■ Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry, clean and free from
oil and grease. Slippery handles and grasping surfaces do not
allow for safe handling and control of the tool in unexpected
situations.
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 terminals
together may cause burns or a fire.
■ Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from the
battery; avoid contact. If contact accidentally occurs, flush
with water. If liquid contacts eyes, additionally seek medical
help. Liquid ejected from the battery 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
temperature. Exposure to fire or 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.
