batteries in the power
tools. The use of different batteries may lead
to injury and a risk of fire.
c. When the battery is not in use, keep it away
from paper clips, coins, keys, nails, screws and
other small metal objects which could bridge
the contacts. A short circuit between the battery
contacts may pose a risk of burns or fire.
d. Fluid may leak out of the battery if it is used
incorrectly. Avoid contact with the fluid. Rinse
with water any areas which accidentally come
into contact with the fluid. If fluid gets into the
eyes, also consult a doctor. Leaking battery
fluid can cause skin irritation or burns.
e. Do not use damaged or modified batteries.
Batteries which are damaged or which have
been modified may behave unpredictably, which
could lead to fire, explosion or the risk of injury.
f. Do not expose a battery to fire or excessive
temperatures. Fire or temperatures exceeding
130 °C may cause an explosion.
g. Follow all instructions on charging and never
charge the battery or the cordless tool outside
the temperature range stated in the operating
instructions. Incorrect charging or charging
outside the permitted temperature range can
destroy the battery and increase the risk of fire.
6 SERVICE
a. Only ever have your power tool repaired by
qualified specialist staff and always use orig-
inal spare parts. This ensures that the safety
of the power tool is maintained.
b. Never perform maintenance on damaged
batteries. Maintenance on batteries should
only ever be performed by the manufacturer or
authorised customer service centres.
c. Only use original parts for repairs and main-
tenance. The use of incompatible accessories
or spare parts can result in electric shocks or
other injuries.
2.2 Machine-specific safety notices for cord-
less drills
– Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces,
when performing an operation where the
cutting accessory or fastener may contact
hidden wiring. Cutting accessory or fasteners
contacting a "live" wire may make exposed
metal parts of the power tool "live" and could
give the operator an electric shock.
– Use suitable detectors to determine if utility
lines are hidden in the work area or call
the local utility company for assistance.
Contact with electric lines can lead to fire and
electric shock. Damaging a gas line can lead
to explosion. Penetrating a water line causes
property damage or may cause an electric
shock.
– Wear suitable protection: such as ear protec-
tion, safety goggles, a dust mask for work
which generates dust, and protective gloves
when working with raw materials and when
changing tools.
CAUTION! Power tool can block and
cause sudden kickback! Switch off im-
mediately!
– Do not lock the on/off switch permanently!
2.3 Battery pack and charger safety instruc-
tions

Children are not allowed to use or play with
the machine.
– Do not open the battery pack or the charger!
– Prevent metal parts (e.g. metal chips) or fluids
from entering the charger!
– Do not use power adapters or battery packs
from other manufacturers to operate the
cordless power tool. Do not use any charger
from other manufacturers for charging
the battery pack. The use of impermissible
accessories mayresult in electric shock and /
or serious accidents!
– Protect the battery pack from excessive heat
> 50 °C or constant heat sources such as sun-
light or naked flames!
– Never use water to extinguish burning li-ion
battery packs! Use sand or a fire blanket.
