4. Usage and treatment of the electric tool
a) Do not overload the appliance. Use the
correct tool for your work.
You will be able to
work better and more safely within the given
performance boundaries.
b) Do not use an electric tool with a defective
switch.
An electric tool that cannot be switched
on or off is dangerous and must be repaired.
c) Pull the plug out of the socket and/or remove
the battery before making any adjustments to
the appliance, changing accessories or put
the appliance down.
This safety measure
prevents starting the electric tool unintentionally.
d) Keep unused electric tools out of the reach of
children. Do not allow people who are not
familiar with the appliance or who have not
read these instructions to use the appliance.
Electric tools are dangerous if they are used by
inexperienced people.
e) Clean your electric tool carefully. Check
whether moving parts are functioning
properly and not jamming, whether parts are
broken or damaged enough that the
functioning of this electric tool is affected.
Have damaged parts repaired before using
the appliance.
Many accidents are caused by
badly maintained electric tools.
f)
Keep your cutting tools sharp and clean
.
Carefully maintained cutting tools with sharp
cutting edges will jam less and are easier to
control.
g) Make sure to use electric tools, accessories,
attachments, etc. in accordance with these
instructions. Take the conditions in your work
area and the job in hand into account.
Using
electric tools for any purpose other than the one
for which they are intended can lead to dangerous
situations.
5. Using and handling the cordless tool
a) Ensure that the tool is switched off before
you insert the battery.
Inserting a battery into an
electric tool that is switched on can cause
accidents.
b) Only charge the batteries in chargers that are
recommended by the manufacturer.
A charger
that is designed for a certain type of battery may
pose a fire risk if it is used with other types of
battery.
c) Use only the correct batteries in the electric
tools.
The use of other batteries may result in
injuries and a fire risk.
d) Keep unused batteries away from paper clips,
coins, keys, nails, screws and other metallic
objects that could cause a short circuit
between the contacts.
A short circuit between
the battery contacts may cause burns or a fire.
e) In case of incorrect use, fluid may escape
from the battery. Avoid contact with it. If you
touch it by accident, rinse the affected area
with water. If you get the fluid in your eyes,
also seek medical advice.
Leaking battery fluid
can cause skin irritation or burns.
6. Service
a) Have your electric tool repaired only by
trained personnel using only genuine spare
parts.
This will ensure that your electric tool
remains safe to use.
Hold the equipment by the insulated handles
when carrying out work during which the screw
or the plug-in tool could strike concealed power
cables.
Contact with a live cable may also make the
metal parts of the equipment live and cause an
electric shock.
Additional safety instructions
We pay a great deal of attention to the design of every
battery pack to ensure that we supply you with
batteries which feature maximum power density,
durability and safety. The battery cells have a wide
range of safety devices. Each individual cell is initially
formatted and its electrical characteristic curves are
recorded. These data are then used exclusively to be
able to assemble the best possible battery packs.
Despite all the safety precautions, caution must
always be exercised when handling batteries. The
following points must be obeyed at all times to
ensure safe use.
Safe use can only be guaranteed if undamaged
cells are used. Incorrect handling can cause cell
damage.
Important:
Analyses confirm that incorrect use and
poor care are the main causes of the damage caused
by high performance batteries.
Information about the battery
1. The battery pack supplied with your cordless tool
is not charged. The battery pack has to be
charged before you use the tool for the first time.
2. The battery pack does not reach its maximum
capacitance until it has been charged and
discharged approximately five times. Battery
packs lose their charge even when they are not
being used (Ni-Cd: approx. 20% per month, Ni-
Mh: approx. 30% per month). You should therefore
charge the batteries regularly before they suffer
exhaustive discharge. The useful capacity of
batteries will fall steadily if they are only ever
