Safety Recommendations - Equipment; Check List: 7 Steps Before Start - Pecol PROFESSIONAL 12V APRO Manual Del Usaurio

3.3. Safety Recommendations - Equipment

• Disconnect the machine from the battery before any intervention.
• Select the correct power tool taking into account the type of use and power required.
• Do not change or make adjustments that change the original configuration of the
power tool or drills or accessories.
• Only use recommended and quality accessories (see page 71).
• Check if the accessories are in good condition, without defects.
• Check the general condition of the battery. Look for cracks, clearances, loose parts
inside, among others. If liquid is spilled from the inside of the structure, insulate the
battery to avoid contact with skin or local contamination and refer to PECOL Technical
Assistance Service.
• The battery's electrolytic liquid is highly alkaline and corrosive. In case of contact
with the skin or eyes, rinse immediately with plenty of water and seek medical advice
at the earliest opportunity. If the battery emits vapours, remove from the environment
immediately, ventilate the area and seek immediate medical attention.
• In case of battery, charger or power tool fire, use only chemical or CO2 extinguisher.
• Inspect the cables of extensions, charger and plugs for cracks, dry parts, insulation,
and keep them clean and free of oils and greases, which can deteriorate the insulation.
• Only use certified cables and plugs with EC marking and with supported power (in
watts) greater than the sum of all equipment connected to it.
• Never pull the plug or hold the charger by the cable.
• If the drill bit is stuck in a part due to a drilling operation that has been interrupted,
it must be removed by turning the machine on in the reversing mode and with a gentle
actuation of the switch. Do not attempt to continue drilling with the drill bit attached.
• If the part is small or can move, always use tightening clamps (A), a bench lathe (B) or
grip pliers (C) to secure it.

3.4. Check List: 7 steps before start

1. Be aware of the safety recommendations in the manual.
2. Check the general condition of the battery. Look for cracks, clearances, loose parts
inside, among others. If liquid is spilled from the inside, immediately disconnect it and
see page 60 and 71.
3. The ambient temperature for use should be between 5°C and 40°C to avoid
damaging the battery.
4. Check the battery charge level by pressing the charge indicator on the battery. Do not
use if it is in red only. If necessary, be aware of the instructions on page 60 to 62.
5. Check the general condition of the machine and battery socket. Look for cracks,
clearances, loose parts inside, among others. Note: The presence of some slack in the
battery holder with the power tool is a normal condition, not a malfunction.
6. Check if the bit (or other accessory installed in the chuck) is secure, centred, sharp
and undamaged.
7. Make sure that the direction of rotation selected is the one you want.
3.5. Kickback
The kickback is a violent reaction of
the drill in the direction opposite to the
movement, created by the torque and
inertia of the rotating parts.
Runs more intensively when using large
diametre drills and/or when drilling ductile
materials. In case it is necessary to drill
large diametres, do it progressively, starting
with drills of smaller diametre, or with the
use of stepped drill when drilling plates.
