SAFETY WARNINGS

• General warnings

Check that the accumulator is in good working condition and

there are no signs of damage. Never use the machine with a

worn or damaged accumulator.

• How to handle and use battery-operated power

tools properly

a) Make sure that the tool is switched off before in-

serting the battery. Inserting a battery in a power tool

which is switched on can cause accidents

b) When charging batteries, only use battery chargers

recommended by the Manufacturer. Battery chargers

are generally designed for use with specific types of bat-

teries; fire risks can occur if other types are used.

c) Use the batteries specifically designed for your

power tool only. The use of other batteries may be haz-

ardous and cause injuries and fire risks.

d) Place all unused batteries at a distance from paper

clips, coins, keys, nails, screws or other small metal

objects as contact with the same can cause short cir-

cuits. Short circuits among battery contacts can lead to

explosion or fires.

e) Liquid can leak from batteries when they are in bad

condition. Avoid all contact with this liquid. Rinse

thoroughly with water if accidental contact occurs. If

the liquid comes into contact with the eyes, call a

doctor immediately. Liquid leaks from batteries can

cause skin irritation and even burns.
