GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY WARNINGS
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
Failure to follow the warnings and
instructions may result in electric shock, re and/or serious injury.
a. . Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
b.
Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
c. Distractions can cause you to lose
control.
a.
Unmodied plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk
of electric shock.
b.
There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is earthed or grounded.
c. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of
electric shock.
d.
Damaged or entangled cords increase the
risk of electric shock.
e. Use of
a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.
f.
(RCD) protected supply. Use of an RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.
a.
medication. A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.
b. Protective equipment such as dust
mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.
c.
Carrying power tools with your
nger on the switch or energising power tools that have the switch on invites accidents.
d. A wrench or a key left
attached to a rotating part of the power tool may result in personal injury.
e. This enables better control of the
power tool in unexpected situations.
f.
Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
g.
these are connected and properly used. Use of dust collection can reduce dust-related hazards.
a. The correct power
tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was designed.
b. Any power tool that cannot be
controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
c.
Such preventive
safety measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.
d.
Power tools are dangerous in the hands
of untrained users.
e.
Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained power tools.
f. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to
bind and are easier to control.
g.
Use of the power tool for
operations different from those intended could result in a hazardous situation.
5. Battery tool use and care
a. A charger that is suitable for one type of
battery pack may create a risk of re when used with another battery pack.
b. Use of any other battery packs may
create a risk of injury and re.
c.
terminal to another. Shorting the battery terminals together may cause burns or a re.
d.
Liquid ejected from the battery may cause irritation or burns.
6. Service
a.
parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.
THIS MANUAL CONTAINS IMPORTANT SAFETY AND OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS FOR YOUR
BATTERY CHARGER.
1. Before using the charger read all instructions and cautionary markings on the charger, battery pack and the product
using the battery pack.
2. This charger is not intended for any uses other than charging rechargeable batteries. Any other use may result in risk
of re, electric shock or electrocution.
3. Do not place any object on top of the charger or place the charger on a soft surface that may result in excessive
internal heat. Place the charger in a position away from any heat source.
4. To reduce risk of damage to the electric plug and cord, pull by the plug rather than the cord when disconnecting the
charger.
5. Make sure the cord is located so that it will not be stepped on, tripped over, or otherwise subjected to damage or
stress.
6. An extension cord should not be used unless absolutely necessary. Use of an improper extension cord could result in the risk
of re, electric shock or electrocution.
7. Do not operate the charger if it has received a sharp blow, been dropped or otherwise damaged in any way. Have it
checked by an electrician or power tool repairer.
8. Do not disassemble charger. Take it to an electrician or power tool repairer when service or repair is required. Incorrect
reassembly may result in a risk of electric shock, electrocution or re.
9. To reduce risk of electric shock, unplug the charger from the outlet before attempting any cleaning. Removing the
battery pack will not reduce this risk.
10. Never attempt to connect 2 chargers together.
11. DO NOT store or use the tool and battery pack in locations where the temperature may reach or exceed 40ºC (such as inside
sheds or metal buildings in summer).
12. The charger is designed to operate on standard household electrical power (240 volts). Do not attempt to use it on any
other voltage!
13. The battery pack is not fully charged out of the carton. First read the safety instructions and then follow the charging
notes and procedures.
14. The longest life and best performance can be obtained if the battery pack is charged when the air temperature is
between 18 - 24ºC. Do not charge the battery pack in an air temperature below 10ºC or above 40ºC. This is important
and will prevent damage to the battery pack.
15. Do not incinerate the battery pack even if it is seriously damaged or is completely worn out. The battery can explode in
a re.
16. Never attempt to open the battery pack for any reason. If the plastic housing of the battery pack breaks or cracks, immedi-
ately discontinue use and do not recharge.
17. During charging, the battery must be placed in a well ventilated area.
BATTERY AND CHARGER SAFETY WARNINGS
VACUUM SAFETY WARNINGS
When using the equipment, a few safety precautions must be observed to avoid injuries
and damage. Please read the complete operating manual with due care. Keep this manual in a safe place so that
the information is available at all times. If you give the equipment to any other person, give them these operating
instructions as well.
We cannot accept any liability for damage or accidents which arise due to a failure to follow these instructions and the
safety information.
use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or
mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction
concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety.
WARNING! When using mains-powered tools, basic safety precautions, including
the following, should always be followed to reduce risk of fire, electric shock,
personal injury and material damage.
Read the whole manual carefully and make sure you know how to switch the tool off in an emergency, before operating the tool.
Save these instructions and other documents supplied with this tool for future reference.
Before you connect the charger to the mains supply make sure that the data on the rating plate are identical to the mains data.
This tools charger is double insulated; therefore no earth wire is required.
If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by an electrician or a power tool repairer in order to avoid a hazard.
Note: Double insulation does not take the place of normal safety precautions when operating this tool. The insulation system is for
added protection against injury resulting from a possible electrical insulation failure within the tool.
The power supply for this products charger should be protected by a residual current device (rated at 30mA or less). A residual current
device reduces the risk of electric shock.
