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) 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.
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 tool is
maintained.

Charging battery
5
- battery of new tools is not fully charged
! unplug the charger from the tool after charging
period has ended thereby lengthening the service
life of the battery
IMPORTANT:
- while charging, the charger and the battery may
become warm to touch; this is normal and does not
indicate a problem
- do not charge at temperatures below 0° C and over
40° C; this will seriously damage the battery as well
as the charger
- when you charge the battery for the first time, it only
accepts 80% of its maximum capacity; after several
charges and discharges, however, the batteries
should be at full capacity and deliver maximum
performance
- do not repeatedly recharge the battery after only a
few minutes of operation; this may result in a
reduction of operating time and battery efficiency
- the nickel-cadmium battery must be kept separate
from the natural environment and should not be
disposed of as normal domestic waste
