Safety warnings
7
h) Do not permit yourself to be lulled into a false sense
of security and do not disregard the safety regula
tions for working with power tools, even after
frequent or repeated use has made you familiar with
the power tool.
Carelessness can result in series injuries
within a fraction of a second.
2 .1 .4 Use and handling of the power tool
a) Do not overload the power tool. Use the correct
power tool for the task in hand.
Using the right power
tool for the job will enable you to work better and in
greater safety in the stated performance range.
b) Never use a power tool that has a faulty switch.
A power tool that cannot be switched on or off at the
switch intended for this purpose is dangerous and must
be repaired.
c) Disconnect the plug from the socket outlet and/or
remove the battery pack from the power tool before
making adjustments, changing accessory tools or
laying the power tool aside.
This precaution prevents
accidental starting of the power tool.
d) When not in use, store power tools out of reach of
children. Do not permit anyone to work with the
power tool who is not familiar with it or has not
read and understood these instructions.
Power tools
in the hands of inexperienced persons are dangerous.
e) Keep power tools and accessory tools in good
condition at all times. Check that moving parts are
in full working order and do not jam. Check for parts
that are broken or damaged to the extent that
operation of the power tool is impaired. Have
damaged parts repaired before using the power tool.
Many accidents involving power tools are due to poor
maintenance.
f) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean.
Carefully
maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are
less likely to jam and are easier to control.
g) Use the power tool, accessory tools, etc. in
accordance with these instructions. Take working
conditions and the task to be undertaken into
account in this respect.
Using power tools for other
than the intended use can lead to hazardous situations.
h) Keep handles and gripping surfaces dry, clean and
free of oil and grease.
Slippery handles and gripping
surfaces do not permit safe operation and control of the
power tool in unexpected situations.
2 .1 .5 Safety instructions for battery packs
If handled incorrectly, lithium-ion battery packs can
explode, catch fire and release toxic gases, and also
cause caustic burns or poisonings.
a) Comply with the manufacturer’s instructions for use
and storage of the battery pack.
The manufacturer’s
instructions are in the enclosed manufacturer’s
document for the battery pack.
b) Protect the battery pack from moisture. Do not dip
the battery pack into liquids.
Contact with liquids
can cause damage that in some cases lead only hours
or days later to the development of heat or smoke, or
ignition or explosion of the battery pack.
c) Do not expose the battery pack to fire or heat.
Fire or
temperatures above 130 °C can lead to fire or explosion
of the battery pack.
d) Never place charger and connected battery packs on
flammable or conductive surfaces. Never operate in
the vicinity of flammable material or gases.
Do not
leave the battery pack unattended while charging is in
progress. Read the instructions for the charger attentively
before charging.
e) Do not use damaged, deformed or altered battery
packs.
Damaged, deformed or altered battery packs
might have changed properties that can lead to fire,
explosion, escape of liquids or injuries. If used incorrectly
or if the battery packs are faulty, a slightly acidic, flam-
mable fluid may escape. Avoid contact with this fluid.
Escaping battery fluid can cause skin irritation and burns.
f) Keep the battery pack in a dry, dark and frostfree
location.
This protects the battery pack from premature
ageing and discharge.
g) Do not open or disassemble battery packs.
Opening
or disassembling the battery pack can alter or disable
built-in safety and protective features.
h) Charge battery packs only in chargers of the battery
pack system approved for these battery packs.
Fire
hazard and explosion hazard if any attempt is made to
charge battery packs on chargers not recommended for
them.
i) Follow the instructions for charging and never
charge the battery pack outside the temperature
range stated in the operating instructions.
Incorrect
charging or charging outside the permitted temperature
range can destroy the battery pack and increase the fire
hazard.
j) Shortcircuits can cause burns or start fires.
To prevent
short-circuit, when the battery pack is not installed in
the tool keep the contacts of the battery pack covered
by installing the protective cap included in the scope of
supply or by applying a strip of insulating tape.
k) Avoid blows and impacts and penetration by objects.
Incidents of this nature can lead to leakages,
development of heat or smoke, ignition or explosion.
l) Use only the manufacturer’s genuine battery packs.
The use of other-make battery packs and other-make
chargers can lead to safety risks, such as fire hazard or
explosion hazard.
m) Dispose of faulty or endoflife battery packs only by
handing them in at the appropriate collection points.
These are sales outlets for batteries and battery packs,
or local-authority collection points for hazardous waste.
