tionally seek medical help. Liquid ejected from the bat-
tery may cause irritation or burns.
Do not use a battery pack or tool that is damaged or
u
modified. Damaged or modified batteries may exhibit
unpredictable behaviour resulting in fire, explosion or risk
of injury.
Do not expose a battery pack or tool to fire or excess-
u
ive temperature. Exposure to fire or temperature above
130°C may cause explosion.
Follow all charging instructions and do not charge the
u
battery pack or tool outside the temperature range
specified in the instructions. Charging improperly or at
temperatures outside the specified range may damage
the battery and increase the risk of fire.
Service
Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair
u
person using only identical replacement parts. This
will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.
Never service damaged battery packs. Service of bat-
u
tery packs should only be performed by the manufacturer
or authorized service providers.
Safety Warnings for Sander
Only use the power tool for dry sanding. Water entering
u
a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
Warning: Danger of fire! Avoid overheating the work-
u
piece and the sander. Always empty the dust con-
tainer before taking a break from work. Sanding dust in
the dust bag, microfilter, paper bag (or in the filter bag or
vacuum cleaner filter) can spontaneously ignite under un-
favourable conditions. This risk is increased if the sanding
dust is mixed with paint or polyurethane residue or with
other chemical substances and if the workpiece is hot as
a result of prolonged work.
Secure the workpiece. A workpiece clamped with
u
clamping devices or in a vice is held more secure than by
hand.
Always wait until the power tool has come to a com-
u
plete stop before placing it down.
In case of damage and improper use of the battery, va-
u
pours may be emitted. The battery can set alight or ex-
plode. Ensure the area is well ventilated and seek medical
attention should you experience any adverse effects. The
vapours may irritate the respiratory system.
Do not open the battery. There is a risk of short-circuit-
u
ing.
The battery can be damaged by pointed objects such
u
as nails or screwdrivers or by force applied externally.
An internal short circuit may occur, causing the battery to
burn, smoke, explode or overheat.
Only use the battery in the manufacturer's products.
u
This is the only way in which you can protect the battery
against dangerous overload.
