The tool must always be kept locked away securely.
Only authorized persons are allowed access to the tool.
2.4.1 Basic safety measures
2.4.1.1 Workplace safety
a) Keep your working area clean and well-lighted.
A cluttered or poorly illuminated working area may result in accidents.
b)
Do not operate the tool in areas in which explosions can occur,
where ammableliquids,gasesordustarelocated.Powertoolsproducesparksthat
can ignite dust or vapors.

Distractions may cause you to lose control over the tool.
2.4.1.2. Electrical safety
a)
Avoid contact with grounded surfaces such as pipes, heaters, stoves and
refrigerators.
When your body is grounded, there is an increased risk of electrical shock.
b) Keep the tool away from rain and humidity.
The penetration of water into a tool increases the risk of electrical shock.
c) Keep the tool away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts.
!The terms "tool" and "power tool" used in the safety information refer to tools powered

alcohol or medications.
Even one moment of carelessness when operating the tool can result in serious injury.
b) Always wear personal protective gear and safety goggles.
Wearing personal protective gear appropriate to the type of tool and the work
being performed, such as a dust mask, non-slip safety shoes, a safety helmet and
ear protection, minimizes the risk of injury.
c) Avoid accidentally starting the tool.
Make sure that the tool is switched off before connecting it to the battery , picking it
up or carrying it.
Carryingthetoolwithyourngeronthepowerswitchor connecting to a power

a) Use only devices recommended by the manufacturer to charge the batteries.
Using an improper charger may ruin the battery .
b) Use the correct batteries in the power tools.
 Usingotherbatteriesmayresultininjuryandrehazard.
c)
If the battery is not used for an extended period, it should not remain in the charger
or in the tool.
If it is expected that the riveting tool will remain unused for more than 3 hours,
the battery must be removed. Failure to do so entails the risk of permanent battery
damage.
d)
For safety reasons, the lithium ion battery should not remain in an active charging
device for more than 36 hours.
After charging, remove the battery from the charger as soon as possible.
e) An empty battery should not remain in the tool or in an unpowered charging
device for an extended period of time.
 Inbothcases,theresidualcurrentow may completely discharge and ruin
the battery.
f)
If possible, recharge the lithium ion battery immediately after use and do not store
when empty.
If the battery is stored separately from the tool and the charger, it will retain its
charging capacity for a longer time. (Maximum loss 5% per year)
g)
Always transport the battery separately from the tool whenever possible.
This ensures that the tool is not accidentally switched on, thus preventing the battery from
discharging.
h) Do not expose the lithium ion battery to high temperatures (120°F/50°C) or
direct sunlight.
If the battery temperature exceeds 120°F/50°C during operation (charging or
discharging), it must be removed from the charger or riveting tool immediately.
i)
Keep unused batteries away from paper clips, coins, keys, nails, screws or other small
metal objects that could create a short circuit between the battery contacts. Do not open
or short-circuit the battery.
A short circuit between the battery contacts may result in
 burns,reorexplosion.
Please observe the following when handling the provided lithium ion
batteries.
