Preparation To Work - BorMann BCD1005 Owner's Manual

Personal safety
Commence work in good physical and psychological conditions. Pay attention to what you do. Do not work if you are tired or
under effects of medicines or alcohol. Even a moment's inattention during work may lead to serious injuries.
Always use individual means of protection. Always wear goggles. Using individual means of protection, such as dust masks,
protective shoes, helmets and hearing protections permits to reduce the risk of serious injuries.
Avoid accidental activation of the tool. Make sure the switch is in the OFF position, before you connect the tool to the mains.
Holding the tool with a finger on the switch or connecting an electric tool when the switch is in the ON position may lead to
serious injuries.
Before you turn an electric tool on remove all the spanners and other tools, which have been used for adjustments. A spanner
left on rotating elements of the tool may lead to serious injuries.
Keep your balance. Maintain an appropriate position. It will permit to control the electric tool in case of unpredicted situations
during its operation.
Use protective clothes. Do not wear loose clothes or jewellery. Keep your hair, clothes and gloves away from moving elements
of the electric tool. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair may get caught on moving elements of the tool.
Use dust extractors or dust containers, if the tool is equipped with any. Make sure they are properly connected. Using of dust
extractors permits to reduce the risk of serious injuries.
Operation of the electric tool
Do not overload the electric tool. Use a proper tool for the given purpose. A correct selection of the tool for the given work will
result in a more efficient and safer work.
Do not use the electric tool if the switch is not functioning properly. A tool which may not be controlled by means of a switch is
dangerous and must be repaired.
Disconnect the plug from the mains socket before any adjustment, replacement of accessories or storage of the tool. It will
permit to avoid accidental activation of the electric tool.
Store the tool away from children. Do not allow untrained persons to operate the tool. An electric tool may be dangerous in
hands of an untrained person.
Make sure the tool is properly maintained. Check the tool in order to detect any unfitting or loose moving elements. Check
whether the elements of the tool are not damaged. In case any damaged elements of the tool are detected, they must be
repaired before the electric tool is operated. Many accidents are caused by improper maintenance of tools.
Cutting tools must be sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools are easier to control during work.
Use electric tools and accessories in accordance with the aforementioned instructions. Use the tool in accordance with its
purpose, taking into account the kind and conditions of work. Should the tool be used for other applications than the ones it
has been designed for, the risk of a dangerous situation increases.
Repairs
The tool may be repaired only by authorised service centres, which must use solely original spare parts. It will guarantee a
proper level of safety of operation of the electric tool.

PREPARATION TO WORK

Battery charge safety instructions
Warning! Prior to charge make sure that the charger's body, cable and plug are not cracked and damaged. It is forbidden to use
inoperable or defective charging station and charger! Only charging station and charger supplied in a set may be used for
charging batteries. Use of other charger may cause a fire or destruction of the tool. Charging the battery may be carried out in
closed and dry room protected against an access of unauthorised persons, children in particular. It is not allowed to use
charging station and charger without supervision of adult person! If it is necessary to leave the room when the battery is being
charged, the charger should be disconnected by unplugging it from the mains. If a smoke, suspicious odour etc. is getting out
from the charger, the charger must be immediately unplugged from the mains.
Drill driver is supplied with uncharged battery, so it is required to charge it before the work in accordance with the procedure
described below, use the charger and charging station included in the set. Li-Ion batteries do not show the so-called "memory
effect" which allows charging them at any time. However it is recommended to discharge of battery during normal operation
and then charge it to full capacity. If due to the nature of work it is not possible to treat the battery this way each time, than it
must be done at least every couple or several work cycles. Under no circumstances it is allowed to discharge of battery by
shorting the electrodes as this causes irreversible damages! It is also not allowed to check the battery charge by shorting
electrodes and checking the sparking.
Battery storage
To prolong the lifetime of the battery it is necessary to ensure proper storage conditions. Battery can withstand approx. 500
"Charging - discharging" cycles. Battery must be stored at the temperature range of O to 30° C with 50% relative humidity. To
store the battery longer, it must be charged to approx. 70% of its capacity. In case of a longer storage time, it is required to
charge the battery periodically. It is not recommended to allow the excessive discharge of the battery as this shortens its
service life and may cause irreversible damages.
During its storage, the battery shall gradually discharge due to its leakage. The process of intrinsic discharge depends on
