• Only use battery chargers
recommended by the
manufacturer to recharge
batteries. An inadequate
battery charger may cause
electric shock, overheating
or corrosive liquid to
leak from the battery.
• Use only batteries specifically
designed for your power tool.
The use of other batteries may
cause injuries and fire risks.
• Make sure that the machine
is switched off before inserting
the battery. Inserting a
battery in a machine which is
switched on can cause a fire.
• Keep all unused batteries at
a distance from paper clips,
coins, keys, nails, screws
or other small metal objects
as contact with the same
can cause short circuits.
Short circuits between
battery contacts can lead
to explosion or fires.
• Never use the battery
charger in environments in
the presence of vapours,
flammable substances or on
easily flammable surfaces
such as paper, fabric,
etc. The battery charger
heats up during recharging
and may cause a fire.
• When transporting batteries,
do not allow the contacts ever
to come into contact with each
other and never use metal
containers to transport them.
2.7 ENVIRONMENTAL

machine at reasonable times of
the day only (not early morning
or late evening when the noise
could cause disturbance).
• Scrupulously comply with local
regulations for the disposal
of packaging, deteriorated
parts or any elements with
a strong environmental
impact; this waste must not
be disposed of as normal
waste, it must be separated
and taken to specified waste
disposal centres where the
material will be recycled.
• Comply with local
regulations for the disposal
of waste materials.
• When the machine is
withdrawn from service, do not
dump it in the environment,
but take it to a waste disposal
facility in accordance with the
local regulations in force.
Do not throw electrical
equipment away with
domestic waste. According
to the European Directive
2012/19/EU on electrical and
electronic equipment waste and
its implementation in compliance
with national standards, old
electrical equipment must be
collected separately, for eco-
compatible recycling. If electrical
equipment is disposed of in
a landfill or in the ground, the
harmful substances can reach
the water table and enter the
food chain, damaging your
