• Using batteries incorrectly can cause the battery fluid to leak. Avoid
contact with battery fluid. If you get battery fluid on your skin, rinse your
skin immediately with water. Seek medical help if you get battery fluid
in your eyes. Battery fluid irritates skin and can cause burn injuries.
• Check that the power tool is switched off before you connect the battery.
There is a risk of personal injury if the switch is in the on position
when you connect the battery.
• Remove the plug from the electricity socket when you clean the batter
charger.
• Do not expose the battery to strong sunlight for long periods. Do not
leave batteries on hot surfaces, e.g. a heater or radiator. Heat damages
batteries and leads to a risk of explosion.
