hat, or hearing protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce
personal injuries.
Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the off-
position before connecting to power source and/or battery pack,
picking up or carrying the tool.
Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or
energising power tools that have the switch on invites accidents.
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, clothing and gloves away from moving parts. Loose
clothes, jewellery or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction
and collection facilities, ensure these are connected and properly
used. Use of dust collection can reduce dust-related hazards.
The operators must be trained strictly and correctly, and read
& understand the operation instructions of the tool correctly. If the
operation instructions are not followed or the straps is placed incorrectly,
the straps will be damaged and the operator will be injured.
Before getting start with the tool, please keep your fingers
away from the tension and cutting area of the tool.
Do not use the bonded straps to carry, drag or suspend the
heavy object, which may cause accidents.
Read all safety warnings and all instructions.
Failure to follow the warnings and instructions may result in electric
shock, fire and/or serious injury.
Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.
The term "power tool" in the warnings refers to your mains-
operated (corded) power tool or battery-operated (cordless) power tool.
1.1 Personal Safety
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 the battery pack 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. 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 and its 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.
1.2 Work Area Safety
Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the
presence of flammable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks which may
ignite the dust or fumes.
Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. Distractions
can cause you to lose control.
Do not operate the tool in a narrow space.
1.3 Power Tool Use And Care
Environmental Protection. Please don't discard or burn the waste batteries at will,
causing environmental pollution. If you don't know how to deal with it, please consult the
supplier. Be sure to use the original battery to ensure safety.
Do not disassemble the battery. Please store the battery in a dry and frost
resistant room. Storage temperature should not be higher than 50℃, please keep dry all
the time.
Do not charge the waste batteries. If you find that the battery charging is abnormal,
please do not charge it by force and replace it with a new one to avoid accidents.
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.
1.4 Battery Tool Use And Care
Battery-operated Hand Tool LGT260 for Plastic Strapping User Manual Battery-operated Hand Tool LGT260 for Plastic Strapping User Manual

45
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.
Incorrect operation, excessive tension, improper use of packing straps,
sudden loss of tension force due to loading of sharp objects, or breakage of straps
may eventually lead to:
The operator falling down as a result of out of balance.
Personal harm as a result of the tool and the strap whipping out to the operator quickly.
1.5 Hazards of Incorrect Operation
a. If the load object is sharp, please add edge protection between the strap and the object.
b. Please wrap the packing straps around the object correctly.
In the process of operation, the operator should stand beside the tool and the strap,
instead of in front and back of the tool and the strap. If the operator operates the tool by
standing in a straight-line position with the tool, he may be injured by the tool or the strap
that strikes forward or backward towards him due to improper operation. Keep away from
bystanders during operation. Please use a strap of qualified quality recommended in this
manual. A qualified strap shall have suitable width, thickness and strength. Unqualified
straps may result in strap breakage during strap tensioning, causing hazards.
Attention:
1.6 Straps Dispenser
Please use professional straps dispenser to work with the tool. After finished
the operation, please fold the end of the strap into the straps dispenser.
When it is found that the straps welding joint is unqualified(refer to 5.3 for the
welding joint standard), please cut off the strap and operate again.
Unqualified strap welding may lead to unsecure strapping, which may cause
serious damage during shipping process, bringing a safety hazard.
1.7 Welding Effects
Please cut off the strap with a suitable cutting tool and ensure a safe distance
between the strap and the operator. Do not stand in a same straight line as the strap,
and stay away from the loose direction of the strap, to prevent the operator from being
injured by the bounced strap due to sudden breakage of the strap.
Please use professional tools for cutting straps. Hammers, pliers, hacksaws,
axes, etc. are not allowed.
1.8 Correct Strap Cutting
Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair person using only
identical replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is
maintained;
Regularly maintain the tool to keep it in a good working condition;
Regularly check for broken or worn parts. If there are broken or worn parts,
please replace the parts in time before using it;
It is recommended to clean the machine regularly (every day) if it is used in a
dirty environment. Remove impurities such as debris in the tensioning and welding
areas of the tool with an air gun(or other dust extraction tool), and observe it with naked
eyes at the same time. If the tool is obviously damaged, please repair it and replace parts
in time;
The battery needs to be charged every six months if it is not used in a long
time;
Most parts of the tool need to be replaced and repaired when the number of
strapping cycles reaches more than 100,000 to avoid personal injury caused by
tool failure;
Please consult the supplier if you need to purchase spare and accessory
parts;
Do not modify the strapping tool without permission, otherwise it may cause
personal injuries.
