5. HEALTH AND SAFETY INFORMATION
- 10 -
- 15 -
Keep bystanders a safe distance away from work area. Anyone entering the work area must
wear personal protective equipment.
Fragments of workpiece or of a broken accessory may fly
away and cause injury beyond immediate area of operation.
Never lay the power tool down until the accessory has come to a complete stop.
The spinning
accessory may grab the surface and pull the power tool out of your control.
Do not run the power tool while carrying it at your side.
Accidental contact with the spinning
accessory could snag your clothing, pulling the accessory into your body.
Regularly clean the power tool's air vents.
The motor's fan will draw the dust inside the housing
and excessive accumulation of powdered metal may cause electrical hazards.
Do not operate the power tool near flammable materials.
Sparks could ignite these materials.
Do not use accessories that require liquid coolants.
Using water or other liquid coolants may result
in electrocution or shock.
Kickback and Related Warnings
Kickback is a sudden reaction to a pinched or snagged rotating wheel, backing pad, brush or any other
accessory. Pinching or snagging causes rapid stalling of the rotating accessory which in turn causes
the uncontrolled power tool to be forced in the direction opposite of the accessory's rotation at the
point of the binding.
For example, if an abrasive wheel is snagged or pinched by the workpiece, the edge of the wheel that
is entering into the pinch point can dig into the surface of the material causing the wheel to climb out or
kick out. The wheel may either jump toward or away from the operator, depending on direction of the
wheel's movement at the point of pinching. Abrasive wheels may also break under these conditions.
Kickback is the result of power tool misuse and/or incorrect operating procedures or conditions and
can be avoided by taking proper precautions as given below.
– Maintain a firm grip on the power tool and position your body and arm to allow you to resist
kickback forces. Always use auxiliary handle, if provided, for maximum control over
kickback or torque reaction during start-up.
The operator can control torque reactions or
kickback forces, if proper precautions are taken.
– Never place your hand near the rotating accessory.
Accessory may kickback over your hand.
– Do not position your body in the area where power tool will move if kickback occurs.
Kickback will propel the tool in direction opposite to the wheel's movement at the point of snagging.
– Use special care when working corners, sharp edges etc. Avoid bouncing and snagging the
accessory.
Corners, sharp edges or bouncing have a tendency to snag the rotating accessory and
cause loss of control or kickback.
– Do not attach a saw chain woodcarving blade or toothed saw blade.
Such blades create
frequent kickback and loss of control.
– Do not allow any loose portion of the polishing bonnet or its attachment strings to spin
freely. Tuck away or trim any loose attachment strings.
Loose and spinning attachment strings
can entangle your fingers or snag on the workpiece.
5.4 RESIDUAL RISK
Important note:
Although the safety instructions and operating manuals for our tools contain
extensive instructions of safe working with power tools, every power tool involves a certain residual
risk which can not be completely excluded by safety mechanisms. Power tools must therefore always
be operated with caution!
– Recharge the battery packs before they become completely exhausted.
– When you feel that the power of the tool becomes weaker, stop using the tool and recharge the battery
pack. If you continue to use the tool and exhaust the electric current, the battery pack may become
damaged.
– Avoid recharging at high temperatures. A rechargeable battery pack will be hot immediately after use.
If such a battery pack is recharged immediately after use, its internal chemical substance will
deteriorate and the battery life will be shortened. Leave the battery pack and recharge it after it has
cooled for a while.
– The battery pack should only be used and/or charged when battery pack temperature is between 5°C
and 30°C.
– The battery pack needs to be warmed-up or cooled down in order to prevent damage to the batteries
internal components.
Note:
Failure to warm up or cool down a battery pack could result in serious damage to the battery,
charger and user.
Warning:
If any of the following occurs, unplug the charger from the power supply socket outlet and
replace the battery pack
• None of the indicators illuminate.
Disconnect battery charger from the power supply.
Caution:
Do not pull the plug out of the power supply by pulling on the cord. Make sure to grasp the plug
when removing from power supply to avoid damaging the cord.
Remove the battery from the battery charger.
Supporting the battery charger with hand, pull out the battery from the battery charger
Caution:
When the battery charger has been continuously used, the battery charger will be hot.
Once the charging has been completed, give 15 minutes rest until the next charge.
If the battery is charged when it is warm due to battery use or exposure to sunlight, the battery will not be
recharged. In such a case, let the battery cool before charge.
If the red indicator flickers rapidly at 0.2 - second intervals, check for and take out any foreign objects in
the charger's battery slot. If there are no foreign objects, it is probable that the battery or charger is
malfunctioning. Allow battery/charger to normalise and try again. If a fault remains after trying this then
contact Draper Tools.
How to make the batteries perform longer.
Recharge the batteries before they become completely exhausted.
When you feel that the power of the tool becomes weaker, stop using the tool and recharge the battery.
If you continue to use the tool and exhaust the electric current, the battery may become damaged.
Avoid recharging at high temperatures.
A rechargeable battery will be hot immediately after use. If such a battery is recharged immediately after
use, its internal chemical substance will deteriorate, and the battery life will be shortened. Leave the
battery and recharge it after it has cooled for a while.
