5. Use and handling of the cordless
electrical power tool
a) Charge a rechargeable battery unit using only
the charger recommended by the manufactur-
er. 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.
b) Only the rechargeable battery units supplied
are to be used with an electrical power tool.
The use of other rechargeable battery units may
lead to the danger of injury or fire.
c) When they are not being used, store re-
chargeable battery units away from paper-
clips, 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.
d) Fluids may leak out of rechargeable battery
units if they are misused. If this happens,
avoid contact with the fluid. If contact occurs,
flush the affected area with water. Seek addi-
tional medical help if any of the fluid gets into
your eyes. Escaping battery fluid may cause
skin irritation or burns.
CAUTION! RISK OF EXPLOSION!
Never charge non-rechargeable
batteries!
Protect the rechargeable battery
from heat, for example from
continuous exposure to sunlight, fire,
water and moisture. There is a risk of
explosion.
6. Service
a) Have your power tool serviced by a qualified
repair person using only identical replace-
ment parts. This will ensure that the safety of
the power tool is maintained.
