General safety advice for electrical power tools

5.Careful handling and use of rechargeable devices

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) Warning! 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.

Safety advice relating to cordless drill drivers

JSecurely support the workpiece. A workpiece held in a clamp or vice is kept more securely in place than one held by your hand.

Warning! POISONOUS DUSTS!

JHarmful / noxious dusts generated from your work represent 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!

JDo not drill any material containing asbestos. Asbestos is a known carcinogen.

JHold the electrical power tool firmly.

10 GB/IE/CY

High reaction torques may occur momentarily during tightening or loosening of screws.

JIf 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 may jam if the electrical power tool is overloaded or is held at an angle to the workpiece.

Warning! The inserted tool may strike concealed electricity cables, therefore when working you must hold the electrical power tool by the insulated handle areas only. Contact with a live wire means that the metal parts of the electrical power tools may become live and this can result in an electric shock.

JBefore you carry out any tasks on the device, transport or store it, make sure that the direction of rotation switch is in the middle position (lock). To prevent the device from starting up uninten- tionally.

QAttention - Service lines!

cDanger!

Take steps to ensure that you do not hit upon any service lines (electricity, gas, water) when working with elec- trical appliances. Check, if need be with a service line detector, before you start to cut or bore into a surface.

QOriginal ancillaries /  accessories

JUse only the ancillaries and accessories that are detailed in the operating instructions.

The use of ancillaries and accessories other than those recommended in the operating instructions could lead to an increased risk of personal injury for you.
