After Use - Black & Decker Powerful Solutions GLC13 Instructions Manual

Do not expose appliance to rain or wet conditions. Water
u
entering a appliance will increase the risk of electric shock.
Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying,
u
pulling or unplugging the appliance. Keep cord away from
heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts.
Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of electric
shock.
Where appropriate. When operating an appliance outdoors,
u
use an extension cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of a cord
suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.
If operating an appliance in a damp location is
u
unavoidable, use a residual current device (RCD)
protected supply. Use of an RCD reduces the risk of
electric shock.
Battery tool use and care (cordless appliance only)
Recharge only with the charger specified by the
u
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 appliances only with specifically designated battery
u
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
u
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
u
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.
