•
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.
•
Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at
all times.
This enables better control of the power tool in
unexpected situations.
•
Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep
your hair and clothing away from moving parts.
Loose clothes,
jewellery or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
•
Do not let familiarity gained from frequent use of tools allow
you to become complacent and ignore tool safety principles.
A careless action can cause severe injury within a fraction of a
second.
Power tool use and care
•
Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for
your application.
The correct power tool will do the job better
and safer at the rate for which it was designed.
•
Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it on and
off.
Any power tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is
dangerous and must be repaired.
•
Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or remove
the battery pack, if detachable, from the power tool before
making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing
power tools.
Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of
starting the power tool accidentally.
•
Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and do
not allow persons unfamiliar with the power tool or these
instructions to operate the power tool.
Power tools are
dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
•
Maintain power tools and accessories. Check for
misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts
and any other condition that may affect the power tool’s
operation. If damaged, have the power tool repaired before
use.
Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained power
tools.
•
Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc. in
accordance with these instructions, taking into account the
working conditions and the work to be performed.
Use of the
power tool for operations different from those intended could
result in a hazardous situation.
•
Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry, clean and free from
oil and grease.
Slippery handles and grasping surfaces do not
allow for safe handling and control of the tool in unexpected
situations.
•
Hold the power tool by the insulated grip surfaces if you carry
out work in which the screw may come into contact with
hidden power lines.
If the screw comes into contact with a live
power line it can make metal objects alive and lead to an electric
shock. The slimBit is approved by the external VDE testing
centre for work up to 1,000 volts.
Battery tool use and care
•
Recharge only with the charger specified by the manufacturer.
A charger that is suitable for one type of battery pack may
create a risk of fire when used with another battery pack.
•
Use power tools only with specifically designated battery
packs.
Use of any other battery packs may create a risk of injury
and fire.
•
When battery pack is not in use, keep it away from other
metal objects, like paper clips, coins, keys, nails, screws or
other small metal objects, that can make a connection from
one terminal to another.
Shorting the battery terminals together
may cause burns or a fire.
•
Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from the
battery; avoid contact. If contact accidentally occurs, flush
with water. If liquid contacts eyes, additionally seek medical
help.
Liquid ejected from the battery may cause irritation or
burns.
•
Do not use a battery pack or tool that is damaged or
modified.
Damaged or modified batteries may exhibit
unpredictable behaviour resulting in fire, explosion or risk of
injury.
•
Do not expose a battery pack or tool to fire or excessive
temperature.
Exposure to fire or temperature above 130 °C may
cause explosion.
•
Follow all charging instructions and do not charge the battery
pack or tool outside the temperature range specified in the
instructions.
Charging improperly or at temperatures outside
the specified range may damage the battery and increase the
risk of fire.
