General safety advice for electrical power tools
b)Do not use an electrical power tool if its switch is defective. An electrical power tool that can no longer be switched on and off is dangerous and must be repaired.
c)Pull the mains plug out of the socket before you make any adjustments to the device, change accessories or when the device is put away. This precaution is intended to prevent you from unintentionally starting the device.
d)When not in use always ensure that electrical power tools are kept out of reach of children. Do not let anyone use the device if he or she is not famil- iar with it or has not read the instruc- tions and advice. Electrical power tools are dangerous when they are used by inexperienced people.
e)Look after the device carefully. Check that moving parts are working prop- erly and move freely. Check for any parts that are broken or damaged enough to detrimentally affect the functioning of the device. Have dam- aged parts repaired before you use the device. Many accidents have their origins in poorly maintained electrical power tools.
f)Keep cutting tools clean and sharp. Carefully maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to jam and are easier to control.
g)Use the electrical power tool, accesso- ries, inserted tools etc. in accordance with these instructions and advice, and the stipulations drawn up for this particular 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 intended can lead to dangerous situations.
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)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 affect- ed 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.
JHold the electrical power tool firmly. 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.
Warning! The inserted tool may strike concealed electricity cables, therefore when working you must
