5.1 GENERAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR POWER TOOL USE
Warning:
Read all safety warnings and all instructions. Failure to follow the warnings and
instructions may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.
Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.
The term “power tool” in the warnings refers to your mains operated (corded) power tool or
battery-operated (cordless) power tool.
Electrical safety
a) Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use any
adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools. Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will
reduce risk of electric shock.
b) Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges and
refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is earthed or grounded.
c) Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase
the risk of electric shock.
d) Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging the power tool.
Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords
increase the risk of electric shock.
e) When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of
a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.
f) If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a residual current device
(RCD) protected supply. Use of an RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.
Personal safety
a) Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a power tool. Do
not use a power tool while you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication.
A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.
b) Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection. Protective equipment such as
dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for appropriate
conditions will reduce personal injuries.
c) Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the off position before connecting to
power source and/or battery pack, picking up or carrying the tool. Carrying power tools with
your finger on the switch or energising power tools that have the switch on invites accidents.
d) Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the power tool on. A wrench or a key left
attached to a rotating part of the power tool may result in personal injury.
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.

9. OPERATION AND USE
9.1 BATTERY CHARGING - FIG. 2
WARNING!
Ensure the worklamp is turned off
before charging.
–
Insert the transformer's jack plug from either
the 230V AC charger or 12V DC charger
into the power input socket
(the input
socket is fitted with a protective rubber dust
cap
. Flip open to gain access to the
socket).
–
Plug the 230V AC charger into a 230V~13
amp 3 pin socket. If using the 12V DC
charger, plug into an appropriate 12V output
socket.
The LED charger indicator will illuminate
red for approx. 3 hours or until the charging
indicator turns green. When the battery is
low the indicator will flash red.
Lithium-ion cells prefer small charges often.
Lithium-ion technology is lightweight and
compact due to increased capacity in
comparison to other battery chemistries.
Lithium-ion cells have no 'memory effect' and a
long cycle life with outstanding discharge
performance.
Lithium-ion cells suffer from a loss in capacity
or thermal runaway if over charged and will
degrade if allowed to enter deep discharge,
however all of these situations are negated
due to the complex circuitry incorporated within
this product.
Charging must be carried out in an
environment with an ambient air temperature
between 5°C to 45°C.
ATTENTION:
If the cable is damaged or the
non-self-resetting protective device is activated
due to short circuit/overload the transformer
shall be scrapped. A replacement of identical
specification, design and application shall be
obtained.
NOTE:
Charging the unit with the 12V DC
charger via a vehicle socket will drain the
vehicle’s battery unless the engine is running.
