Hold the power tool by insulated gripping
surfaces, when performing an operation where
the fastener may contact hidden wiring.
Fasteners contacting a "live" wire may make
exposed metal parts of the power tool "live" and
could give the operator an electric shock.
Remove the battery pack from the machine before
making any adjustments, changing tools,
maintaining or cleaning.
Make sure that the tool is switched off before fitting
the battery pack.
Ensure that the spot where you wish to work is free
of power cables, gas lines or water pipes (e.g.
using a metal detector).
Secure the workpiece to prevent slipping or rotation
(e.g. by securing with screw clamps).
Protect battery packs from water and
moisture!
Do not expose battery packs to fire!
Do not use faulty or deformed battery packs!
Do not open battery packs!
Do not touch or short circuit battery pack contacts!
A slightly acidic, flammable fluid may leak
from defective Li-ion battery packs!
If battery fluid leaks out and comes into
contact with your skin, rinse immediately
with plenty of water. If battery fluid leaks out
and comes into contact with your eyes, wash them
with clean water and seek medical attention
immediately!
If the machine is defective, remove the battery pack
from the machine.
