and any other condition that may affect the
power tool’s operation. If damaged, have the
power tool repaired before use.
Many accidents
are caused by poorly maintained power tools.
f) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean.
Properly
maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges
are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
g) Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits
etc. in accordance with these instructions,
taking into account the working conditions and
the work to be performed.
Use of the power tool
for operations different from those intended could
result in a hazardous situation.
h) Keep the handle and grip surface dry, clean
and free of grease.
In the case of accidents, the
slippery handle cannot guarantee the safety 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.
NOTE The temperature „130 °C“ can be replaced by
the temperature „265 °F“.
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
t
ool is maintained.
b) Never service damaged battery packs. Service
of battery packs should only be performed by the
manufacturer or authorized service providers..
Hold the 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.
Battery safety warning
a) Do not dismantle, open or shred secondary cells or
batteries.
b) Keep batteries out of the reach of children
Battery usage by children should be supervised.
Especially keep small batteries out of reach of small
children.
c) Do not expose cells or batteries to heat or fire. Avoid
storage in direct sunlight.
d) Do not short-circuit a cell or a battery. Do not store
cells or batteries haphazardly in a box or drawer
where they may short-circuit each other or be short-
circuited by other metal objects.
e) Do not subject cells or batteries to mechanical
shock.
f) In the event of a cell leaking, do not allow the liquid
to come in contact with the skin or eyes. If contact
has been made, wash the affected area with
copious amounts of water and seek medical advice.
g) Do not use any charger other than that specifically
provided for use with the equipment.
h) Do not use any cell or battery which is not designed
for use with the equipment.
i) Do not mix cells of different manufacture, capacity,
size or type within a device.
j) Always purchase the battery recommended by the
device manufacturer for the equipment.
k) Keep cells and batteries clean and dry.
l) Wipe the cell or battery terminals with a clean dry
cloth if they become dirty.
m) Secondary cells and batteries need to be charged
before use. Always use the correct charger and
refer to the manufacturer’s instructions or equipment
manual for proper charging instructions.
n) Do not leave a battery on prolonged charge when
not in use.
o) After extended periods of storage, it may be
necessary to charge and discharge the cells
or batteries several times to obtain maximum
performance.
p) Retain the original product literature for future
reference.
