ADDITIONAL BATTERY SAFETY WARNINGS
WARNING
To reduce the risk of
fi
re, personal injury, and product
damage due to a short circuit, never immerse your
tool, battery pack or charger in
fl
uid or allow a
fl
uid to
fl
ow inside them. Corrosive or conductive
fl
uids, such
as seawater, certain industrial chemicals, and bleach
or bleach-containing products, etc., can cause a short
circuit.
TRANSPORTING LITHIUM BATTERIES
Transport the battery in accordance with local and national
provisions and regulations.
Follow all special requirements on packaging and labelling
when transporting batteries by a third party. Ensure that
no batteries can come in contact with other batteries
or conductive materials while in transport by protecting
exposed connectors with insulating, non-conductive caps
or tape. Do not transport batteries that are cracked or
leaking. Check with the forwarding company for further
advice.
RESIDUAL RISKS
even when the product is used as prescribed, it is still
impossible to completely eliminate certain residual risk
factors. The following hazards may arise and the operator
should pay special attention to avoid the following:
■
Damage to hearing
Note:
Always wear effective hearing protection and limit
exposure to noise.
■
Injury to the eyes caused by incorrectly driven fasteners
or flying dust and debris.
Note:
Always wear suitable eye protection.
■
Injury caused by vibration
Note:
Hold the product by designated handles and limit
exposure to vibration. See Risk Reduction.
■
Lacerations caused by contact with sharp points.
Note:
Take extra care when handling or loading
fasteners.
■
The product is heavy.
Note: The product is heavy. Beware of muscle strain
when operating the product for extended periods,
especially if using overhead.
RISK REDUCTION
It has been reported that vibrations from handheld tools
may contribute to a condition called Raynaud’s Syndrome
in certain individuals. Symptoms may include tingling,
numbness and blanching of the
fi
ngers, usually apparent
upon exposure to cold. Hereditary factors, exposure to
cold and dampness, diet, smoking, and work practices
are all thought to contribute to the development of these
symptoms. There are measures that can be taken by the
operator to possibly reduce the effects of vibration:
■
Keep your body warm in cold weather. When operating
the product, wear gloves to keep the hands and wrists
warm. It is reported that cold weather is a major factor
contributing to Raynaud’s Syndrome.
■
After each period of operation, exercise to increase
blood circulation.
■
Take frequent work breaks. Limit the amount of
exposure per day.
If you experience any of the symptoms of this condition,
immediately discontinue use and see your doctor about
these symptoms.
WARNING
Injuries may be caused, or aggravated, by prolonged
use of a tool. When using any tool for prolonged periods,
ensure you take regular breaks.
