Special Safety Instructions - Black & Decker BDCS36W Instruction Manual

16 • ENGLISH
making any adjustments, changing accessories,
or storing power tools. Such preventive safety measures
reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.
d. Store idle power tools out of the reach of children
and do not allow persons unfamiliar with the power
tool or these instructions to operate the power
tool. Power tools are dangerous in the hands
of untrained users.
e. Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment
or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and
any other condition that may affect the power
tools operation. If damaged, have the power tool
repaired before use. Many accidents are caused by
poorly maintained power tools.
f. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly
maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are
less likely to bind and are easier to control.
5. 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.
6. Electrical safety
Your tool is double insulated; therefore no earth
wire is required. Always check that the main voltage
corresponds to the voltage on the rating plate.
Warning! If the power cord is damaged, it must
be replaced by the manufacturer, authorized
BLACK+DECKER Service Center or an equally
qualified person in order to avoid damage or
injury. If the power cord is replaced by an equally
qualified person, but not authorized by
BLACK+DECKER, the warranty will not be valid.

SPECIAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

f Hold the power tool by the insulated grips when
working in areas where the bits can come into contact
with concealed electrical cables. Contact with a live
cable will cause the metal parts on the tool to also
become live – risk of electric shock.
f Secure the workpiece on a stable surface with clamps,
or the like. Holding the workpiece in your hand or
against your body will not give you a sufficiently firm
grip and can cause you to loose control.
f Do not drill, screw or drive in existing walls or other
areas where there may be hidden electrical cables.
If this is unavoidable, remove/switch off all fuses/
circuit breakers for the circuits affected by the work.
f Battery-powered tools are ready for use when the
battery is inserted – risk of unintentional start.
f Always wear safety glasses or other eye protection
when working with the tool.
f Make sure to properly insert bits/shanks into the chuck,
otherwise they could come loose during the work.
f Do not start the tool when carrying it by your side.
Rotating bits can get caught in clothes and cause
personal injury.
f Do not use dull or damaged bits and accessories. Dull
or damaged bits jam easier in the workpiece.
Warning! Some types of dust produced during sanding,
sawing, polishing and drilling etc. contain chemicals that
have proved to be carcinogenic, and cause foetal damage
or other fertility problems. Examples of such chemicals are:
f lead from lead-based paint
f crystalline silica from bricks, cement and other
Construction
masonry products
Earthing
Terminal
f arsenic and chromium from chemically treated wood.
Safety Alert
f The risk of exposure to these chemicals depends on
Symbol
how often you do this type of work. You can reduce

exposure to these chemicals by keeping the work area

such as a breathing mask that filters out microscopic
particles.
Battery/charger
f Carefully read all instructions and warnings on the
battery charger, the battery and the product that the
battery will be used for before using the battery charger.
f Do not dismantle the charger, or attempt to modify or
repair it. Do not use the charger if it has been subjected
