Battery tool use and care

1. 

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.

2. 

Use power tools only with specifically desig

-

nated battery packs.

 Use of any other battery 

packs may create a risk of injury and fire.

3. 

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.

4. 

Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected 
from the battery; avoid contact. If contact acci-

dentally occurs, flush with water. If liquid contacts 

eyes, additionally seek medical help.

 Liquid ejected 

from the battery may cause irritation or burns.

5. 

Do not use a battery pack or tool that is damaged or 

modified.

 Damaged or modified batteries may exhibit unpre

-

dictable behaviour resulting in fire, explosion or risk of injury.

6. 

Do not expose a battery pack or tool to fire or 

excessive temperature.

 Exposure to fire or tem

-

perature above 130 °C may cause explosion.

7. 

Follow all charging instructions and do not charge 
the battery pack or tool outside the temperature 

range specified in the instructions.

 Charging improp-

erly or at temperatures outside the specified range may 

damage the battery and increase the risk of fire.

Service

1. 

Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair 

person using only identical replacement parts.

 This will 

ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.

2. 

Never service damaged battery packs.

 Service 

of battery packs should only be performed by the 
manufacturer or authorized service providers.

3. 

Follow instruction for lubricating and chang-
ing accessories.
