6 ADDITIONAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
▪
Hold power tools by insulated gripping surfaces when performing an operation where the
cutting tool may contact hidden wiring. Contact with a ″live″ wire will make exposed metal
parts of the tool ″live″ and shock the operator.
▪
The amount of actual torque may vary depending on the cleanness and condition of the
threads and other factors. If tightening critical components, check the actual torque
applied to the fastener with a mechanical torque wrench (not supplied)
▪
Maintain labels and nameplates on the tool.
▪
Avoid unintentional starting. Prepare to begin work before turning on the tool.
▪
Do not lay the tool down until it has come to a complete stop. Moving parts can grab the
surface and pull the tool out of your control.
▪
When using a handheld power tool, maintain a firm grip on the tool with both hands to
resist starting torque.
▪
Do not leave the tool unattended when the Battery Pack is connected. Turn off the tool,
and remove the Battery Pack before leaving.
▪
The battery Charger gets hot during use. The Charger’s heat can build up to unsafe levels
and create a fire hazard if it does not receive adequate ventilation, due to an electrical
fault, or if it is used in a hot environment. Do not place the Charger on a flammable
surface. Do not obstruct any vents on the Charger. Especially avoid placing the Charger
on carpets and rugs; they are not only flammable, but they also obstruct vents under the
Charger. Place the Charger on a stable, solid, non-flammable surface (such as a stable
metal workbench or concrete floor) at least 1 foot away from all flammable objects, such
as drapes or walls. Keep a fire extinguisher and a smoke detector in the area. Frequently
monitor the Charger and Battery Pack while charging.
▪
This product is not a toy. Keep it out of reach of children.
▪
The warnings, precautions, and instructions discussed in this instruction manual cannot
cover all possible conditions and situations that may occur. It must be understood by the
operator that common sense and caution are factors which cannot be built into this
product, but must be supplied by the operator.
7 ADDITIONAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR BATTERIES AND
CHARGERS
Use only batteries and chargers applicable for this machine.
7.1
Batteries
▪
Never attempt to open for any reason.
▪
Do not store in locations where the temperature may exceed 40 °C.
▪
Charge only at ambient temperatures between 4 °C and 40 °C.
▪
Store your batteries in a cool dry place (5 °C-20 °C). Never store batteries in discharged
state.
▪
It is better for Li-ion batteries to discharge and reload them regularly (at least 4 times a
year). The ideal charge for long-term storage of your Li-ion battery is 40% of capacity.
▪
When disposing of batteries,
follow the instructions given in the section “Protecting the
environment”.
▪
Do not cause short circuits. If connection is made between the positive (+) and negative (-)
terminal directly or via accidental contact with metallic objects, the battery is short circuited
and an intense current will flow causing heat generation which may lead to casing rupture
or fire.
▪
Do not heat. If batteries are heated to above 100 °C, sealing and insulating separators
and other polymer components may be damaged resulting in electrolyte leakage and/or
