▶ Wear protective gloves when changing the accessory tool. Touching the
accessory tool can result in cuts and burns.
▶ Switch the product on only after you have brought it to the working
position.
▶ Wait until the product has come to a complete stop before you lay it
down.
▶ Take frequent breaks and do physical exercises to improve the blood
circulation in your fingers. High vibration during long periods of work can
lead to disorders of the blood vessels and nervous system in the fingers,
hands and wrists.
▶ Before beginning work, check the working area for concealed electric
cables or gas and water pipes. External metal parts of the product could
give you an electric shock or cause an explosion if you accidentally
damage an electric cable or a gas or water pipe.
▶ Secure the workpiece. Use clamps or a vice to hold the workpiece in
position. The workpiece is thus held more securely than by hand and
both hands remain free to operate the power tool.
2.4 Careful handling and use of batteries
▶ Comply with the following safety instructions for the safe handling
and use of Li-ion batteries. Failure to comply can lead to skin irritation,
severe corrosive injury, chemical burns, fire and/or explosion.
▶ Use only batteries that are in perfect working order.
▶ Treat batteries with care in order to avoid damage and prevent leakage
of fluids that are extremely harmful to health!
▶ Do not under any circumstances modify or tamper with batteries!
▶ Do not disassemble, crush or incinerate batteries and do not subject
them to temperatures over 80 °C (176 °F).
▶ Never use or charge a battery that has suffered an impact or been
damaged in any other way. Check your batteries regularly for signs of
damage.
▶ Never use recycled or repaired batteries.
▶ Never use the battery or a battery-operated power tool as a striking tool.
▶ Never expose batteries to the direct rays of the sun, elevated tempera-
ture, sparking, or open flame. This can lead to explosions.
▶ Do not touch the battery poles with your fingers, tools, jewelry, or other
electrically conductive objects. This can damage the battery and also
cause material damage and personal injury.
▶ Keep batteries away from rain, moisture and liquids. Penetrating moisture
can cause short circuits, electric shock, burns, fire and explosions.
▶ Use only chargers and power tools approved for the specific battery
type. Read and follow the relevant operating instructions.
▶ Do not use or store the battery in explosive environments.
