ELECTRICAL SAFETY
• Always check that the power supply corresponds to the voltage on the rating plate.
• Plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use adapter plugs with earthed equipment.
Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will reduce the risk of an electric shock.
• Avoid body contact with earthed surfaces such as pipes, radiators, kitchen ranges and refrigerators. There is an
increased risk of an electric shock if your body is earthed.
• Do not expose to rain or wet conditions. If water gets inside, it will increase the risk of an electric shock.
• If operating in a damp location is unavoidable, use a power supply protected by a residual current device (RCD).
Using an RCD reduces the risk of an electric shock.
SERVICE
Your power tool should be serviced by a qualified specialist using only standard spare parts. This will
ensure that it meets the required safety standards.
a) Use only the manufacturer’s recommended replacement parts and accessories.
b) Inspect and maintain the machine regularly. Have the machine repaired only by an authorized repairer.
c) When not in use, store the machine out of the reach of children.
ADDITIONAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
FOR BATTERIES AND CHARGERS
Use only batteries and chargers applicable for this machine.
BATTERIES
• Never attempt to open for any reason.
• Do not store in locations where the temperature may exceed 40 °C.
• Charge only at ambient temperatures between 4 °C and 40 °C.
• When disposing of batteries, follow the instructions given in the section “Protecting the environment”.
• Do not cause short circuits. If connection is made between the positive (+) and negative (-) terminal directly or via
accidental contact with metallic objects, the battery is short circuited and an intense current will flow causing heat
generation which may lead to casing rupture or fire.
• Do not heat. If batteries are heated to above 100 °C, sealing and insulating separators and other polymer
components may be damaged resulting in electrolyte leakage and/or internal short circuiting leading to heat
generation causing rupture or file. Moreover do not dispose of the batteries in fire, explosion and/or intense burning
may result.
• Under extreme conditions, battery leakage may occur. When you notice liquid on the battery, proceed as follows:
• Carefully wipe the liquid off using a cloth. Avoid skin contact.
