make exposed metal parts of the tool “live” and shock
the operator.

well as the specific potential hazards related to this
tool.

SERVICE
n
Tool service must be performed only by qualified re-
pair personnel.
Service or maintenance performed by
unqualified personnel may result in a risk of injury.
n
Do not place battery tools or their batteries near fire
or heat.
This will reduce the risk of explosion and pos-
sibly injury.

Never use a battery that has been dropped
orreceived a sharp blow.
A damaged battery is subject
to explosion. Properly dispose of a dropped or damaged
battery immediately.

Batteries vent hydrogen gas and can explode in the
presence of a source of ignition, such as a pilot light.
To reduce the risk of serious personal injury, never use
any cordless product in the presence of open flame. An
exploded battery can propel debris and chemicals. If
exposed, flush with water immediately.

in a location where the temperature is more than
0°C but less than 37°C. Do not store outside or in
vehicles.
n
Under extreme usage or temperature conditions,
battery leakage may occur. If liquid comes in contact
with your skin, wash immediately with soap and
water, then neutralize with lemon juice or vinegar.
If liquid gets into your eyes, flush them with clean
water for at least 10 minutes, then seek immediate
medical attention.
Following this rule will reduce the
risk of serious personal injury.
n
When servicing a tool, use only identical replacement
parts. Follow instructions in the Maintenance section
