POWX0057 EN

 If contact accidentally occurs, flush with water. If liquid contacts eyes, additionally seek

6 ADDITIONAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR BATTERIES AND

CHARGERS

6.1 Batteries

 Never attempt to open for any reason.

 Do not store in locations where the temperature may exceed 40 °C.

 Charge only at ambient temperatures between 4 °C and 40 °C.

 Charge only using the charger provided with the tool.

 When disposing of batteries, follow the instructions given in the section “Protecting the

environment”.

 Do not cause short circuits. If connection is made between the positive (+) and negative (-)

terminal directly or via accidental contact with metallic objects, the battery is short circuited

and an intense current will flow causing heat generation which may lead to casing rupture

or fire.

 Do not heat. If batteries are heated to above 100 °C, sealing and insulating separators

and other polymer components may be damaged resulting in electrolyte leakage and/or

internal short circuiting leading to heat generation causing rupture or file. Moreover do not

dispose of the batteries in fire, explosion and/or intense burning may result.

 Under extreme conditions, battery leakage may occur. When you notice liquid on the

battery, proceed as follows:

- Carefully wipe the liquid off using a cloth. Avoid skin contact.

- In case of skin or eye contact, follow the instructions below:

 Immediately rinse with water. Neutralize with a mild acid such as lemon

juice or vinegar.

 In case of eye contact, rinse abundantly with clean water for at least 10

minutes. Consult a physician.

Fire hazard! Avoid short-circuiting the contacts of a detached battery. Do

not incinerate the battery.

6.2 Charger

 Use the charger provided with the tool only to charge the battery

 Never attempt to charge non-rechargeable batteries.

 Have defective cords replaced immediately.
