Battery tool use and care
1. Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure
the switch is in the off-position before
connecting to battery pack, picking up
or carrying the machine. Carrying the
machine with your finger on the switch or
energizing machine that have the switch on
invites accidents.
2. Disconnect the battery pack from the
machine before making any adjust-
ments, changing accessories, or storing
machine. Such preventive safety measures
reduce the risk of starting the machine
accidentally.
Recharge only with the charger specified
3.
by the manufacturer. A charger that is suit-
able for one type of battery pack may create
a risk of fire when used with another battery
pack.
4. Use machines only with specifically des-
ignated battery packs. Use of any other
battery packs may create a risk of injury and
fire.
5. 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 terminals together may
cause burns or a fire.
6. Under abusive conditions, liquid may be
ejected from the battery; avoid contact.
If contact accidentally occurs, flush with
water. If liquid contacts eyes, seek med-
ical help. Liquid ejected from the battery
may cause irritation or burns.
Do not use a battery pack or machine
7.
that is damaged or modified. Damaged
or modified batteries may exhibit unpre-
dictable behaviour resulting in fire,
explosion or risk of injury.
8. Do not expose a battery pack or machine
to fire or excessive temperature.
Exposure to fire or temperature above
130°C (265°F) may cause explosion.
9. Follow all charging instructions and do
not charge the battery pack or machine
outside of the temperature range speci-
fied in the instructions. Charging improp-
erly or at temperatures outside of the spec-
ified range may damage the battery and
increase the risk of fire.
10. Have servicing performed by a quali-
fied repair person using only identical
replacement parts. This will ensure that
the safety of the product is maintained.
11. Do not modify or attempt to repair the
machine or the battery pack except as
indicated in the instructions for use and
care.
