Battery tool use and care
24. Recharge only with the charger 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.
25. Use power tools only with specifically designated
battery packs. Use of any other battery packs may
create a risk of injury and fire.
26. 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 terminals together may
cause burns or a fire.
27. Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected
from the battery; avoid contact. 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.
Service

repair person using only identical replacement
parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power tool
is maintained.
29. Follow instruction for lubricating and changing
accessories.
30. Keep handles dry, clean and free from oil and
grease.

missing components, and/or cracked/worn/
damaged hose.
Using an incomplete sprayer may cause an accident
and/or injury.
11. People not involved in spraying should refrain
from approaching the worksite during spraying.
12. When transporting a chemical-loaded sprayer by
vehicle, there is a risk of leaking, so always firmly
tighten the chemical tank lid, and secure the
sprayer in an upright position.

chemicals, paints, thinners, gasoline or benzene
with the sprayer, as there is a danger of burns or
fire.
