avoid injury to people and
damage to property, the fol-
lowing safety information
must be observed and users
must familiarise themselves
with all operating parts.
Electrical Safety:
•
The plug of the charger must fit
into the socket. The plug must
not be modified in any way.
Do not use any adapter plugs
together with electric tools that
have a protective earth. Un-
modified plugs and matching
sockets reduce the risk of elec-
tric shock.
•
Avoid body contact with
earthed surfaces such as
pipes, radiators, cookers and
refrigerators. There is an in-
creased risk of electric shock if
your body is earthed.
•
Do not expose electric tools
to rain or wet conditions. The
penetration of water into an
electric tool increases the risk
of electric shock.
Careful handling an use of bat-
tery devices:
•
Charge the batteries only in
chargers that are recommend-
ed by the manufacturer. Risk of
fire if a charger that is suitable
for a specific type of battery is
used with other batteries.
•
In the power tools, use only
the batteries designed for the
purpose. The use of other bat-
teries may result in injuries and
risk of fire.
•
Keep the unused battery away
from paper clips, coins, keys,
nails, screws and other small
metal objects, which could
cause bridging of the contacts.
A short circuit between the bat-
tery contacts may cause burns
or fire.
•
If used incorrectly, liquid may
leak from the battery. Avoid
contact with this. In the event
of accidental contact, rinse off
with water. If the liquid gets into
eyes, seek medical assistance.
Leaking battery fluid may
cause skin irritations or burns.
Special safety directions for
battery-operated tools:
•
Ensure that the device is
switched off before inserting
the battery. Inserting a bat-
tery into a power tool that is
switched on may result in ac-
cidents.
•
Recharge the batteries in-
doors only because the battery
charger is designed for indoor
use only. Risk of electric shock.
•
To reduce the electric shock
hazard, unplug the battery
charger from the mains before
cleaning the charger.
•
Do not subject the battery to
strong sunlight over long pe-
riods and do not leave it on
a heater. Heat damages the
battery and there is a risk of
explosion.
•
Allow a hot battery to cool be-
