20. Inspect the tool for damage.
Check the following before turning the tool on: that the guards and other parts
are undamaged and working properly, that moving parts can rotate freely and
are correctly aligned, that no moving parts can get caught, that there is no fault
or defect that could affect the performance of the machine. A safety guard or
any other part that is damaged should be repaired by a tradesman or replaced.
Damaged power leads and switches must always be replaced by a tradesman.
Never operate a tool if you cannot stop or start the tool comfortably.
21. Use only recommended accessories.
The use of non-recommended accessories can cause accidents and personal
injury.
22. Power tools should only be repaired by a qualified technician.
The tool conforms to current safety requirements. Repairs to the tool should
only be carried out by a tradesman using original spares; otherwise the tool
could cause accidents and personal injury.
23. Use a Residual Current Device on all 230 V power tools.
This can help minimise the risk of an electric shock if an earth fault or short
circuit occurs. The product must not be modified or used for any other purpose
than that for which it has been designed. Regularly check that all screws and
nuts are tight.
Specific Safety Regulations for Rechargeable Hand Tools
• Only use the charger supplied. The charger is only intended for indoor use.
• Allow a hot battery cool off before charging begins. The temperature when
charging should be around 0 °C – 40 °C, (20 – 25 °C is recommended for best
results).
• If the battery is charged in a temperature below 0 °C it may lead to overcharge
which may damage the tool. The battery cannot be charged in temperatures
above 40°C. The battery gives full effect after 5 charges/discharges.
• Allow the charger to cool off for 15 minutes before charging the next battery.
Do not charge more than 2 batteries in a row without a longer break.
• Make sure that no foreign objects get inside the tool through the battery
opening. Avoid short-circuiting; cover the battery’s terminal contacts with
insulating material if stored separately.
• Never dismantle the rechargeable battery or the charger.
• Make sure that the rechargeable battery does not short-circuit, it may damage
the battery and lead to personal injury in case of an explosion.
• The battery might explode if exposed to fire or high heat. Never dispose of the
battery in fire. Never expose the battery to strong sunlight.
• Check before drilling floors, ceilings, or walls, that there are no hidden electric
cables, water pipes or anything else that may be damaged. Use e.g. a metal
detector.
• Always set the forward/reverse selector to the locked position before changing
tools.
