b) Use power tools only with specifically
designated battery packs. Use of any
other battery packs may create a risk
of injury and fire.
c) 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.
d) Under abusive conditions, liquid may
be ejected from the battery; avoid con-
tact. 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.
e) Do not use a battery pack or tool that
is damaged or modified. Damaged or
modified batteries may exhibit unpre-
dictable behaviour resulting in fire,
explosion or risk of injury.
Special safety instructions.
Hold the power tool by the insulated gripping
surface when performing operations where
the application tool could contact hidden
wires. Contact with a "live" wire will also
make exposed metal parts of the power tool
"live" and shock the operator.
Use clamps or another practical method to
secure and support the work piece on a sta-
ble surface. When holding the work piece
only by hand or against your body, it
remains in an unstable position, which can
lead to loss of control.
Do not use accessories which are not specif-
ically designed and recommended by the
power tool manufacturer. Safe operation is
not ensured merely because an accessory
fits your power tool.
Grasp/hold the power tool in such a safe
manner that your body never comes in con-
tact with the application tool, particularly
when working with application tools point-
ing toward the gripping area, such as with
saw blades or cutting tools. Touching sharp
cutting edges or edges can lead to injury.
f) Do not expose a battery pack or tool to
fire or excessive temperature. Expo-
sure to fire or temperature above
130 °C may cause explosion.
g) Follow all charging instructions and do
not charge the battery pack or tool
outside the temperature range speci-
fied in the instructions. Charging
improperly or at temperatures outside
the specified range may damage the
battery and increase the risk of fire.
6) Service
a) Have your power tool serviced by a
qualified repair person using only
identical replacement parts. This will
ensure that the safety of the power
tool is maintained.
b) Never service damaged battery packs.
Service of battery packs should only
be performed by the manufacturer or
authorized service providers.
Wear personal protective equipment.
Depending on application, use a face shield,
safety goggles or safety glasses. As appro-
priate, wear dust mask, hearing protectors,
gloves and workshop apron capable of stop-
ping small abrasive or work piece frag-
ments. The eye protection must be capable
of stopping flying debris generated by vari-
ous operations. The dust mask or respirator
must be capable of filtrating particles gener-
ated by your operation. Prolonged expo-
sure to high intensity noise may cause
hearing loss.
Do not direct the power tool against your-
self, other persons or animals. Danger of
injury from sharp or hot application tools.
Do not rivet or screw any name-plates or
signs onto the power tool. If the insulation is
damaged, protection against an electric
shock will be ineffective.
