General Power Tool Safety Warnings

WARNING

Read all safety warnings and all instructions. Failure to follow the warnings and instructions may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.

Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.

The term „power tool“ in the warnings refers to your mains-operated (cordepower tool or battery-operated (cordless) power tool.

1) Work area safety

a) Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.

b) Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
c) Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.

2) Electrical safety

a) Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs with earthed (groundepower tools. Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.
b) Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces, such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is earthed or grounded.
c) Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
d) Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging the power tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock.
e) When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.
f) If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a residual current device (RCprotected supply. Use of an RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.

3) Personal safety

a) Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a power tool. Do not use a power tool while you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.

Risk of injury if the On/Off button is pressed unintentionally.

Battery charging/charging process

Do not use any other charger. The charger included has been designed for a Li-ion battery in your appliance.

Respect the system voltage! The current source voltage must match the details on the type label of the charger.

Caution: The battery is supplied partially charged. To guarantee the full performance of the battery, charge the battery by a charger to the full extent before using the appliance for the first time.

The Li-Ion battery may be charged at any time without the service life being shortened as a result. Charging interruption does not damage the battery.

Due to the intelligent charging, the battery charging state is automatically recognised and the battery is always charged by the optimum charging current, depending on the temperature and voltage. By this, the battery is treated smoother and stays fully charged when kept in the charger.

Caution: Charging is only possible when the battery temperature is within the admissible temperature range. See the instructions on the battery.

Charging instructions

The charger may get warm in continuous or consecutive charging cycles with no interruption. However, this is not a defective state and it is no technical defect of the charger.

A significantly shortened operation time after charging indicates that the battery is worn out and it must be replaced.

The battery has been fitted with an NTC temperature sensor, allowing charging within 0^ C - 40^ C only. Long service life of the battery is achieved by this.

The Li-ion battery is fitted with „Electronic Cell Protection (ECP)“ against deep discharge. The appliance switches off by the protection circuit when the battery is discharged the appliance is no longer working.

Notes to the lithium-ion battery

Its utility life is several years, which however much depends on the use and storage conditions.

The lithium-ion battery capacity gets reduced over time, even without being used, which is caused by a parasitic reaction of lithium with the electrolyte.

The manufacturer recommends storage at 15^ C and 60% charging level, a compromise between accelerated aging and self-discharge. The battery should always be charged to 40-60% approximately once in six months.

Lithium-ion batteries may only be charged by special electronics.

Fumes can leak in case of damage and unauthorised use of the battery pack. Supply fresh air and seek medical advice if facing any problem. Fumes can irritate the respiratory system.

Disposal

Note to the disposal arising from icons placed on the appliance or on the package. Description of the meanings can be found in section "Marking".

Environmentally safe disposal of batteries

The batteries are according to the current state of technology best suited for the power supply of electrical devices, independent of the mains. If lithium-ion cells are disposed with other household waste, they are harmful to the environment. The batteries are lithium-ion accumulators and are therefore subject to special waste disposal processes. Have any defective batteries disposed by a specialised shop. The batteries must be taken out before scrapping the appliance.

Do not dispose of electrical appliances in the household waste.

According to European Directive 2002/96/EC on waste electrical and electronic equipment and transposition to the national law, worn electrical equipment must be collected separately and put to recycling.

Recycling alternative to the return requirement: As an alternative to recycling, the owner of the electrical equipment is obliged to provide assistance in professional recycling. For this purpose, an old appliance can be put to a collection centre that will dispose of it in accordance with the national circulation management and the Waste Act.

This does not apply to accessories connected to old appliances and auxiliary equipment without electrical components.

Transport packaging disposal

The packaging protects the appliance against damage during transport. Packaging materials are usually chosen according to environmental-friendliness and waste treatment aspects and can therefore be recycled. Returning the packaging to material circulation saves raw materials and reduces waste. Parts of packaging (e.g. foils, styrofoam ^® ) can be dangerous to children.

Risk of suffocation! Keep the packaging out of reach of children and dispose them as quickly as possible.
