SAFETY REGULATIONS

This appliance can be used by children aged from 8 years and above and persons with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities or lack of experience and knowledge if they have been given supervision or instructions concerning use of the appliance in a safe way and understand the hazards involved. Children shall not play with the appliance. Cleaning and user maintenance shall not be made by children without supervision. Keep these instructions for future reference! It is important to read and understand the instructions provided in this manual in order to avoid serious injuries, fire hazards, explosions and dangers from electric shocks and electric arcs:

BATTERY

• Use power tools only with specifically designated battery pack. Use of any other battery packs may create a risk of injury or fire.

• Make sure that the machine is switched off before inserting the battery. Inserting a battery in a machine which is switched on can cause a fire.

• Always remove the battery pack before cleaning, inspecting or servicing the tool.

• Do not use a battery pack or tool that is damaged or modified. Damaged or modified batteries may exhibit unpredictable behaviour resulting in fire, explosion or risk of injury.

• Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from battery.
  Electrolytes released from battery pack chemical leakage are corrosive and toxic. Liquid ejected from the battery may cause irritation or burns. Do NOT allow chemical substances to come into contact with eyes, skin and, above all, do not ingest them. If chemicals in the battery come into contact with the eyes, wash them immediately with clean water for at least 15 minutes. Seek medical care immediately. If the outer seal breaks and chemicals in the battery come into contact with the skin: wash immediately with soap and water, neutralise with lemon juice, vinegar or other mild acids.

• Stop using the battery if it produces unusual smells, becomes hot or changes colour/shape and looks abnormal. If the battery pack cracks or breaks, with or without chemical leakage, do not recharge or use it.
  DO NOT ATTEMPT TO REPAIR IT!
  In order to avoid accidents and risks of fire, explosion or electric shock and to prevent damage to the environment:

  • Cover the battery terminals with strong adhesive tape.
  • DO NOT attempt to remove or destroy any part of the battery pack.
  • DO NOT attempt to open the battery pack.
  • Dispose of and replace it with a new battery pack.

• When battery pack is not in use, keep it away from other metal objects, like paper clips, coins, keys, nails, screws or other small metal objects, that can make a connection from one terminal to another. Shorting the battery terminals together may cause burns or a fire.

• Do not expose the battery to fresh or salt water.

• Do not expose a battery pack or tool to fire or excessive temperature. Exposure to fire or temperature above 130 °C may cause explosion. Always keep it at a normal room temperature.

• The cells in the battery pack may leak if used too much or at extreme temperatures.

• Do not attempt to short-circuit the battery pack terminals. Do not switch the negative and positive battery terminals. Do not connect the positive and negative terminals of the battery to metal objects.

• When transporting accumulators, make sure the contacts never come into contact with each other and never use metal containers to transport them.

• Do not disassemble the battery.

• Do not hit, tap or stand on the battery.

• Never service damaged battery packs. Service of battery packs should only be performed by the manufacturer or authorized service providers.

BATTERY CHARGER
The charger is designed for rechargeable lithium-ion batteries. Do not charge non-rechargeable batteries. Some other types of batteries may explode, resulting in personal injury and property damage.

• Recharge only with the charger specified 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.
• Do not recharge the battery pack in rain or humid conditions.
• Do not immerse the tool, battery pack or charger in water or other liquids.
• Do not allow liquid to get inside the charger.
• The charger shall not be exposed to dripping or splashing, and no liquid container, such as pots, shall be placed above the charger.
• Never use the battery charger in environments in the presence of vapours, flammable substances or on easily flammable surfaces such as paper, fabric, etc. The battery charger heats up during recharging and may cause a fire.
• Do not let the battery pack or charger overheat. If they are hot, let them cool down before use.
• Charge only at room temperature, between 0° + 45°C. Do not charge the battery pack or tool outside the specified temperature range. Charging improperly or at temperatures outside the specified range may damage the battery and increase the risk of fire.
• Do not probe the charger with conductive materials.
• Do not use the charger for other purposes than those specified in this manual.
• Do not cover the ventilation grids on the top of the charger. Do not place the charger on a soft surface such as a blanket or pillow. Keep the ventilation grids of the charger clean.
• Prevent small metal objects or materials such as steel wool, aluminium foil, or other extraneous particles from entering the charger cavities.
• Do not attempt to connect two chargers at the same time.
• Before use, check that the output voltage and current of the battery charger are suitable for charging the battery pack.
• If the output polarity does not match the charging polarity, Do not use the charger.
• Do not open the cover under any circumstances. If the cover is damaged, the charger can no longer be used.
• The charger external flexible cable cannot be replaced; if the cable is damaged, the whole charger must be disposed of.
• The line voltage can be disconnected by pulling the mains socket.
• Before using the charger, check the available voltage in each country.
• Do not mount the charger on the wall. Place it on a flat, solid surface.

ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AND DISPOSAL
The following toxic and corrosive materials are found within the battery pack used with this tool: Lithium-ion is a toxic material.

All toxic materials should be disposed of properly to prevent environmental contamination. Before disposing of damaged or broken lithium-ion battery packs, contact your local waste disposal agency or the local Environmental Protection Agency for specific information and instructions.

Dispose of batteries in a certified lithium-ion recycling and/or disposal facility.

• Do not dispose of batteries with domestic waste.
• Do not burn.
• Do not place batteries where they could become part of a local waste landfill or municipal solid waste.
• Take them to an authorized recycling centre.

Do not throw electrical equipment away with domestic waste. In observance of European Directive 2012/19/EU on electrical and electronic equipment waste and its implementation, in observance of UK Regulation “The waste electrical and electronic equipment regulations 2013 (as amended)” and in accordance with national regulations, electrical equipment that has reached the end of its product life must be collected separately and recycled in an ecologically compatible way. If electrical equipment is disposed of in dumps or in landfills, hazardous substances can leak into the groundwater and contaminate the food chain, damaging your health and well-being. For further information on the disposal of this product, contact your dealer or a domestic waste collection service.

At the end of their working life, dispose of batteries paying due attention to the environment. Batteries contain material classified as hazardous for you and the environment. They must be removed and disposed of separately at a facility that accepts lithium-ion batteries. Separate waste collection of the products and packaging used allows the materials to be recycled and reused. Reuse of recycled materials help to prevent environmental pollution and reduces the demand for raw materials.
