coins, keys, nails, screws
and other small metal ob-
jects, which could cause
bridging of the contacts.
A short circuit between
the battery contacts may
cause burns or fire.
• If used incorrectly, liquid
may leak from the bat-
tery. Avoid contact with
this. In the event of acci-
dental contact, rinse off
with water. If the liquid
gets into eyes, seek me-
dical assistance. Leaking
battery fluid may cause
skin irritations or burns.
• Do not use damaged or
altered batteries. Dama-
ged or altered batteries
can be unpredictable
and lead to fire, explo-
sion or risk of injury.
• Do not expose batteries
to fire or elevated tem-
peratures. Fire or tempe-
ratures over 130 C° can
cause an explosion.
• Follow all instructions
for charging and never
charge the battery or the
battery-powered tool out-
side the temperature ran-
ge stated in the operating
instructions. Incorrect
charging or charging out-
side the permitted tempe-
rature range may destroy
the battery and increase
the risk of fire.

Special safety directions for
battery-operated tools
• Ensure that the device
is switched off before
inserting the battery.
Inserting a battery into
a power tool that is
switched on may result in
accidents.
• Recharge the batteries
indoors only because
the battery charger is
designed for indoor use
only.
• To reduce the electric
shock hazard, unplug the
battery charger from the
mains before cleaning
the charger.
• Do not subject the bat-
tery to strong sunlight
over long periods and do
not leave it on a heater.
Heat damages the bat-
tery and there is a risk of
explosion.
• Allow a hot battery to
cool before charging.
• Do not open up the bat-
tery and avoid mechan-
ical damage to the bat-
tery. Risk of short circuit
