Safety precautions
Battery
Protect the rechargeable battery
■
and the tool from heat, moisture,
water, e.g. also from continuous
sunlight and fire. Risk of explosion!
The rechargeable battery must
■
only be removed as described in
these instructions.
Do not open the tool or the re-
■
chargeable battery. This could
cause a short circuit. In the event
of problems, contact your retailer.
Do not touch any electrolyte fluid
■
that has escaped. Do not get elec-
trolyte fluid in your eyes. Immedi-
ately move tool away from naked
flame or sources of heat. Immedi-
ately remove contaminated clothing.
If electrolyte does escape from the
■
battery, the following action is
necessary:
Contact with eyes
Immediately rinse eyes with copious
quantities of clean water, such as tap
water, but do not rub. Seek medical
attention. Failure to take the appropri-
ate action can result in loss of sight.
Contact with skin
Immediately wash the areas affected
with copious quantities of clean
water, e.g. tap water, or skin irritation
may occur. If the chemical penetrates
clothing, take off clothing immediately
and wash the skin with water. If irrita-
tion persists after washing it off, seek
medical attention.
Inhalation
If the rechargeable battery is dam-
aged or used improperly, vapours or
electrolyte fluid may escape. Provide
fresh air and seek medical attention if
you feel unwell or discomfort occurs.
The vapours may cause respiratory
irritation.
The lithium-ion rechargeable bat-
■
tery can be recharged at any time
without shortening its lifespan. In-
terrupting the charge cycle will not
damage the rechargeable battery.
If the tool is not going to be used
■
for a prolonged period, remove the
rechargeable battery from the tool.
This will prolong the life of the lithi-
um-ion rechargeable battery.
When not in use, keep the re-
■
chargeable battery away from
paper clips, coins, keys, nails,
screws or other small metal ob-
jects that could short-circuit the
contacts. A short circuit between
the rechargeable battery contact
may result in burns or fire.
Do not short-circuit the rechargea-
■
ble battery. Risk of explosion!
Make sure the tool is switched off
■
before you insert the rechargeable
battery. Inserting a battery into a
power tool that is switched on can
result in accidents.
Only charge the batteries in charg-
■
ers that are recommended by the
manufacturer. A charger that is
only suitable for charging specific
batteries presents a fire risk if it is
