performed. Use of the machine 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 machine in unexpected situations.
5. Battery machine use and care
A. Recharge only with the charger specified by a manufacturer. A charger that is
suitable for one type of battery pack may create a risk of fire when used with another
battery pack.
B. Use the machine only with specifically designated batteries. Use of any other
batteries 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.
E. Do not use a battery pack or machine that is damaged or modified. Damaged
or modified batteries may exhibit unpredictable behavior resulting in fire, explosion
or risk or injury.
F. Do not expose a battery pack or machine to fire or excessive temperature.
Exposure to fire temperature above 130°C (265°F) may cause an explosion.
G. Follow all charging instructions and do not charge the battery pack or
machine 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.
6. Service
A. Have your machine serviced by a qualified repair person using only identical
replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the machine is maintained.
B. Never service damaged battery packs. Service of battery packs should be
performed only by the manufacturer or authorized service providers.
