General safety advice for electrical power tools
5. Careful handling and use of
rechargeable devices
a) Charge a rechargeable battery unit
using only the charger recommended
by the manufacturer. Chargers are often
designed for a particular type of rechargeable
battery unit. There is the danger of fire if other
types of rechargeable battery units are used.
b) Only the rechargeable battery units
supplied are to be used with an elec-
trical power tool. The use of other recharge-
able battery units may lead to the danger of
injury or fire.
c) When they are not being used, store
rechargeable battery units away from
paperclips, coins, keys. nails, screws
or other small metal objects that could
cause the contacts to be bridged. Short-
circuiting the contacts of a rechargeable battery
unit may result in heat damage or fire.
d)
WARNING!
Fluids may leak out of
rechargeable battery units if they are
misused. If this happens, avoid contact
with the fluid. If contact occurs, flush
the affected area with water. Seek
additional medical help if any of the
fluid gets into your eyes. Escaping battery
fluid may cause skin irritation or burns.
Safety advice relating
to cordless drill drivers
J Securely support the workpiece. A workpiece
held in a clamp or vice is kept more securely in
place than one held by your hand.
WARNING!
POISONOUS DUSTS!
J Harmful / noxious dusts generated from your
work represent a risk to the health of the person
operating the device and to anyone near the
work area.
Wear safety glasses and a dust
mask!
J Do not drill any material containing
asbestos. Asbestos is a known carcinogen.
J Hold the electrical power tool firmly.
High reaction torques may occur momentarily
during tightening or loosening of screws.
J If the inserted tool jams, switch off the
electrical power tool immediately. Be
prepared for high reaction torques as they may
cause kickback. The inserted tool may jam if
the electrical power tool is overloaded or is
held at an angle to the workpiece.
WARNING!
The inserted tool may
strike concealed electricity cables,
therefore when working you must
hold the electrical power tool by the
insulated handle areas only. Contact
with a live wire means that the metal parts of
the electrical power tools may become live and
this can result in an electric shock.
J Before you carry out any tasks on the
device, transport or store it, make
sure that the direction of rotation
switch is in the middle position (lock).
To prevent the device from starting up uninten-
tionally.
Q
Attention - Service lines!
c DANGER!
Take steps to ensure that you do not
hit upon any service lines (electricity,
gas, water) when working with elec-
trical appliances. Check, if need be with a
service line detector, before you start to cut or
bore into a surface.
Q
Original ancillaries /
accessories
J Use only the ancillaries and accessories
that are detailed in the operating
instructions.
The use of ancillaries and accessories other
than those recommended in the operating
instructions could lead to an increased risk of
personal injury for you.
