IMPORTANT SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS FOR BATTERY
CARTRIDGE
Battery
Only use the original charger supplied
The mains voltage must be the same as the
charger operating voltage.
Using a charger whose electrical characteristics
are different from those of the recommended
charger could damage the battery.
Avoid all fast charging or overcharging that
could shorten the battery life.
1. Before using battery cartridge, read all
instructions and cautionary markings on battery
charger, battery, and product using battery.
2. Do not disassemble battery cartridge.
3. If operating time has become
excessively shorter, stop operating immediately.
It may result in a risk of overheating, possible
burns and even an explosion.
4. If electrolyte gets into your eyes, rinse them out
with clear water and seek medical attention right
away. It may result in loss of your eyesight.
5. Do not short the battery cartridge:
(1) Do not touch the terminals with any conduc-
tive material.
(2) Avoid storing battery cartridge in a container
with other metal objects such as nails, coins,
etc.
(3) Do not expose battery cartridge to water or
rain.
A battery short can cause a large current flow,
overheating, possible burns and even a
breakdown.
6. Do not store the tool and battery cartridge
in locations where the temperature may reach or
exceed 50°C (122°F).
7. Do not incinerate the battery cartridge even if it
is severely damaged or is completely worn out.
The battery cartridge can explode in a fire.
8. Be careful not to drop or strike battery.
9. Do not use a damaged battery.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
Tips for maintaining maximum battery life
1. Charge the battery cartridge before
completely discharged.
Always stop tool operation and charge the bat-
tery cartridge when you notice less tool power.
2. Never recharge a fully charged battery
cartridge.
Overcharging shortens the battery service life.
3. Charge the battery cartridge with room
temperature at 10°C – 40°C (50°F – 104°F).
Let a hot battery cartridge cool down before
charging it.
4. Charge the battery cartridge once in every
six months if you do not use it for a long period of
time.
FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
Installing or removing battery cartridge
CAUTION:
• Always switch off the tool before installing or
removing the battery cartridge.
• Make sure that you lock the battery cover before
use.
Otherwise, mud, dirt, or water may cause
damage to the product or the battery cartridge.
Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces,
when performing an operation where the fastener
may contact hidden wiring. Fasteners contacting a
"live" wire may make exposed metal parts of the
power tool "live" and could give the operator an
electric shock.
Protect the battery charger from rain and
moisture. The penetration of water in a battery
charger increases the risk of electric shock.
Recharge only with the charger specified by the
manufacturer. A charger that is suitable for one type
of battery, it may create a risk of fire when used with
another battery.
Do not charge other batteries. The battery
charger is suitable only for charging our batteries
within the listed voltage range. Otherwise there is
danger, fire and explosion.
Keep the battery charger clean. Contamination
may cause the danger of electric shock.
Check the battery charger, cable and plug each
time before using. Do not use the battery charger
when defects are detected. Do not open the battery
charger yourself and have it repaired only by
qualified personnel using original spare parts.
Damaged battery chargers, cables and plugs
increase the risk of electric shock.
Do not operate the battery charger on easily
inflammable surfaces (e. g. paper, textiles, etc.) or in
combustible environments. There is danger of fire
due to the heating of the battery charger during
charging.
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.
Do not open the battery yourself. There is danger
of a short circuit.
Protect the battery against heat, e.g., including
against continuous sun irradiation and fire. There is
a danger of explosion.
