in the rain.
13. When storing the machine, avoid direct sun-
light and rain, and store it in a place where it

Battery tool use and care
1. 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.
2. Use power tools only with specifically desig-
nated battery packs. Use of any other battery
packs may create a risk of injury and fire.
3. 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 termi-
nals together may cause burns or a fire.
4. Under abusive conditions, liquid may be
ejected from the battery; avoid contact. If con-
tact accidentally occurs, flush with water. If
liquid contacts eyes, additionally seek medical
help. Liquid ejected from the battery may cause
irritation or burns.
5. Do not use a battery pack or tool that is dam-
aged or modified. Damaged or modified batteries
may exhibit unpredictable behaviour resulting in
fire, explosion or risk of injury.
6. Do not expose a battery pack or tool to fire or
excessive temperature. Exposure to fire or tem-
perature above 130 °C may cause explosion.
7. Follow all charging instructions and do not
charge the battery pack or tool outside the
temperature range specified in the instruc-
tions. Charging improperly or at temperatures
outside the specified range may damage the
battery and increase the risk of fire.
Electrical and battery safety
Do not dispose of the battery(ies) in a fire.
1.
The cell may explode. Check with local codes for
possible special disposal instructions.
2. Do not open or mutilate the battery(ies).
Released electrolyte is corrosive and may cause
damage to the eyes or skin. It may be toxic if
swallowed.
3. Do not charge battery in rain, or in wet locations.
4. Do not charge the battery outdoors.
Do not handle charger, including charger plug,
5.
and charger terminals with wet hands.
6. Do not replace the battery in the rain.
7. Do not wet the terminal of battery with liquid
such as water, or submerge the battery. Do not
leave the battery in the rain, nor charge, use,
or store the battery in a damp or wet place. If
the terminal gets wet or liquid enters inside of bat-
tery, the battery may be short circuited and there is
a risk of overheat, fire, or explosion.
After removing the battery from the machine or
8.
charger, be sure to attach the battery cover to
the battery and store it in a dry place.
Do not replace the battery with wet hands.
9.
10. Avoid dangerous environment. Don't use the
machine in damp or wet locations or expose it
to rain. Water entering the machine will increase
the risk of electric shock.
11. If the battery cartridge gets wet, drain the
water inside and then wipe it with a dry cloth.
Dry the battery cartridge completely in a dry
place before use.
