keys, nails, screws or other small metal objects, that can make a connection from one terminal
to another.
Shorting the battery terminals together may cause burns or a fire.
d) 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.
e) Do not use a battery pack or tool that is damaged or modified. Damaged or modified batteries
may exhibit unpredictable behaviour resulting in fire, explosion or risk of injury.
f) Do not expose a battery pack or tool to fire or excessive temperature.
Exposure to fire or
temperature above 130 °C may cause explosion.
g) Follow all charging instructions and do not charge the battery pack or tool outside the
temperature range specified in the instructions.
Charging improperly or at temperatures outside the
specified range may damage the battery and increase the risk of fire.
6) Service
a) Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair person using only identical replacement
parts.
This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.
b) Never perform maintenance on damaged battery blocks.
Service of battery packs should only be
performed by the manufacturer or authorized service providers.
DRILL SAFETY WARNINGS
1 ) Safety instructions for all operations
a) Wear ear protectors when impact drilling.
Exposure to noise can cause hearing loss.
d) Hold the power tool by insulated gripping surfaces, when performing an operation where
the cutting accessory or fasteners may contact hidden wiring.
Cutting accessory or fasteners
contacting a “live” wire may make exposed metal parts of the power tool “live” and could give the
operator an electric shock.
2) Safety instructions when using long drill bits
a) Never operate at higher speed than the maximum speed rating of the drill bit.
At higher speeds,
the bit is likely to bend if allowed to rotate freely without contacting the workpiece, resulting in personal
injury.
b) Always start drilling at low speed and with the bit tip in contact with the workpiece.
At higher
speeds, the bit is likely to bend if allowed to rotate freely without contacting the workpiece, resulting in
personal injury.
c) Apply pressure only in direct line with the bit and do not apply excessive pressure.
Bits can bend
causing breakage or loss of control, resulting in personal injury.
SAFETY WARNINGS FOR BATTERY PACK
a) Do not dismantle, open or shred cells or battery pack.
b) Do not short-circuit a battery pack. Do not store battery packs haphazardly in a box
or drawer where they may short-circuit each other or be short-circuited by conductive
materials.
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 connection from one terminal to
another. Shorting the battery terminals together may cause burns or a fire.
c) Do not expose battery pack to heat or fire. Avoid storage in direct sunlight.
d) Do not subject battery pack to mechanical shock.
e) In the event of battery leaking, do not allow the liquid to come into contact with the skin or
eyes. If contact has been made, wash the affected area with copious amounts of water and
seek medical advice.
f) Seek medical advice immediately if a cell or battery pack has been swallowed.
g) Keep battery pack clean and dry.
