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.

free from oil and grease. Slippery handles and grasping
surfaces do not allow for safe handling and control of the

battery packs. Use of any other battery packs may create
a risk of injury and fire.
c ) 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.
d ) 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.

or modified. Damaged or modified batteries may exhibit
unpredictable behaviour resulting in fire, explosion or risk

excessive temperature. Exposure to fire or temperature
above 130 °C may cause explosion.
