3) SPECIAL SAFETY DIRECTIONS FOR

BATTERY-OPERATED TOOLS

a) Ensure that the device is switched off

before inserting the battery. Inserting a
battery into a power tool that is switched
on may result in accidents.

because the battery charger is de-
signed for indoor use only.

c) To reduce the electric shock hazard,

unplug the battery charger from the
mains before cleaning the charger.

d) Do not subject the battery to strong

sunlight over long periods and do not
leave it on a heater. Heat damages the
battery and there is a risk of explosion.

e) Allow a hot battery to cool before

charging.

f) Do not open up the battery and avoid

mechanical damage to the battery.
Risk of short circuit and fumes may be
emitted that irritate the respiratory tract.
