Battery tool use and care
1.
Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the
switch is in the off-position before connecting
to battery pack, picking up or carrying the
machine. Carrying the machine with your finger
on the switch or energizing machine that have the
switch on invites accidents.
2.
Disconnect the battery pack from the machine
before making any adjustments, changing
accessories, or storing machine. Such preven-
tive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the
machine accidentally.
3.
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.
4.
Use machines only with specifically desig-
nated battery packs. Use of any other battery
packs may create a risk of injury and fire.
5.
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 termi-
nals together may cause burns or a fire.
6.
Under abusive conditions, liquid may be
ejected from the battery; avoid contact. If con-
tact accidentally occurs, flush with water. If
liquid contacts eyes, seek medical help. Liquid
ejected from the battery may cause irritation or
burns.
7.
Do not use a battery pack or machine that is
damaged or modified. Damaged or modified
batteries may exhibit unpredictable behaviour
resulting in fire, explosion or risk of injury.
8.
Do not expose a battery pack or machine to
fire or excessive temperature. Exposure to fire
or temperature above 130°C (265°F) may cause
explosion.
Follow all charging instructions and do not
9.
charge the battery pack or machine outside of
the temperature range specified in the instruc-
tions. Charging improperly or at temperatures
outside of the specified range may damage the
battery and increase the risk of fire.
10. Have servicing performed by a qualified repair
person using only identical replacement parts.
This will ensure that the safety of the product is
maintained.
11.
Do not modify or attempt to repair the machine
or the battery pack except as indicated in the
instructions for use and care.
Electrical and battery safety
1.
Do not dispose of the battery(ies) in a fire.
The cell may explode. Check with local codes for
possible special disposal instructions.
2.
Do not open or mutilate the battery(ies).
Released electrolyte is corrosive and may cause
damage to the eyes or skin. It may be toxic if
swallowed.
3.
Do not charge battery in rain, or in wet
locations.
4.
Do not charge the battery outdoors.
Do not handle charger, including charger plug,
5.
and charger terminals with wet hands.
6.
When replacing batteries, all batteries should
be replaced at the same time. Mixing fresh and
discharged batteries could increase internal cell
pressure and rupture the discharged battery.
