Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other construction
activities contains chemicals known to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm.
Some examples of these chemicals are:
- lead from lead-based paints,
- crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry products, and
- arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated lumber.
Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how often you do this type of work. To
reduce your exposure to these chemicals: work in a well ventilated area, and work with
approved safety equipment, such as those dust masks that are specially designed to filter out
microscopic particles.
20. Even when the tool is used as prescribed it is not possible to eliminate all residual risk factors.
The following hazards may arise in connection with the tool’s construction and design:
amage to the lungs if an effective dust mask is not worn.
amage to hearing if effective hearing protection is not worn.
EXTRA SAFETY REGULATIONS CONCERNING BATTERY
To ensure the longest battery life and best battery performance, always charge the battery
when the temperature is between 18-24°C. o not charge the battery pack when the
temperature is below 0°C, or above 40°C. This is important. Failure to observe this safety rule
could cause serious damage to the battery pack.
o not incinerate the battery pack even if it is seriously damaged or can no longer hold a
charge. The battery pack can explode in a fire.
A small leakage of liquid from the battery pack may occur under extreme usage or temperature.
This does not necessarily indicate a failure of the battery pack. However, if the outer seal is
broken and this leakage comes into contact with your skin:
Wash the affected area quickly with soap and water.
Flush your eyes with clean water for a minimum of 10 minutes and seek immediate
medical attention.
Never attempt to open the battery pack for any reason. If the plastic housing of the battery pack
breaks open or cracks, immediately discontinue its use and do not recharge it.
o not store or carry a spare battery pack in a pocket or toolbox or any other place where it
may come into contact with metal objects. The battery pack may be short circuited causing
damage to the battery pack, burns or a fire. If storing or disposing the battery pack, cover the
terminals with a heavy insulation tape to ensure short circuit cannot occur. Batteries, when
stored for a long period of time, will discharge.
o not store or use the tool and battery pack in locations where the temperature may reach or
exceed 40°C such as alongside sheds or metal structures in the summer.
Allow the battery pack to cool down after charging. o not place it in a hot environment such as
a metal shed or open trailer left in the sun.
Only charge the battery with the charger supplied.
o not put the battery pack near fire or high temperature position.
o not splash or immerse in water or other liquids. This may cause premature cell failure.
When transporting individual batteries, make sure that the battery terminals are protected and
well insulated from materials that could contact them and cause a short circuit.
The best storage place is one that is cool and dry away from direct sunlight and excess heat or
cold.
If the battery pack has been stored for a long time, you should activate the battery pack first
before using it.
