General safety advice for electrical power tools
General safety advice for electrical power tools
the stipulations drawn up for this par-
ticular type of device. In doing this, take
into account the working conditions
and the task in hand.
The use of electrical
power tools for purposes other than those in-
tended can lead to dangerous situations.
5. Use and handling of the cord-
less electrical power tool
a)
Charge a rechargeable battery unit
using only the charger recommended
by the manufacturer.
Chargers are often
designed for a particular type of rechargeable
battery unit. There is the danger of fire if other
types of rechargeable battery units are used.
b)
Only the rechargeable battery units
supplied are to be used with an elec-
trical power tool.
The use of other recharge-
able battery units may lead to the danger of
injury or fire.
c)
When they are not being used, store
rechargeable battery units away from
paperclips, coins, keys. nails, screws
or other small metal objects that could
cause the contacts to be bridged.
Short-
circuiting the contacts of a rechargeable battery
unit may result in heat damage or fire.
d)
Fluids may leak out of rechargeable
battery units if they are misused. If this
happens, avoid contact with the fluid.
If contact occurs, flush the affected area
with water. Seek additional medical
help if any of the fluid gets into your
eyes.
Escaping battery fluid may cause skin
irritation or burns.
6. Service
a)
Have your device repaired at the ser-
vice centre or by qualified specialist
personnel using original manufacturer
parts only.
This will ensure that your device
remains safe to use.
Safety instructions for
cordless drill
Hold the device by the
insulated handles when performing
work where the screw or the tool
could potentially strike a hidden elec-
trical lines or its own power cable.
If
the screw or the tool comes into contact with a
live wire, metal parts of the tool could become
live and result in electric shock.
Safety notices for chargers
Children or persons who lack the knowledge
or experience to use the device or whose phys-
ical, sensory or intellectual capacities are limited
must never be allowed to use the device without
supervision or instruction by a person responsi-
ble for their safety. Always supervise children
to ensure they do not play with the tool.
Supplementary Instructions
Secure the work-piece firmly. A work-piece held
in a clamp or vice is kept more securely in
place than one held by your hand.
TOxIC DUST!
Working with
harmful / noxious dusts represents a risk to the
health of the person operating the device and
to anyone near the work area.
Wear safety glasses and a dust mask!
Do not drill any material containing
asbestos.
Asbestos is considered carcinogenic.
Hold the power tool firmly.
When tight-
ening or loosening screws there can be a short
period of high reactive forces.
If the inserted tool jams, switch off the
electrical power tool immediately.
Be
prepared for high reaction torques as they may
cause kickback. The inserted tool will jam if it is
overloaded or if it becomes stuck in the work-
piece.
When working on the device as well
as transporting or storing it, put the
rotary direction switch in the middle
