away the power tool. Such preventive
safety measures reduce the risk of start-
ing the power tool accidentaIly.
d) Store idle power tools out of the reach
of children and do not allow persons
unfamiliar with the power tool or these
instructions to operate the power tool.
Power tools are dangerous in the hands
of untrained users.
e) Look after the power tool and applica-
tion tool carefully. Check for misalign-
ment or binding of moving parts,
breakage of parts and any other condi-
tion that may affect the power tool's
operation. If damaged, have the power
tool repaired before use. Many acci-
dents are caused by poorly maintained
power tools.
f) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean.
Properly maintained cutting tools with
sharp cutting edges are less Iikely to
bind and are easier to control.
g) Use the power tool, accessories and
tool bits etc. in accordance with these
instructions, taking into account the
working conditions and the work to
be performed. Use of the power tool
for operations different from those
intended could result in a hazardous
situation.
h) Keep handles and grip surfaces dry,
clean and free from oil and grease.
Slippery handles and grip surfaces do
not permit safe operation and control
over the power tool in unexpected situ-
ations.
5) Careful handling and use of
battery devices
a) Charge the batteries only in chargers that
are recommended by the manufacturer.
Risk of fire if a charger that is suitable
for a specific type of battery is used with
other batteries.
b) In the power tools, use only the batter-
ies designed for the purpose. The use
of other batteries may result in injuries
and risk of fire.
c) Keep the unused battery away from
paper clips, coins, keys, nails, screws
and other small metal objects, which
could cause bridging of the contacts. A
short circuit between the battery con-
tacts may cause burns or fire.
d) If used incorrectly, liquid may leak from
the battery. Avoid contact with this. In
the event of accidental contact, rinse off
with water. If the liquid gets into eyes,
seek medical assistance. Leaking battery
fluid may cause skin irritations or burns.
e) Do not use damaged or altered bat-
teries. Damaged or altered batteries
can be unpredictable and lead to fire,
explosion or risk of injury.
f) Do not expose batteries to fire or elevat-
ed temperatures. Fire or temperatures
over 130 °C can cause an explosion.
g) Follow all instructions for charging and
never charge the battery or the battery-
powered tool outside the temperature
range stated in the operating instruc-
tions. Incorrect charging or charging
outside the permitted temperature
range may destroy the battery and in-
crease the risk of fire.
6) Service
a) Have your power tool serviced by
a qualified repair person using only
identical replacement parts. This will
ensure that the safety of the power tool
is maintained.
b) Never repair damaged batteries. All
battery repairs should be carried out
by the manufacturer or authorised cus-
tomer service centres only.
