before making any adjustments, changing
accessories, or storing power tools. Such
preventive safety measures reduce the risk of
starting the power tool accidentally.
Store idle power tools out of the reach of
children and do not allow persons unfa-
miliar with the power tool or these instruc-
tions to operate the power tool. Power tools
are dangerous in the hands of untrained us-
ers.
Maintain power tools. Check for misalign-
ment or binding of moving parts, breakage
of parts and any other condition that may
affect the power tool’s operation. If dam-
aged, have the power tool repaired before
use. Many accidents are caused by poorly
maintained power tools.
Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Prop-
erly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting
edges are less likely to bind and are easier to
control.
Use the power tool, accessories and tool
bits etc. in accordance with these instruc-
tions, taking into account the working con-
ditions and the work to be performed. Use
of the power tool for operations different from
those intended could result in a hazardous
situation.
Battery tool use and care
Recharge only with the charger specified
by the manufacturer. A charger that is suit-
able for one type of battery pack may create
a risk of fire when used with another battery
pack.
Use power tools only with specifically des-
ignated battery packs. Use of any other bat-
tery packs may create a risk of injury and fire.
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 con-
nection from one terminal to another.
Shorting the battery terminals together may
cause burns or a fire.
Under abusive conditions, liquid may be
ejected from the battery; avoid contact.
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.
Service
Have your power tool serviced by a quali-
fied repair person using only identical re-
placement parts. This will ensure that the
safety of the power tool is maintained.
Safety Rules for Industrial Cordless Angle Wrenches
Hold power tool by insulated gripping
surfaces, when performing an operation
where the fastener may contact hidden
wiring or its own cord. Fasteners contacting
a “live” wire may make exposed metal parts of
the power tool “live” and could give the opera-
tor an electric shock.
Use appropriate detectors to determine
if utility lines are hidden in the work area
or call the local utility company for assis-
tance. Contact with electric lines can lead to
fire and electric shock. Damaging a gas line
can lead to explosion. Penetrating a water line
causes property damage.
Switch off the power tool immediately
when the tool insert jams. Be prepared for
high reaction torque that can cause kick-
back. The tool insert jams when:
— the power tool is subject to overload or
— it becomes wedged in the workpiece.
Hold the tool with a firm grip. High reaction
torque can briefly occur while driving in and
loosening screws.
Secure the workpiece. A workpiece clamped
with clamping devices or in a vice is held more
secure than by hand.
Always wait until the tool has come to a
complete stop before placing it down. The
tool insert can jam and lead to loss of control
over the power tool.
Before any work on the tool (e. g., mainte-
nance, tool change, etc.) as well as during
transport and storage, set the rotational
direction switch to the centre position. Un-
intentional actuation of the On/Off switch can
lead to injuries.
Avoid unintentional switching on. Ensure
the On/Off switch is in the off position be-
fore inserting battery pack. Carrying the
power tool with your finger on the On/Off
switch or inserting the battery pack into power
tools that have the switch on invites accidents.
Use only flawless tool bits that are not
worn. Defective tool bits can break, for exam-
ple, and cause injury or damage.
