SERVICE
USE AND HANDLING OF THE CORDLESS
ELECTRICAL POWER TOOL
a) Charge a rechargeable battery unit using only the charger recommended by the manufacturer.
Chargers are often designed for a particular type of rechargeable battery unit. There is the danger
of fire if other types of rechargeable battery units are used.

use of other rechargeable battery units may lead to the danger of injury or fire.
c) When they are not being used, store rechargeable
battery units away from paperclips, coins, keys, nails, screws or other small metal objects that
could cause the contacts to be bridged. Short-circuiting the contacts of a rechargeable battery
unit may result in heat damage or fire.
