SAFETY GUIDELINES FOR BATTERY-OPERATED TOOLS
•
Prevent unintentional starting.
Ensure the switch is in the off-position before connecting to
battery pack, picking up or carrying the appliance. Carrying the appliance with your finger on the
switch or energizing appliance that have the switch on invites accidents.
•
Disconnect the battery pack from the appliance before making any adjustments,
changing accessories, or storing appliance.
Such preventive safety measures reduce the
risk of starting the appliance accidentally.
•
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 appliances 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, seek additional
medical help. Liquid ejected from the battery may cause irritation or burns.
•
Do not use a battery pack or appliance 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 appliance to fire or excessive temperature.
Exposure to
fire or temperature above 130°C (265°F) may cause an explosion.
•
Follow all charging instructions and do not charge the battery pack or appliance
outside of the temperature range specified in the instructions.
Charging improperly or at
temperatures outside of the specified range may damage the battery and increase the risk of fire.
•
Have servicing performed by a qualified repair person using only identical replacement
parts.
