7. Security advices for battery riveting machines
●Hold the battery riveting machine firmly with both hands when working and keep standing steadily. The battery riveting
machine can be operated safer when using both hands.

4
●Immediately turn off the battery riveting machine if the riveting tool jams.
●Be prepared for a high reacting torque which causes strong recoil. The tool jams when the battery riveting machine is
overloaded.
●Hold the battery riveting machine tightly.
●Secure the workpiece that is to be riveted. A workpiece is held more securely by a clamping device or a bench vise
than by hand.
●Make sure that the power switch is turned to the "Off" position before inserting a battery. Holding your fingers close to the
power switch when carrying this machine or inserting a battery while is “On” may lead to accidents.
●Do not open the battery, as this leads to the risk of a short-circuit. Keep the battery away from heat (e.g. permanent sun
radiation) and from fire due to risk of explosion.
●If the battery is damaged or used in an inappropriate manner, vapors may emerge from it. Get some fresh air and call
for medical help in case of complaints. The vapors can lead to irritation of the respiratory tracts.
●If the battery is defective, fluid may emerge from it and coat adjacent objects. Check the parts affected, clean them or
replace them, if necessary.
●Use the battery only with this battery riveting machine. This is the only way to prevent dangerous overload of the battery.
