for the particular type of power tool, tak-
ing into account the working conditions
and the work to be performed. Use of the
power tool for operations different from in-
tended could result in a hazardous situation.
Appropriate handling and use of battery-
operated power tools
• Make sure that the device has been
switched off before inserting the battery.
Inserting a battery into a switched-on power
tool may lead to accidents!
• Only use charging devices recommended
by the manufacturer to charge the batter-
ies. Charging units are usually designed for
certain types of batteries; if used with other
types there is a risk of fire!
• Only use batteries designed for your
power tool. The use of other batteries may
lead to injury and risk of fire!
• Keep unused batteries clear of paper
clips, coins, keys, nails, screws or other
small metal objects that may bridge the
contacts. A short circuit between the battery
contacts may lead to burns or fire!
• Improper use may result in fluid leaking
out of the battery. Avoid any contact with
battery fluid. Flush with water in case of
contact. If battery fluid should get into
your eyes seek medical advice addition-
ally. Leaking battery fluid may lead to irrita-
tions of the skin or burns!
Service
• Have your power tool serviced by a quali-
fied repair personnel using only identical
replacement parts. This will ensure that the
safety of the power tool is maintained.
