Overloading security

The overloading security protects the battery against excessive loading. The battery charger switches off automatically when the battery has been charged completely in order to protect the battery against overloading.

Deep de-charging protection

The battery is secured against too deep de-charging. This prevents the battery from de-charging further when a too low battery tension is reached.

Overheating protection

The battery has a built-in temperature sensor that stops the charging when the battery overheats. The temperature sensor protects the battery when the device is being used. Otherwise the battery could reach a dangerously high level in case of overloading or long-term use. In case of overheating the battery must first cool off before it can be used again. Depending on the ambient temperature and how the device is being used, it can take up to 30 minutes before the battery has cooled off sufficiently.

Overvoltage security

The battery is temporarily switched off to prevent damage if the maximum voltage is exceeded. The normal battery function is reset automatically some seconds after this security has been activated.

Short-circuiting security

The short-circuiting security switches off and immediately interrupts the circuit of the battery when the battery short-circuits. This prevents damage to the battery and/or the device.

Other risks

Even if the device is being used according to the instructions then it is still impossible to exclude all risk factors. The following potential risks are related to the design and the functionality of the device:

• damage to the lungs if a dust mask is not being used;
• hearing loss if no hearing protection is being used;
• eye damage is safety goggles are not being used;
• vibration damage if the device is being used too long or is not being maintained properly.

Vibrations

• Specified vibration values were measured according to a standard test method and can be used for comparison between devices.
• The specified values can also be used for a provisional assessment of the exposure.
• Vibration levels may deviate from the specified value, depending on how the device is being used.

- Try to reduce the exposure to vibrations by, for instance, wearing gloves and by taking regular breaks.

Brushes

• Do not fit brushes on machines that run faster than the maximum brush speed.
• Do not use damaged brushes.
• Discoloring as a result of rust, or other signs of chemical or mechanical modification of the brush material, can cause the brush to wear out in advance.
• Store brushes in a suitable place, protected from the following:
