Safety in the workplace

■
Keep your working area clean, and make
sure it is well illuminated. Untidiness or
dimly lit working areas can lead to accidents.
■
Do not work with the power tool in a po-
tentially explosive atmosphere with the
presence of flammable liquids, gases or
dust. Power tools give rise to sparks that can
ignite the dust or vapours.
■
Keep children and other people away from
the power tool when using it. If you are dis-
tracted, you may lose control of the power
tool.
3.1.5 Use and handling of the rechargeable
battery-operated tool
■
Only recharge batteries with chargers that
are recommended by the manufacturer.
Using a charger intended for one particular
type of rechargeable battery with a different
type of rechargeable battery represents a fire
risk.
■
Only use batteries in the power tools that
are intended for this purpose. Using other
batteries can lead to injuries and represents
the risk of fire.
■
Keep the unused rechargeable battery
away from paper clips, coins, keys, nails,
screws or other small metal objects that
could short-circuit the contacts. A short
circuit between the rechargeable battery con-
tacts can result in burns or fire.
■
Incorrect use can result in fluid leaking
out of the rechargeable battery. Avoid
coming into contact with it. In case of in-
advertent contact, rinse off with water. If
the fluid gets into your eyes, additionally
seek medical assistance. Leaking re-
chargeable battery fluid can lead to skin irrita-
tions or burns.
■
Do not use a damaged or changed re-
chargeable battery. Damaged or changed
batteries can behave unpredictably and lead
to fire, explosion or a risk of injury.
■
Do not expose a rechargeable battery to
fire or high temperatures. Fire or tempera-
tures over 130 °C can cause an explosion.
■
Comply with all of the instructions for
charging, and never charge the recharge-
able battery or the rechargeable battery-
operated tool outside of the temperature
range specified in the operating instruc-
tions. Incorrect charging or charging outside
26
of the permissible temperature range can de-
stroy the rechargeable battery and increase
the risk of fire.
3.1.6

Service

■
For your own safety, only have your pow-
er tool repaired by qualified specialist per-
sonnel using genuine spare parts. This en-
sures that the power tool remains safe.
■
Never maintain damaged batteries. All re-
chargeable battery maintenance should only
ever be undertaken by the manufacturer or
authorised customer service points.
