Safety instructions
■
Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry,
clean and free from oil and grease. Slip-
pery handles and grasping surfaces do not
allow for safe handling and control of the tool
in unexpected situations.
3.1.5
Battery tool use and care
■
Recharge only with the charger specified
by the manufacturer. A charger that is suit-
able for one type of battery pack may create
a risk of fire when used with another battery
pack.
■
Use power tools only with specifically
designated battery packs. Use of any other
battery packs may create a risk of injury and
fire.
■
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 con-
nection from one terminal to another.
Shorting the battery terminals together may
cause burns or a fire.
■
Under abusive conditions, liquid may be
ejected from the battery; avoid contact. If
contact accidentally occurs, flush with
water. If liquid contacts eyes, additionally
seek medical help. Liquid ejected from the
battery may cause irritation or burns.
■
Do not use a battery pack or tool that is
damaged or modified. Damaged or modi-
fied batteries may exhibit unpredictable be-
haviour resulting in fire, explosion or risk of
injury.
■
Do not expose a battery pack or tool to
fire or excessive temperature. Exposure to
fire or temperature above 130 °C may cause
explosion.
■
Follow all charging instructions and do
not charge the battery pack or tool out-
side the temperature range specified in
the instructions. Charging improperly or at
temperatures outside the specified range
may damage the battery and increase the
risk of fire.
3.1.6
Service
■
Have your power tool serviced by a quali-
fied repair person using only identical re-
placement parts. This will ensure that the
safety of the power tool is maintained.
■
Never service damaged battery packs.
Service of battery packs should only be per-
443441_a
formed by the manufacturer or authorized
service providers.
3.2
Safety of persons, animals and property
■
Note that the user is responsible for acci-
dents and damage that may befall other per-
sons or their property.
■
Use the appliance only for the purposes for
which it is intended. Any non-intended use
can lead to injury and property damage.
■
Switch on the appliance only when there are
no other persons or animals in the working
area.
■
Maintain a safe distance to persons or ani-
mals, or switch off the appliance if persons or
animals approach.
3.2.1
Vibration load
Vibration total values and noise emission
values
■
The declared vibration total values and noise
emission values have been measured ac-
cording to a standardised test method and
can be used to compare one power tool with
another.
■
The declared vibration total values and noise
emission values can also be used for an ini-
tial assessment of the exposure.
■
The vibration total values and noise emission
values may differ from the given value during
actual use of the power tool, depending on
how the power tool is used.
■
Adhere the safety measures according to the
safety chapter. Try to keep the vibration load
as low as possible. Exemplary measures to
reduce vibration are the wearing of gloves
when using the tool and the limitation of
working time. All parts of the operating cycle
must be taken into account (e.g. times when
the power tool is switched off and those in
which it is switched on but runs without load).
Danger due to vibration
■
The actual magnitude of the vibration emis-
sions during the use of the appliance may de-
viate from that stated by the manufacturer.
Observe the following influencing factors be-
fore or during use:
■
Is the appliance being used as intended?
■
Is the material being cut or processed in
the proper manner?
■
Is the appliance in a proper condition of
use?
