E N G L I S H
•
DO NOT splash or immerse in water or other liquids.
•
Do not store or use the tool and battery pack in locations where the temperature may reach or exceed 40 ˚C
(104 ˚F) (such as outside sheds or metal buildings in summer).
•
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.
•
Do not discard batteries into water.
WARNING: Never attempt to open the battery pack for any reason. If battery pack case is cracked or
damaged, do not insert into charger. Do not crush, drop or damage battery pack. Do not use a battery
pack or charger that has received a sharp blow, been dropped, run over or damaged in any way (i.e.,
pierced with a nail, hit with a hammer, stepped on). Electric shock or electrocution may result. Dama-
ged battery packs should be returned to service centre for recycling.
WARNING: Fire hazard. Do not store or carry the battery pack so that metal objects can contact
exposed battery terminals. When transporting individual battery packs, make sure that the battery
terminals are protected and well insulated from materials that could contact them and cause a short
circuit.
CAUTION: When not in use, place tool on its side on a stable surface where it will not cause a tripping
or falling hazard. Some tools with large battery packs will stand upright on the battery pack but may
be easily knocked over.

1.10 SPECIFIC SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR LITHIUM-ION (LI-ION)

1. Do not incinerate the battery pack even if it is severely damaged or is completely worn out. The battery
pack can explode in a fire. Toxic fumes and materials are created when lithium-ion battery packs are burned.
2. If battery contents come into contact with the skin, immediately wash area with mild soap and water. If
battery liquid gets into the eye, rinse water over the open eye for 15 minutes or until irritation ceases. If medical
attention is needed, the battery electrolyte is composed of a mixture of liquid organic carbonates and lithium
salts.
3. Contents of opened battery cells may cause respiratory irritation. Provide fresh air. If symptoms persists,
seek medical attention.
WARNING: Burn hazard. Battery liquid may be flammable if exposed to spark or flame.

1.11 RESIDUAL RISKS

In spite of the application of the relevant safety regulations and the implementation of safety devices, certain
residual risks cannot be avoided. These are:
− Impairment of hearing
− Risk of personal injury due flying particles
− Risk of burns due to accessories becoming hot during operation.
− Risk of personal injury due to prolonged use.
