21 General Power Tool Safety Warnings
d) Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and do
not allow persons unfamiliar with the power tool or these
instructions to operate the power tool. Power tools are
dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
e) Maintain power tools and accessories with care. Check for
misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts
and any other condition that may affect 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 attachments sharp and clean. Properly
maintained cutting attachments with sharp cutting edges
are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
g) Use the power tool, accessories, 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 different from those intended
could result in a hazardous situation.
h) Keep handles and grip surfaces dry, clean and free from
oil and grease. Slippery handles and grip surfaces doe not
allow proper operation and control of the power tool in
unforeseen situations.
21.6 Battery tool use and care
a) Recharge the batteries only with chargers specified by the
manufacturer. A charger that is suitable for one type of
battery pack may create a risk of fire when used with
another battery pack.
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 objects that could make a connection from one
terminal to another. Shorting the battery terminals together
may cause burns or a fire.

d) Misuse may cause liquid to escape from the battery. Avoid
contact with the liquid. 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) Never use a damaged or modified battery. Damaged or
modified batteries can react unpredictably and result in a
fire, explosion or injury.
f)
Never expose a battery to fire or very high temperatures.
Fire or temperatures above 130°C (265°F) can cause an
explosion.
g) Follow all charging instructions and never charge the
battery or the battery operated power tool outside the
temperature range specified in the instruction manual.
Incorrect charging or charging outside the permissible
temperature range can destroy the battery and increase
the fire risk.
