Appliance-specific safety guidelines
for cordless ratchets
■
Hold the appliance using the insulated handle
areas if you are carry out any work during
which the attached tool could
contact hidden
power cables.
Contact with a live cable may
also cause metal parts of the appliance to
become live and may result in an electric shock.
■
Secure the workpiece.
A workpiece securely
held by a clamping device or vice is much safer
than one held in your hand.
■
Hold the power tool firmly.
High reaction
moments can occur for short periods while
tightening and loosening bolts.
■
Switch the power off immediately if the tool
being used blocks.
Always be prepared for
high reaction moments which can cause kickback.
■
While maintenance the appliance, always
remove the battery pack of the appliance.
This prevents the power tool from starting up
unintentionally.
■
CAUTION, POWER CABLES! DANGER!
Ensure that you are not likely to contact power,
gas or water supply lines when you are working
with the power tool.
Original accessories/auxiliary
equipment
■
Use only the additional equipment and acces-
sories specified in the operating instructions.
Using attachments or accessory tools other than
those recommended in the operating instructions
can lead to a risk of injury.
Before first use
Removing/charging/inserting the
battery pack
NOTE
►
The battery is supplied partially charged.
Before first use, charge the battery in the
charger for at least 1 hour. This guarantees
full battery power. You can charge the lithium-
ion battery at any time without shortening its
service life. Interrupting the charging process
does not damage the battery.
CAUTION!
►
Always unplug the appliance before you
remove the battery pack from or connect the
battery pack to the charger.
■
Never charge the battery pack when the
ambient temperature is below 10°C or above
40°C.
♦
To remove the battery pack, press the release
button and pull the battery pack out of
the appliance.
♦
Insert the battery pack into the high-speed
charger .
♦
Insert the mains plug into the mains power
socket. The control LED will light up red.
♦
The green charging status indicator LED shows
you when the charging process is complete and
the battery pack is ready for operation.
♦
Insert the battery pack back into the appliance.
■
Never recharge a battery pack again immediately
after rapid charging. This could overcharge the
battery pack, thus reducing the lifespan of the
battery and charger.
♦
You should always switch the high-speed charger
off for at least 15 minutes between succes-
sive charging processes. Simply disconnect the
power plug from the mains power socket.
