
Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry, clean and free from oil and grease. Slippery handles and grasping surfaces do
not allow for safe handling and control of the tool in unexpected situations.

Battery Tool Use And Care


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.

Use power tools only with specifically designated battery packs. Use of any other battery packs may create a risk of
injury and fire.

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.

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.

Do not use a battery pack or tool that is damaged or modified. Damaged or modified batteries may exhibit
unpredictable behaviour resulting in fire, explosion or risk of injury.

Do not expose a battery pack or tool to fire or excessive temperature. Exposure to fire or temperature above 265 °F
(130 °C) may cause explosion.

Follow all charging instructions and do not charge the battery pack or tool outside the temperature range specified in
the instructions. Charging improperly or at temperatures outside the specified range may damage the battery and
increase the risk of fire.


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.

