result in a hazardous situation.
h) 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.
5) Battery tool use and care
a) 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.
b) Use power tools only with specifically
designated battery packs. Use of any other
battery packs may create a risk of injury and fire.
c) 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.
d) 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.
e) 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.
f) Do not expose a battery pack or tool to fire
or excessive temperature. Exposure to fire or
temperature above 130 °C may cause explosion.
g) 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.
6) Service
a) Have your power tool serviced by a qualified
repair person using only identical replacement
parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power
tool is maintained.
b) Never service damaged battery packs. Service
of battery packs should only be performed by the
manufacturer or authorized service providers.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR
DRAIN AUGERS
a) Only grasp the rotating cable with gloves
recommended by the manufacturer. Latex or
loose-fitting gloves or rags can become wrapped
around the cable and may result in serious personal
injury.
b) Do not allow the cutter to stop turning while the
cable is turning. This can overstress the cable and
may cause twisting, kinking or breaking of the cable
and may result in serious personal injury.
20V Cordless Drain Auger
c) Use latex or rubber gloves inside the gloves
recommended by the manufacturer, goggles,
face shields, protective clothing, and respirator
when chemicals, bacteria or other toxic or
infectious substances are suspected to be in a
drain line. Drains may contain chemicals, bacteria
and other substances that may cause burns, be toxic
or infectious or may result in other serious personal
injury.
d) Practice good hygiene. Do not eat or smoke
while handling or operating the tool. After
handling or operating drain cleaning equipment,
use hot, soapy water to wash hands and other
body parts exposed to drain contents. This
will help reduce the risk of health hazards due to
exposure to toxic or infectious material.
e) Only use the drain auger for the recommended
drain sizes. Using the wrong size drain cleaner can
lead to twisting, kinking or breaking of the cable and
may result in personal injury.
SAFETY WARNINGS FOR
BATTERY PACK
a) Do not dismantle, open or shred cells or battery
pack.
b) Do not short-circuit a battery pack. Do not store
battery packs haphazardly in a box or drawer
where they may short-circuit each other or be
short-circuited by conductive materials. 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.
c) Do not expose battery pack to heat or fire. Avoid
storage in direct sunlight.
d) Do not subject battery pack to mechanical
shock.
e) In the event of battery leaking, do not allow the
liquid to come into contact with the skin or eyes.
If contact has been made, wash the affected
area with copious amounts of water and seek
medical advice.
f) Seek medical advice immediately if a cell or
battery pack has been swallowed.
g) Keep battery pack clean and dry.
h) Wipe the battery pack terminals with a clean dry
cloth if they become dirty.
i) Battery pack needs to be charged before use.
Always refer to this instruction and use the
correct charging procedure.
j) Do not maintain battery pack on charge when
not in use.
k) After extended periods of storage, it may
be necessary to charge and discharge the
battery pack several times to obtain maximum
performance.
l) Recharge only with the charger specified
by Worx. Do not use any charger other than
