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 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.

using only identical replacement parts. 

This will ensure that 

safety of the power tool is maintained.
