Personal Safety
m
WARNING!
Do not touch the hot part while operating
and until unit is completely cooled down. Touching hot surface
can cause severe burns, personal injury or property damage.
1. Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common
sense when operating the fire starter. Do not use the
unit while you are tired or under the influence of drugs,
alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention while
operating the unit may result in serious personal injury.
2. Do not force the appliance. It will do the job better with
less likelihood of injury if it is used at the rate for which it
was designed.
3. Use the right appliance. Do not use the appliance for any
job except that for which it is intended.
4. Do not use the appliance if the switch does not turn
it on and off. Any appliance that cannot be controlled by
the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
5. Disconnect the battery pack from the appliance
before making any adjustments, changing accessories
or storing the appliance. Such preventative safety
measures reduce the risk of starting the appliance
accidentally.
6. Store the idle appliance out of the children's reach and
do not allow persons unfamiliar with the appliance or
these instructions to operate the appliance. Appliances
are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
7. Maintain appliance with care. Check for misalignment or
binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any other
condition that may affect the tool's operation. If damaged,
have the tool repaired before use. Many accidents are
caused by poorly maintained power tools.
8. Keep the product dry, clean and free from oil and
grease. Always use a clean cloth when cleaning. Never
use brake fluids, gasoline, petroleum-based products, or
any strong solvents to clean your product. Following this
rule will reduce the risk of loss of control and deterioration
of the enclosure plastic.
9. Use the appliance and accessories in accordance with
these instructions and in the manner intended for the
particular use of the appliance, taking into account
the working conditions and the work to be performed.
Using the tool for operations different from those intended
could result in a hazardous situation.
10. Battery tools do not have to be plugged into an electrical
outlet; therefore, they are always in operating condition.
Be aware of possible hazards when not using your battery
tool or when changing accessories. Following this rule will
reduce the risk of electric shock, fire, or serious personal
injury.
11. The unit can becomes very hot. Do not lay the fire starter
on flammable surfaces while operating or immediately
after shutting off. Always set it on the stand with the outlet
tip pointing in a safe direction.
12. Never point the tool at yourself or others.

Battery & Charger
Safety Instructions
We pay a great deal of attention to the design of every battery
pack to ensure that we supply you with batteries that are safe,
durable and have a high energy density. The battery cells have
a wide range of safety devices. Each individual cell is initially
formatted and its electrical characteristic curves are recorded.
This data is then used exclusively to be able to assemble the
best possible battery packs.
Despite all the safety precautions, caution must always be
exercised when handling batteries. The following points must
be obeyed at all times to ensure safe use. Safe use can only
be guaranteed if undamaged cells are used. Incorrect handling
of the battery pack can cause cell damage.
IMPORTANT! Analyses confirm that incorrect use and poor
care of high-performance batteries are the main factors
responsible for personal and/or product damage.
m
WARNING!
Use only approved replacement batteries;
other batteries may damage the power tool and cause it to
malfunction, which can lead to serious personal injury.
