▪ 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 connection 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.
5.6 Service
▪ Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair person using only identical
replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.
6 ADDITIONAL SAFETY-HINTS FOR SANDERS
▪ Always wear safety-goggles and a dust-mask during your work with the finishing-sander.
▪ Always secure the work piece by clamps or else to avoid slipping away.
▪ Always keep the holes in the base plate clean from dust.
▪ Always connect a vacuum cleaner to the attached adaptor during your work.
▪ Take special care when sanding lead based paint:
− All persons entering the work area must wear a mask specially designed for protection
against lead paint dust and fumes.
− Children and pregnant women must not enter the work area.
− Do not eat, drink or smoke in the work area.
▪ Do not leave the tool running. Operate the tool only when hand-held.
▪ Ventilate your work area adequately when you perform sanding operations.
▪ Be sure that there are no cracks or breakage on the pad before use. Cracks or breakage
may cause a personal injury.
7 ADDITIONAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR BATTERIES AND
CHARGERS
Use only batteries and chargers applicable for this machine.
7.1 Batteries
▪ Never attempt to open for any reason.
▪ Do not store in locations where the temperature may exceed 40 °C.
▪ Charge only at ambient temperatures between 4 °C and 40 °C.
▪ When disposing of batteries, follow the instructions given in the section “Protecting the
environment”.
▪ Do not cause short circuits. If connection is made between the positive (+) and negative (-)
terminal directly or via accidental contact with metallic objects, the battery is short
circuited and an intense current will flow causing heat generation which may lead to
casing rupture or fire.
▪ Do not heat. If batteries are heated to above 100 °C, sealing and insulating separators
and other polymer components may be damaged resulting in electrolyte leakage and/or
internal short circuiting leading to heat generation causing rupture or file. Moreover do
not dispose of the batteries in fire, explosion and/or intense burning may result.
▪ Under extreme conditions, battery leakage may occur. When you notice liquid on the
battery, proceed as follows:
- Carefully wipe the liquid off using a cloth. Avoid skin contact.
- In case of skin or eye contact, follow the instructions below:
✓ Immediately rinse with water. Neutralize with a mild acid such as lemon juice or
vinegar.
