g) Use the power tool, accessories
and tool bits etc. in accordance
with these instructions, taking
into account the working condi-
tions and the work to be per-
formed. Use of the power tool for op-
erations different from those intended
could result in a hazardous situation.
h) Keep handles and grip surfaces
dry, clean and free from oil and
grease. Slippery handles and grip
surfaces do not permit safe operation
and control over the power tool in un-
expected situations.
5) CAREFUL HANDLING AND USE
OF BATTERY DEVICES
a) Charge the batteries only in
chargers that are recommended
by the manufacturer. Risk of fi re if
a charger that is suitable for a specifi c
type of battery is used with other bat-
teries.
b) In the power tools, use only the
batteries designed for the pur-
pose. The use of other batteries may
result in injuries and risk of fi re.
c) Keep the unused battery away
from paper clips, coins, keys,
nails, screws and other small
metal objects, which could cause
bridging of the contacts. A short
circuit between the battery contacts
may cause burns or fi re.
d) If used incorrectly, liquid may
leak from the battery. Avoid
contact with this. In the event of
accidental contact, rinse off with
water. If the liquid gets into eyes,
seek medical assistance. Leaking bat-
tery fl uid may cause skin irritations or
burns.
e) Do not use damaged or altered
batteries. Damaged or altered batter-
ies can be unpredictable and lead to
fi re, explosion or risk of injury.
f) Do not expose batteries to fi re
or elevated temperatures. Fire or
temperatures over 130 °C can cause
an explosion.
g) Follow all instructions for charg-
ing and never charge the bat-
tery or the battery-powered tool
outside the temperature range
stated in the operating instruc-
tions. Incorrect charging or charging
outside the permitted temperature
range may destroy the battery and in-
crease the risk of fi re.
6) SERVICE
a) Have your power tool serviced
by a qualifi ed repair person us-
ing only identical replacement
parts. This will ensure that the safety
of the power tool is maintained.
b) Never repair damaged batter-
ies. All battery repairs should be car-
ried out by the manufacturer or author-
ised customer service centres only.
