ELECTRICAL SAFETY (cont.)
!
•
Never attempt to connect 2 chargers together.
•
DO NOT store or use the tool and battery pack in locations where the
temperature may reach or exceed 40ºC (such as outside sheds or metal buildings
in summer).
•
The charger is designed to operate on standard household electrical power (240 volts).
Do not attempt to use it on any other voltage!
The battery pack is not fully charged out of the carton. First read the safety
instructions and then follow the charging notes and procedures.
•
The longest life and best performance can be obtained if the battery pack is
charged when the air temperature is between 18 - 24ºC. Do not charge the
battery pack in an air temperature below 10ºC or above 40ºC. This is important
and will prevent damage to the battery pack.
•
Do not incinerate the battery pack even if it is seriously damaged or is completely
worn out. The battery can explode in a fire.
•
Never attempt to open the battery pack for any reason. If the plastic housing of the
battery pack breaks or cracks, immediately discontinue use and do not recharge.
Warning! Read all safety warnings and all instructions.
Failure to follow the
warnings and instructions may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.
Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.
The term "power tool" in all of the warnings refers to your mains-operated
(corded) power tool or battery-operated (cordless) power tool.
1) Work area safety
a) Keep work area clean and well lit.
Cluttered and dark areas invite accidents.
b) Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the
presence of flammable liquids, gases or dust.
Power tools create sparks which
may ignite the dust or fumes.
c) Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool.
Distractions
can cause you to lose control.
2) Electrical safety
a) Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way.
Do not use any adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools.
Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock
b) Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces such as pipes,
radiators, ranges and refrigerators.
There is an increased risk of electric shock if
your body is earthed or grounded.
c) Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions.
Water entering a power
tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
d) Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging
the power tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts.
Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock.
