b) Avoid bodily contact with earthed sur-
faces such as pipes, heating, ovens and
fridges.
The risk of electric shock is increa-
sed if your body is earthed.
c) Keep the tool out of water and away
from moisture.
The ingress of water into an
electric tool increases the risk of an electric
shock.
d) Do not use the power cable to carry the
electric tool, to hang it up or to pull it out
of the socket. Keep the cable away from
heat, oil, sharp edges and moving parts
of the appliance.
Damaged or entangled
cables increase the risk of an electric shock.
e) If you are working outdoors with an elec-
tric tool, only use extension cables which
are designed specifically for this purpose.
Using specially designed outdoor extension
cables, the risk of electric shock is reduced.
f) If operation of the electric tool in a damp
environment can not be avoided, use a
earth-leakage circuit-breaker.
The earth-
leakage circuit-breaker reduces the risk of an
electric shock.
3. Safety of persons
a) Be careful, watch what you are doing and
use an electric tool sensibly. Do not use
the tool if you are tired or under the influ
-
ence of drugs, alcohol or medication.
A
moment of distraction when using the electric
tool can result in serious injuries.
b) Wear personal protection equipment
and always wear safety goggles.
Wearing
personal protection (such as dust masks,
non-slip safety shoes, safety helmet or ear
protection, depending upon the type and use
of the electric tool) reduces the risk of injury.
c) Make sure that the appliance cannot start
up accidentally. Ensure that the electric
tool is switched off before you connect
it to the power supply and/or insert the
battery, or pick up or carry the tool.
If your
finger is on the switch whilst carrying the elec
-
tric tool or if you connect the appliance to the
mains when it is switched on, this can lead to
accidents.
d) Remove keys and wrenches before swit-
ching on the electric tool.
A tool or key
which comes into contact with rotating parts
of the appliance can lead to injuries.
e) Avoid abnormal working postures. Make
sure you stand squarely and keep your
balance at all times.
In this way, you can
control the electric tool better in unexpected
circumstances.
f) Wear suitable work clothes. Do not wear
loose clothing or jewellery. Keep hair, clo-
thes and gloves away from moving parts.
Loose clothing, jewellery or long hair can get
trapped in moving parts.
g) If vacuuming devices and draining de-
vices can be fitted, make sure that these
are correctly attached and correctly used.
The use of a dust extraction system can redu-
ce the danger posed by dust.
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 gi-
ven performance boundaries.
b) Do not use an electric tool with a defec-
tive 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 ad-
justments to the appliance, changing ac-
cessories 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 dange-
rous 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 affec
-
ted. Damaged parts must be repaired be-
fore 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, accesso-
ries, spare parts, etc. in accordance with
these instructions. Take the conditions
in your work area and the job to perform
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) 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.
b) Use only the correct batteries in the elec-
tric tools.
The use of other batteries may
result in injuries and a fire risk.
c) 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 cir-
cuit between the battery contacts may cause
burns or a fire.
d) In case of incorrect use, fluid may escape
from the battery. Avoid contact with it. If
you touch it by accident, rinse the affec
-
ted 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 and/or the authorized
service agent, using only genuine spare
parts
. This will ensure that your electric tool
remains safe to use.
Special safety information
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 den-
sity, durability and safety. The battery cells have
a wide range of safety devices. Each individual
cell is initially formatted and its electrical charac-
teristic 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 exer-
cised when handling batteries. The following
points must be obeyed at all times to ensure
safe use.
Safe use can only be guaranteed if undama-
ged 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.
