4 USING AND HANDLING THE POWER TOOL
a. Never overload the tool. Use the power tool
intended for your task. Using a compatible
power tool improves your work and allows
you to work with greater safety in the stated
power range.
b. Do not use a power tool with a faulty switch.
A power tool that can no longer be switched
on or off is dangerous and must be repaired.
c. Remove the plug from the socket and/or
remove a removable battery before adjusting
the tool settings, changing accessory parts
or putting the tool aside. This precautionary
measure prevents the power tool from being
started up unintentionally.
d. When not in use, keep power tools out of
the reach of children. Personnel should not
be allowed to use the device if they are not
familiar with it or have not read these instruc-
tions. Power tools pose a hazard when used
by inexperienced personnel.
e. Maintain power tools and accessories with
care. Check that moving parts are functioning
correctly and do not jam, and whether any
parts are broken or damaged so badly that
the power tool will not function correctly as
a result. Have damaged parts repaired before
using the tool. Many accidents are caused by
poorly maintained power tools.
f. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Carefully
maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting
edges jam less frequently and are easier to
guide.
g. Use the power tool, accessories, insertion
tools, etc. in accordance with these instruc-
tions. Also take into account the working con-
ditions and the job in hand. Using power tools
for applications other than those intended may
create hazardous situations.
h. Keep handles and gripping surfaces dry,
clean and free of oil and grease. Slippery
handles and gripping surfaces do not allow for
safe operation and control of the power tool in
unforeseeable situations.
5 USING AND HANDLING CORDLESS TOOLS
a. Only charge the batteries in chargers recom-
mended by the manufacturer. There is a risk
of fire when using a charger which is meant
for a specific type of battery with a different
battery.
b. Only use the correct batteries in the power
tools. The use of different batteries may lead
to injury and a risk of fire.
c. When the battery is not in use, keep it away
from paper clips, coins, keys, nails, screws
and other small metal objects which could
bridge the contacts. A short circuit between
the battery contacts may pose a risk of burns
or fire.
d. Fluid may leak out of the battery if it is used
incorrectly. Avoid contact with the fluid. Rinse
with water any areas which accidentally come
into contact with the fluid. If fluid gets into the
eyes, also consult a doctor. Leaking battery
fluid can cause skin irritation or burns.
e. Do not use damaged or modified batteries.
Batteries which are damaged or which have
been modified may behave unpredictably,
which could lead to fire, explosion or the risk
of injury.
f. Do not expose a battery to fire or excessive
temperatures. Fire or temperatures exceeding
130 °C may cause an explosion.
g. Follow all instructions on charging and nev-
er charge the battery or the cordless tool
outside the temperature range stated in the
operating instructions. Incorrect charging or
charging outside the permitted temperature
range can destroy the battery and increase
the risk of fire.
6 SERVICE
a. Only ever have your power tool repaired by
qualified specialist staff and always use orig-
inal spare parts. This ensures that the safety
of the power tool is maintained.
b. Never perform maintenance on damaged
batteries. Maintenance on batteries should
only ever be performed by the manufacturer
or authorised customer service centres.
c. Only use original parts for repairs and main-
tenance. The use of incompatible accessories
or spare parts can result in electric shocks or
other injuries.
5.2 Machine-specific safety notices for cord-
less drills
– Wait for the cutter to stop before setting the
tool down. An exposed rotating cutter may
engage the surface leading to possible loss of
control and serious injury.
