fect the power tool’s operation.

If damaged, have the power tool

repaired before use. Many accidents

are caused by poorly maintained power

tools.

f) Keep cutting tools sharp and

clean. Properly maintained cutting tools

with sharp cutting edges are less Iikely to

bind and are easier to control.

g) Use the power tool, accessories

and tool bits etc. in accordance

with these instructions, taking into

account the working conditions

and the work to be performed.

Use of the power tool for operations dif-

ferent from those intended could result in

a hazardous situation.

5) CAREFUL HANDLING AND USE OF

BATTERY DEVICES

a) Charge the batteries only in charg-

ers that are recommended by the

manufacturer. Risk of fire if a charger

that is suitable for a specific type of bat-

tery is used with other batteries.

b) In the power tools, use only the

batteries designed for the pur-

pose. The use of other batteries may

result in injuries and risk of fire.

c) 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 battery contacts may

cause burns or fire.

d) 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.

6) SERVICE

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.

7) SPECIAL SAFETY DIRECTIONS FOR

BATTERY-OPERATED TOOLS

a) Ensure that the device is switched

off before inserting the battery.

Inserting a battery into a power tool that is

switched on may result in accidents.

b) Recharge the batteries indoors

only because the battery charger

is designed for indoor use only.

c) To reduce the electric shock haz-

ard, unplug the battery charger

from the mains before cleaning

the charger.

d) Do not subject the battery to

strong sunlight over long periods

and do not leave it on a heater.

Heat damages the battery and there is a

risk of explosion.

e) Allow a hot battery to cool before

charging.

f) Do not open up the battery and

avoid mechanical damage to the

battery. Risk of short circuit and fumes

may be emitted that irritate the respiratory

tract. Ensure fresh air and seek medical as-

sistance in the event of discomfort.

g) Do not use non-rechargeable bat-

teries!
