Eckman EKBP1 Instruction Manual page 4

g) If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and collection facilities, ensure these are
connected and properly used. Use of these devices can reduce dust related hazards.
4) Power tools use and care
a) Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for your application. The correct power tool will do the
job better and safer at the rate for which it was designed.
b) Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it on and off. Any power tool that cannot be controlled with
the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
c) Disconnect the plug from the power source before 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.
g) Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc., in accordance with these instructions and in the manner
intended for the particular type of power tool, taking into account the working conditions and the work to be
performed. Use of the power tool for operations different form intended could result in a hazardous situation.
5) Battery tool use and care
a) Ensure the switch is in the off position before inserting battery pack. Inserting the battery pack into power tools
that have the switch on invites accidents.
b) 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.
c) Use power tools only with specifically designated battery packs. Use of any other battery packs may create a
risk of injury and fire.
d) 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.
e) 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.
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.
Additional safety instructions for battery and charger Battery
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY AND KEEP IN A SAFE PLACE FOR FUTURE REFERENCE.
1. Do not incinerate the battery even if it is severely damaged or is completely worn out. The battery can explode in a fire.
2. A small leakage of liquid from the battery cells may occur under extreme usage or temperature conditions. This does
not indicate a failure. However, if the outer seal is broken and this leakage gets on your skin:
a. Wash quickly with soap and water.
b. Neutralize with a mild acid such as lemon juice or vinegar.
c. If battery liquid gets in your eyes, flush them with clean water for a minimum of minutes and seek immediate medical
attention. (Medical notes: the liquid is 25-35% solution of potassium hydroxide.)
3. Do not connect the positive pole and the negative pole of the battery with any metal objects. Battery could be short
circuited causing damage to the battery and possibly causing severe burns or fire.
4. Charge the battery only in the chargers supplied with the product.
5. NOTE: The battery in your tool is the Lithium-ion type, with no self-discharge or memory effect.
