User’s manual
• Do not touch the workpiece immediately
after operation. It may be extremely hot, and
could burn the skin.
ADDITIONAL SAFETY RULES FOR CHARGER
• Before using the charger, read all the instruc-
tions and cautionary markings on the charger
and battery pack as well as the instructions on
the battery pack.
• Only charge your battery pack indoors as the
charger is designed for indoor use only.
DANGER: If the battery pack is cracked or
damaged in any other way, do not insert it in
the charging base. There is a danger of electric
shock or electrocution.
WARNING: Do not allow any liquid to come
into contact with the charger. There is a dan-
ger of electric shock.
• The charger is not intended for any use other
than charging the exact type of rechargeable
battery pack as supplied with the charger. Any
other use may result in the risk of fire, electric
shock or electrocution.
• The charger and battery pack supplied with it
are specifically designed to work together. Do
not attempt to charge the battery pack with
any other charger than the one supplied.
• Do not place any object on top of the charger
as it could cause overheating. Do not place the
charger near any heat source.
• Pull on the charger to disconnect it from the
power source. Do not pull on the lead.
• Make sure that the charger lead is positioned
where it will not be stepped on, tripped over
or otherwise subjected to damage or stress.
• Do not use an extension cord unless it is abso-
lutely necessary. The use of an improper exten-
sion cord could cause the risk of fire, electric
shock or electrocution.
• Do not use the charger if it has been sub-
jected to a heavy knock, dropped or otherwise
damaged in any way. Take the charger to an
authorized service center for a check or repair.
• Do not disassemble the charger. Take it to
an authorized service center when service or
repair is required. Incorrect re-assembly may
result in the risk of fire, electric shock or elec-
trocution.
• To reduce the risk of an electric shock, un-
plug the charger from the power supply before
attempting to clean it. Removing the battery
pack alone does not reduce the risk.
• The charger is designed for use from a stan-
dard household electrical supply. Do not at-
tempt to connect the charger to a supply with
a different voltage.
• Do not abuse cord or charger. Never use the
cord to carry the charger. Do not pull the char-
ger cord rather than the plug when discon-
necting from receptacle. Damage to the cord
or charger could occur and create an electric
shock hazard. Replace damaged cords imme-
diately.
• Do not let gasoline, oils, petroleum-based
products, etc. come in contact with plastic
parts. They contain chemicals that can damage,
weaken or destroy plastic.
ADDITIONAL SAFETY RULES FOR BATTERY PACK
• To ensure the longest battery life and best
battery performance, always charge the bat-
tery when the temperature is between 0~40°C.
Do not charge the battery pack when the tem-
perature is below 0°C, or above 50°C. This is im-
portant. Failure to observe this safety rule could
cause serious damage to the battery pack.
• Do not incinerate the battery pack even if it
is seriously damaged or can no longer hold a
charge. The battery pack can explode in a fire.
• A small leakage of liquid from the battery
pack may occur under extreme usage or tem-
perature. This does not necessarily indicate a
failure of the battery pack. However, if the
outer seal is broken and this leakage comes
into contact with your skin:
· Wash the affected area quickly with soap and
water.
· Neutralise the liquid with a mild acid such as
lemon juice or vinegar.
If the leakage gets in your eyes:
· Flush your eyes with clean water for a mini-
mum of 10 minutes and seek immediate medi-
cal attention. Inform the medical staff that
the liquid is a 25-35% solution of potassium
hydroxide.
• Never attempt to open the battery pack for
any reason. If the plastic housing of the bat-
tery pack breaks open or cracks, immediately
discontinue its use and do not recharge it.
• Do not store or carry a spare battery pack in a
pocket or toolbox or any other place where it
may come into contact with metal objects. The
battery pack may be short circuited causing
