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
temperatures. Exposure to fire or excessive temperature above
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.
OPERATION
■
Operate the product only at reasonable hours – not early in the
morning or late at night when people might be disturbed.
■
Never operate the product in an explosive atmosphere.
■
Avoid using the product in bad weather conditions especially
when there is a risk of lightning.
■
Do not operate the product in poor lighting. The operator
requires a clear view of the work area to identify potential
hazards.
■
The use of hearing protection reduces the ability to hear
warnings (shouts or alarms). The operator must pay extra
attention to what is going on in the working area.
■
Do not get distracted and always concentrate on the task.
■
Operating similar tools nearby increases both the risk of hearing
injury and the potential for other persons to enter your working
area.
