battery units if they are misused. If
this happens, avoid contact with the
fluid. If contact occurs, flush the affect-
ed area with water. Seek additional
medical help if any of the fluid gets
into your eyes. Escaping battery fluid may
cause skin irritation or burns.

Use the additional handle 10 that came
with the appliance. Losing control of the
machine can lead to injuries.
½
Hold the appliance by the insulated
handling surfaces when you are carry-
ing out work during which the insertion
tool might hit on hidden power supply
lines or the appliance’s own power ca-
ble. Contact with a live electrical wire can also
make metal parts of the electrical tool live and
can lead to electric shock.

charger or battery pack always pull
the plug out of the mains socket. This
precaution is intended to prevent you from unin-
tentionally starting the device.

Never charge the battery pack if the
ambient temperature is below 10 °C
or above 40 °C. In this way you will ensure
your battery has long working life.

The ventilation openings on the charg-
er must always be kept free. Otherwise
there is the danger of overheating.

vice, transport or store it, make sure that
the direction of rotation switch

middle position (lock) to prevent the de-
vice from starting up unintentionally.

experience to use the device or whose physical,
sensory or intellectual capacities are limited
