Using and handling the cordless power tool

• Recharge the batteries only with the chargers specified by the manufacturer. A charger that is suitable for a certain type of battery may present a risk of fire when used with other types of battery.
• Use only the specified batteries in power tools. Use of any other batteries may create a risk of injury and fire.
• 
  When the battery is not in use, keep it away from paper clips, coins, keys, nails, screws and other small metal objects that could cause bridging between the terminals. A short circuit between the battery terminals may cause burns or a fire.
• 
  Liquid may leak from the battery if used incorrectly. Avoid contact with the liquid. If contact accidentally occurs, flush with water. If the liquid contacts the eyes, also seek medical attention. Liquid escaping from the battery can cause skin irritation or burns.
• Do not use damaged or modified batteries. Damaged or modified batteries may behave unpredictably and lead to fires, explosions or risk of injury.
• Do not expose batteries to fire or excessive temperatures. Fires or temperatures over 130°C (265°F) may cause an explosion.
• Follow all instructions on battery charging and never charge the battery or the battery-powered tool outside the temperature range stated in the operating instructions. Incorrect charging or charging outside the approved temperature range may destroy the battery and increase the risk of fire.

Careful handling and use of batteries
