power tools that cannot be controlled using a trigger/
switch are dangerous and must be repaired.
c) Before making any adjustments, replacing accesso-
ries or before storing the power tool, it is necessary
to pull the power plug out of the power socket and/
or remove the battery pack out of the power tool, if
it is removable.
These preventative safety measures
limit the danger of accidentally starting the power tool.
d)
When not used, the power tool must be
stored out of children‘s reach, and persons
not acquainted with the power tool or these
instructions must not be permitted to use
the power tool.
A power tool in the hands of inex-
perienced users is dangerous.
e)
Power tools and accessories need to be main-
tained. It is necessary to check the adjus
-
tment of moving parts and their movement;
focus on cracks, broken parts or any other
circumstances that may threaten the proper
operation of the power tool. If the power
tool is damaged, it is necessary to have it
repaired before using it again.
Many accidents
are caused by insufficiently maintained power tools.
f)
It is necessary to keep cutting power tools
clean and sharp.
Correctly maintained and sharpe-
ned cutting power tools are less likely to get stuck on
material or to jam and they are also easier to control.
g)
It is necessary to use power tools, accesso
-
ries, working tools, etc. in accordance with
these instructions and in such a manner as
prescribed for the specific power tool with
respect to the given work conditions and the
type of work being performed.
Using power
tools for tasks other than for which they are designed
may lead to dangerous situations.
h)
Handles and grip surfaces must be kept dry,
clean and free of grease.
Slippery handles and
grip surfaces do not ensure a safe grip and control
over the power tool in unexpected situations.
5) OPERATING AND MAINTAINING
CORDLESS POWER TOOLS
a)
The power tool charge only using the charger
specified by the manufacturer.
A charger that
may be suitable for one type of battery pack, may lead
to a fire hazard if used with a different battery pack.
b)
Only use the tool with a battery pack that is
explicitly determined for the given tool.
Using any
other battery pack may create a accident or fire hazard.
c)
When the battery pack is not being used, protect
it against contact with other metal items such
as paper clips, coins, keys, nails, screws or other
small metal items that could make a connection
between both battery contacts.
Short circuiting the
battery contacts may cause burns or a fire.
d)
Incorrect use may cause liquids to leak out
of the battery; avoid coming into contact
with them. In the event of accidental con
-
tact with these liquids, rinse the affected
area with water. In the event that the liquid
enters the eye, seek medical help.
Liquids
leaking from the battery may cause inflammations
or burns.
e)
A battery pack or power tool that is
damaged or modified, must not be used.
Damaged or modified batteries may behave errati-
cally, which may result in a fire, an explosion or an
injury hazard.
f)
Battery packs or power tools must not be expo-
sed to a fire or excessive heat.
Exposure to fire or
a temperature exceeding 130°C may result in an explosion.
g)
It is necessary to adhere to all battery
charging instructions and not to charge the
battery pack or power tool outside the tempe-
rature range specified in this user‘s manual.
Incorrect charging, or charging at temperatures
outside the specified range may damage the battery
and increase the risk of fire.
6) SERVICE
a)
Have your cordless power tool repaired by
a qualified person using identical spare parts.
This will ensure that the same level of safety will be
achieved as before the repair of the power tool.
b)
Damaged battery packs must never be
repaired.
The battery pack should only be repaired
by the manufacturer or at an authorised service centre.
must never be modified in anyway. Socket
adapters must not be used with power tools
that have a safety earth grounding connec-
tion.
Power plugs that are not damaged by modifi-
cations and that correspond to the power socket will
limit the danger of injury by electrical shock.
b)
The user‘s body must not come into contact
with grounded objects, such as pipes, central
heating radiators, stoves and refrigerators.
The risk of injury by electrical shock is greater when
your body is in contact with the ground.
c)
Power tools must never be exposed to rain, mois-
ture or wetness.
The entry of water into the power tool
increases the danger of injury by electrical shock.
d)
The flexible power cord must not be used for
any other purposes. Power tools must not be
carried or pulled by the power cord, nor may
the power plug be disconnected by pulling
on the power cord. The power cord must be
protected against heat, grease, sharp edges
or moving parts.
Damaged or tangled power cords
increase the danger of injury by electrical shock.
e)
If the power tool is used outdoors, an exten
-
sion cord suitable for outdoor use must be
used.
Using extension cords designed for outdoor
use, limits the risk of injury by electrical shock.
f)
If the power tool is used in damp areas, it is
necessary to use a power supply protected
by a residual current device (RCD).
The use of
an RCD limits the danger of injury by electrical shock.
The term „residual current device (RCD)“ may be
substituted for by the term „ground fault circuit inter-
rupter (GFCI)“ or „earth leakage circuit breaker (ELCB)“.
3) SAFETY OF PEOPLE
a)
When using the power tool, the user must be
attentive and pay attention to what they are
currently doing and must concentrate and
use common sense. The power tool must not
be used when the user is tired or under the
influence of drugs, alcohol or medication.
Momentary inattentiveness when using the power
tool may result in serious injury to persons.
b)
Use personal protective aids. Always wear
eye protection.
Use protective aids, such as a respi-
rator, safety footwear with anti-slip soles, hard head
cover or hearing protection appropriately to the work
conditions; they reduce the risk of injury to persons.
c)
It is essential to avoid accidentally starting the
power tool. It is necessary to check that the tri
-
gger is in the Off position before plugging the
power plug into a power socket and/or when
connecting the battery pack, lifting or carry-
ing the power tool.
Carrying the power tool with
a finger on the trigger or connecting the power tool‘s
plug with the switch engaged may cause an accident.
d)
It is necessary to remove all adjustment tools
and spanners before turning on the power tool.
An adjustment tool or spanner left attached to a rotating
part of the power tool may result in injury to persons.
e)
The user may only work in locations that
they can reach safely. The user must always
maintain a stable stance and balance.
This
will provide better control over the power tool in
unforeseeable situations.
f)
Dress in an appropriate manner. Do not wear
loose clothing or jewellery. The user must
ensure that they have hair and clothing at
a sufficient distance from moving parts.
Loose clothing, jewellery and long hair may become
caught in the moving parts.
g)
If there is equipment available for the
extraction and collection of dust, it is nece-
ssary that such equipment is connected and
used correctly.
The use of such equipment may
limit the danger posed by the created dust.
h)
The user must not become complacent and
start ignoring the fundamentals of power
tool safety due to the routine arising from
frequent use of the power tool.
Careless activity
may cause serious injury within a fraction of a second.
4) OPERATING AND MAINTAINING
POWER TOOLS
a)
Power tools must not be overloaded. It
is necessary to use power tools that are
designed for the work being performed.
Appropriate power tools for a given task will do the
job better and with greater safety.
b)
Power tools that cannot be turned on and off
with a trigger/switch must not be used.
