5 BATTERY TOOL USE AND CARE
a)
Recharge only with the charger speci-
fied by the 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 power tools only with specifically
designated battery packs.
Use of any
other battery packs may create a risk of in-
jury and fire.
c)
When battery pack is not in use, keep it
away from other metal objects like pa-
per clips, coins, keys, nails, screws, or
other small metal objects that can
make a connection from one terminal to
another.
Shorting the battery terminals to-
gether may cause burns or a fire.
d)
Under abusive conditions, liquid may
be ejected from the battery; avoid con-
tact. 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.

Have your power tool serviced by a
qualified repair person using only iden-
tical replacement parts.
This will ensure
that the safety of the power tool is main-
tained.
Machine-related safety instructions
Harmful/toxic dusts can be produced
during your work (e.g. lead-containing
paint, some types of wood and metal).
Contact with these dusts, especially inhaling
them, can represent a hazard for operating
personnel or persons in the vicinity. Comply
with the safety regulations that apply in
your country. Connect the electric power
tool to a suitable extraction system.
To protect your health, wear a P2 pro-
tective mask.
Always wear protective goggles to pro-
tect against sanding hazards.
Prevent liquid polish from entering the
machine.
The penetration of liquid polish
into the electric power tool increases the risk
of an electric shock.
Metal processing
When processing metal, the following
measures must be taken for safety
reasons:
Install an upstream residual-current cir-
cuit-breaker (FIG, PRCD).
Connect the machine to a suitable dust ex-
tractor.
Regularly remove dust deposits in the mo-
tor housing.
Health hazard by dust
WARNING!
Various dust created by
power sanding, sawing, grinding, drill-
ing and other construction activities
contains chemicals known (to the State of
California) to cause cancer, birth defects or
other reproductive harm. Some examples of
these chemicals are:
lead from lead-based paints,
crystalline silica from bricks and cement
and other masonry products, and
arsenic and chromium from chemical-
lytreated lumber.
The risk from these expo-
sures varies, depending on
how often you do this type
of work. To reduce your ex-
posure to these chemicals:
work in a well ventilated
Wear protective goggles.
