surfaces. There is a risk of explosion.
• If other batteries are used, e.g. imitations, reconditioned batteries or third-party products, there
is a risk of injuries as well as damage caused by exploding batteries.
• A charger that is suitable for one type of battery pack may create a risk of fire when used with
another battery pack. This may cause an internal short-circuit and the battery to burn, smoke,
explode or overheat.
Battery Charger

Safety Information
7
• Recharge only with the charger specified by the manufacturer. A charger that is suitable for one
type of battery pack may create a risk of fire when used with another battery pack.
• Use power tools only with specifically designated battery packs. Use of any other battery packs
may create a risk of injury and fire.
• When battery pack is not in use, keep it away from other metal objects, like paper clips, coins,
keys, nails, screws or other small metal objects, that can make a connection from one terminal to
another. Shorting the battery terminals together may cause burns or a fire.
• Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from the battery; avoid contact. If contact
accidentally occurs, flush with water. If liquid contacts eyes, additionally seek medical help.
Liquid ejected from the battery may cause irritation or burns.
• Liquid ejected from the battery may cause irritation or burns.
• Never attempt to open the battery pack for any reason. If the plastic housing of the battery
pack breaks open or cracks, immediately discontinue its use and do not recharge it.
• Do not pierce the battery with nails, strike the battery with a hammer, step on the battery or
otherwise subject it to strong impacts or shocks.
• Protect the battery pack against heat. Do not place the battery in direct sunlight or use or store
the battery inside cars in hot weather. Doing so may cause the battery to generate heat, explode
or ignite.
• Never try to charge a battery pack that is cracked or damaged in any other way. There is a
danger of electric shock or electrocution.
Battery Use And Care
!
• There is an explosion risk if the battery terminals are short circuited, when
connecting/disconnecting ALWAYS exercise great care so that the terminals or battery leads are
NOT allowed to touch and cause a spark. ALWAYS use suitable insulated tools.

Safety Information
• Prior to carrying out any maintenance work you MUST identify electrical isolation methods and
isolate all electrical supplies.
• Prior to use and with all electrical supplies isolated, you MUST check all electrical cables, plugs
and connectors for the following;
- Are intact and have no signs of damage, to include but not limited to bare wires, chaffing, cuts
and loose wiring.
- If there are any signs of damage, the damaged item MUST be taken out of service until the
damage has been repaired by an electrically competent person.
• All trailing cables should be routed so as not to cause any kind of trip hazard.
• NEVER work on or near electricity with wet hands, wet clothing and wet gloves.
• Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use any
adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools. Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will
reduce risk of electric shock.
• Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces, such as pipes, radiators, ranges and
refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is earthed or grounded.
• Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase
the risk of electric shock.
• Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging the power tool.
Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges and moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords
increase the risk of electric shock.
• When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of
a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.
• If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a residual current device (RCD)
protected supply. Use of an RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.

The equivalent lithium content of the batteries included in the product package is below the
appropriate limit values. Therefore the battery as an individual component as well as the power
tool and its product package are not subject to national or international dangerous goods
regulations as the standard 2.5Ah battery is not over the 100wh limit.
If several machines with lithium-ion are transported, these regulations may become relevant and
special measures may be required (e.g. for the packaging).
