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 unex-
pected situations.
5. Use and handling of the cordless
electrical power tool
a) Charge a rechargeable battery using only the
charger recommended by the manufacturer.
Chargers are often designed for a particular
type of rechargeable battery unit. There is a risk
of fire if the battery charger specified for a par-
ticular 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 a damaged or modified battery.
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 explosion.
PAMS 12 A1

ies should only be maintained by the manufac-
turer or an approved customer service centre.
