e) Maintain power tools and accessories. Check
for misalignment or binding of moving parts,
breakage of parts and any other condition
that may affect the power tool's operation.
If damaged, have the power tool repaired
before use. Many accidents are caused by
poorly maintained power tools.
f) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly
maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting
edges are less likely to bind and are easier to
control.
g) Use the power tool, accessories and acces-
sory tools 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 grasping surfaces dry,
clean and free from oil and grease. Slippery
handles and grasping surfaces do not allow
for safe handling and control of the tool in un ex-
pected situations.
5. Use and handling of the cordless
electrical power tool
a) Charge a rechargeable battery using only
the charger recommended by the manufac-
turer. Chargers are often designed for a
particular type of rechargeable battery unit.
There is a risk of fire if a battery charger speci-
fied for a particular type of battery is used with
other batteries.
b) Only the rechargeable battery units supplied
are to be used with an electrical power tool.
The use of other rechargeable battery units may
lead to the danger of injury or fire.
c) When they are not being used, store
rechargeable battery units away from paper-
clips, coins, keys, nails, screws or other small
metal objects that could cause the contacts to
be bridged. Short-circuiting the contacts of a
rechargeable battery unit may result in heat
damage or fire.

d) Fluids may leak out of rechargeable battery
units if they are misused. If this happens,
avoid contact with the fluid. If contact occurs,
flush the affected area with water. Seek addi-
tional medical help if any of the fluid gets into
your eyes. Escaping battery fluid may cause
skin irritation or burns.
e) Do not use damaged or modified batteries.
Damaged or modified batteries may behave
unexpectedly and cause fires, explosions or
pose a risk of injury.
f) Do not expose a battery to fire or excessively
high temperatures. Fire or temperatures in
excess of 130°C (265°F) can cause an ex plo-
sion.
g) Follow all instructions regarding charging
and never charge the battery or the cordless
tool outside of the temperature range given in
the operating instructions. Incorrect charging
or charging outside of the permissible tempera-
ture range can destroy the battery and increase
the risk of fire.
CAUTION! RISK OF EXPLOSION!
Never charge non-rechargeable
batteries.
able battery from heat (for example, from
continuous exposure to sunlight), fire, water
and moisture. There is a risk of explosion.

a) Have your power tool serviced by a qualified
repair person using only identical replace-
ment parts. This will ensure that the safety of
the power tool is maintained.
b) Never try to repair damaged batteries.
Batteries should only be maintained by the
manufacturer or an approved customer service
