2ProductInformation
2.1 General Safety Instructions for Electrical Tools
Thissectioncomprisesgeneralinstructionsfornumerousdi󶈴erentproductsand
electricaltools.Consequently,noteverysafetyinstructionwillnecessarilyapply
tothistool.
WARNING!
Read all safety warnings, instructions, illustrations and
speci󶈵cations provided with this power tool.
Failuretofollowallinstructionslistedbelowmayresultinelectric
shock,󶈵re,and/orseriousinjury.
Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.
Theterm“powertool”inthewarningsreferstothecordedpowertoolorbattery-
operated(cordless)powertool.
1) Work Area Safety
a) Keep work area clean and well lit.
Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
b) Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the
presence of 󶈶ammable liquids, gases, or dust.
Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
c) Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool.
Distractions can cause you to lose control.
2) Electrical Safety
a) Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any
way. Do not use any adapter plugs with grounded power tools.
Unmodi󶈵ed plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.
b) Avoid body contact with grounded surfaces, such as pipes, radiators,
ranges, and refrigerators.
There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is grounded.
c) Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions.
Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
d) Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling, or
unplugging the power tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges,
or moving parts.
Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock.

US
ProductInformation
7
e) When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord suitable
for outdoor use.
Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.
f) If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a
residual current device (RCD) protected supply.
Use of an RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.
3) Personal Safety
a) Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when
operating a power tool. Do not use a power tool while you are tired or
under the in󶈶uence of drugs, alcohol, or medication.
A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious
personal injury.
b) Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection.
Protective equipment such as a dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or
hearing protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.
c) Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the o󶈴-position
before connecting to power source and/or battery pack, picking up, or
carrying the tool.
Carrying power tools with your 󶈵nger on the switch or energising power tools
that have the switch on invites accidents.
d) Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the power tool on.
A wrench or a key left attached to a rotating part of the power tool may result
in personal injury.
e) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times.
This enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations.
f) Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair
and clothing away from moving parts.
Loose clothes, jewellery, or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
g) If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and
collection facilities, ensure these are connected and properly used.
Use of dust collection can reduce dust-related hazards.
h) Do not let familiarity gained from frequent use of tools allow you to
become complacent and ignore tool safety principles.
A careless action can cause severe injury within a fraction of a second.
4) Power Tool Use and Care
a) Use the correct power tool for your application.
The correct power tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it
was designed.
b) Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it on and o󶈴.
Any power tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and
must be repaired.

c) Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or remove the battery
pack, if detachable, from the power tool before making any adjustments,
changing accessories, or storing power tools.
Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.
d) Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and do not allow persons
unfamiliar with the power tool or these instructions to operate the power tool.
Power tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
e) Maintain power tools and accessories. Check for misalignment or binding of
moving parts, breakage of parts and any other condition that may a󶈴ect the
power tool’s operation. lf damaged, have the power tool repaired before use.
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 the power tool, accessories, and tool bits, etc. in accordance with
these instructions, taking into account the working conditions and the
work to be performed.
Use of the power tool for operations di󶈴erent from those intended could
result in a hazardous situation.
h) Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry, clean, and free from oil and grease.
Slippery handles and grasping surfaces do not allow for safe handling and
control of the tool in unexpected situations.
5) Battery Tool Use and Care
a) Recharge only with the charger speci󶈵ed by the manufacturer.
A charger that is suitable for one type battery pack may create a risk of 󶈵re
when used with another battery pack.
b) Use power tools only with speci󶈵cally designated battery packs.
Use of any other battery packs may create a risk of injury and 󶈵re.
c) When battery pack is not in use, keep it away from other metal objects,
like paper clips, coins, keys, nails, screws, or other small metal objects,
that can make a connection from one terminal to another.
Shorting the battery terminals together may cause burns or a 󶈵re.
d) Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from the battery;
avoid contact. lf contact accidentally occurs, 󶈶ush with water. If liquid
contacts eyes, seek medical help immediately.
Liquid ejected from the battery may cause irritation or burns.
e) Do not use a battery pack or tool that is damaged or modi󶈵ed.
Damaged or modi󶈵ed batteries may exhibit unpredictable behaviour resulting
in 󶈵re, explosion, or risk of injury.
f) Do not expose a battery pack or tool to 󶈵re or excessive temperature.
Exposure to 󶈵re or temperature above 266° F may cause explosion.

US
ProductInformation

g) Follow all charging instructions and do not charge the battery pack or
tool outside the temperature range speci󶈵ed in the instructions.
Charging improperly or at temperatures outside the speci󶈵ed range may
damage the battery and increase the risk of 󶈵re.
6) Service
a) Have your power tool serviced by a quali󶈵ed repair person using only
identical replacement parts.
This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.
b) Never service damaged battery packs.
Service of battery packs should only be performed by the manufacturer or
authorized service providers.
7) Basic Safety Rules
a) Use the correct tools.
Only use the tools and accessories listed in the operating instructions. Do not
use electric tools for purposes or work they are not intended for.
b) Secure the workpiece.
Use clamping devices or a vice to hold the workpiece. It is held more securely
than it would be by hand and both your hands are free to operate the tool.
c) Leave protective equipment in place.
d) Hand-held devices must not to be used as stationary equipment.
e) Do not hold the device in the compression area.
f) Do not hold any body parts or foreign objects between the press jaws
when activating the pressing cycle. Do not hold the jaw lever during the
pressing cycle. Danger of crushing!
There is a danger of crushing the 󶈵ngers and hands.
g) Observe the safety instructions for the use of cleaning and corrosion
protection agents.
h) Ensure that the workpiece is not under tension.
