When you notice liquid on the battery, proceed as follows:
- Carefully wipe the liquid off using a cloth. Avoid skin
contact.

below.
Warning!
The battery fluid, a 25-30% solution of potassium
hydroxide, can be harmful. In case of skin contact, immediately
rinse with water. Neutralise with a mild acid such as lemon
juice or vinegar. In case of eye contact, rinse abundantly with
clean water for at least 10 minutes. Consult a physician.

detached battery (e.g. when storing the battery in a
toolbox).
Do not incinerate the battery.
Do not attempt to charge damaged batteries.

ELECTRICAL SAFETY
Your charger has been designed for a specific mains voltage.
Always check that the mains voltage corresponds to the
voltage on the rating plate.
Your charger is double insulated in accordance with
EN 60335; therefore no earth wire is required.
Warning!
Never attempt to replace the charger unit with a
regular mains plug.
Additional safety instructions for hand-held saws

Do not attempt to saw extremely small workpieces.
◆
Before sawing in walls or floors, be aware of the location
of hidden pipes and wiring.

Never switch on the tool when the saw blade is jammed
in the workpiece or when it is in contact with the material.
◆
Do not exert side pressure on the saw blade.
◆
Always hold the tool with both hands.
◆
Do not use the tool while in a tree, on a ladder or on any
other unstable surface.
◆
When cutting branches be aware of where the branch will
fall.
