the device. Many accidents have their origins
in poorly maintained electrical power tools.

f)

Keep cutting tools clean and sharp.
Carefully maintained cutting tools with sharp
cutting edges are less likely to jam and are
easier to control.

g)

Use the electrical power tool, accesso-
ries, inserted tools etc. in accordance
with these instructions and advice, and
the stipulations drawn up for this par-
ticular type of device. In doing this, take
into account the working conditions
and the task in hand.
The use of electrical
power tools for purposes other than those in-
tended can lead to dangerous situations.

5. Use and handling of the cord-

less electrical power tool

a)

Charge a rechargeable battery unit
using only the charger recommended
by the manufacturer.
Chargers are often
designed for a particular type of rechargeable
battery unit. There is the danger of fire if other
types of rechargeable battery units are used.

b)

Only the rechargeable battery units
supplied are to be used with an elec-
trical power tool.
The use of other recharge-
able battery units may lead to the danger of
injury or fire.

c)

When they are not being used, store
rechargeable battery units away from
paperclips, 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 additional medical
help if any of the fluid gets into your
eyes.
Escaping battery fluid may cause skin
irritation or burns.

CAUTION! DANGER OF EXPLOSION!
The batteries must never be recharged!
