5) Battery Tool Use and Care
a ) Recharge only with the charger specified by the
manufacturer. A charger that is suitable for one type
of battery pack may create a risk of fire when used with
another battery pack.
b ) Use power tools only with specifically designated
battery packs. Use of any other battery packs may create
a risk of injury and fire.
c ) 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.
d ) 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.
e ) Do not use a battery pack or tool that is damaged or
modified. Damaged or modified batteries may exhibit
unpredictable behaviour resulting in fire, explosion or risk
of injury.
f ) Do not expose a battery pack or tool to fire or
excessive temperature. Exposure to fire or temperature
above 130 °C may cause explosion.
g ) Follow all charging instructions and do not charge
the battery pack or tool outside the temperature
range specified in the instructions. Charging
improperly or at temperatures outside the specified range
may damage the battery and increase the risk of fire.
6) Service
a ) 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.
b ) Never service damaged battery packs. Service
of battery packs should only be performed by the
manufacturer or authorized service providers.
Additional Specific Safety Instructions
for Shears
•
Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces, when
performing an operation where the cutting accessory
may contact hidden wiring. Cutting accessory contacting
a "live" wire may make exposed metal parts of the power tool
"live" and could give the operator an electric shock.
•
Cut material at or below rated capacity.
•
NEVER have any part of your body near the blades.
Serious personal injury may result.
Keep hands away from cutting area. A moment of
•
inattention while operating power tools may result in serious
personal injury.
•
ALWAYS wear gloves when handling sheet metal. The edges
are sharp and can cause serious personal injury.
•
Firmly secure the piece of metal to be cut to prevent
movement during cutting.
ALWAYS start tool before engaging material to be cut.
•
•
ALWAYS use tool with curl deflector.
•
If possible, cut material so scrap curl is to the right. This
direction will move curl down and out of the way.
Use shears upright. If tool is upside down, metal curl may
•
turn toward you.
•
DO NOT use the shear with any kind of accessory
or attachment.
•
Always wear safety shoes to protect your feet from sharp
metal debris on the floor.
•
Keep all screws tight. Check periodically for loosening.
•
Do not place anything into the motor housing openings.
•
Clean out your tool often, especially after heavy use.
Dust and grit containing metal particles often accumulate on
interior surfaces and could create an electric shock hazard.
•
Stay clear of end pieces that may fall after being cut off.
Contact with a sharp edge could result in personal injury.
Residual Risks
In spite of the application of the relevant safety regulations
and the implementation of safety devices, certain residual risks
cannot be avoided. These are:
•
Impairment of hearing.
•
Risk of personal injury due to flying particles.
•
Risk of burns due to accessories becoming hot
during operation.
•
Risk of personal injury due to prolonged use.
