MAINTENANCE AND INSPECTION
1. Inspecting the mounting screws
Regularly inspect all mounting screws and ensure that

be loose, retighten them immediately. Failure to do so
could result in serious hazard.
2. Cleaning of the charger
When the charger is stained, wipe with a soft dry cloth
or a cloth moistened with soapy water. Do not use
chloric solvents, gasoline or paint thinner, for they melt
plastics.
3. Store idle charger
When not in use, the charger should be stored in dry,
high or locked-up place — out of reach of children.
CAUTION
In the operation and maintenance of power tools, the
safety regulations and standards prescribed in each
country must be observed.
