c) When the batteries are not in use, they
should be kept away from other metal
objects such as paper clips, coins,
keys, nails, screws or other small metal
objects that could short-circuit the
contacts. Short circuits between battery
contacts can lead to explosion or fires.
d) A battery in poor condition may allow
fluid to leak from it. Avoid contact
with battery fluids. In case of accidental
contact, rinse with water. If battery fluids
come into contact with the eyes, also
consult a doctor. Liquid leaked from the
battery may cause skin irritation or burns.
e) Do not use a machine or battery
pack that are damaged or modified.
Damaged or modified batteries may
exhibit unpredictable behaviour resulting
in fire, explosion or risk of injury.
f) Do not expose the batteries or
the tool to fire or excessively
high temperatures. Exposure
to fire or temperatures exceeding
130°C may cause an explosion.
g) Follow all the charging instructions
and do not charge the battery
outside the temperature range
specified in the instructions. Improper
charging or at temperatures outside
the specified range can damage the
batteries and increase the risk of fire.
h) Do not charge the batteries in
places with vapours or flammable
substances present or in rooms
which are damp. If it is not possible
to avoid damp environments, use a
power socket protected by a differential
switch (RCD-Residual Current Device)
to reduce the risk of electric shocks.
i) Keep the battery charge cable
out of the reach of children.
6) Technical Assistance
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) Do not attempt to repair
batteries. Repairs must be carried
out by the manufacturer or by a
specialized service centre.
