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. Recommendation
We recommend that the tool always be supplied via
residual curtrent device with a rated residual current of 30
mA or less.
2. Additional Safety Rules
Hold the equipment by the insulated handles
when carrying out work during which the screw
or the plug-in tool could strike concealed power
cables. Contact with a live cable may also make
the metal parts of the equipment live and cause
an electric shock.
We pay a great deal of attention to the design
of every battery pack to ensure that we supply
you with batteries which feature maximum
power density, durability and safety. The battery
cells have a wide range of safety devices. Each
individual cell is initially formatted and its
electrical characteristic curves are recorded.
This data is then used exclusively to be able to
assemble the best possible battery packs. Despite
all the safety precautions, caution must always be
exercised when handling batteries. The following
points must be obeyed at all times to ensure safe
use.
Safe use can only be guaranteed if undamaged
cells are used. Incorrect handling can cause cell
damage.
Important! Analyses confirm that incorrect use
and poor care are the main causes of the damage
caused by high performance batteries.
Information about the battery
1.
The battery pack supplied with your cordless
tool is not charged. The battery pack has to
be charged before you use the tool for the
first time.
2.
For optimum battery performance avoid low
discharge cycles. Charge the battery pack
frequently.
3.
Store the battery pack in a cool place, ideally
at 15°C and charged to at least 40%.
4.
Lithium-ion batteries are subject to a natural
ageing process. The battery pack must be
replaced at the latest when its capacity
falls to just 80% of its capacity when new.
Weakened cells in an aged battery pack are
no longer capable of meeting the high power
requirements and therefore pose a safety
risk.
6
5.
Do not throw battery packs into an open fire.
There is a risk of explosion!
6.
Do not ignite the battery pack or expose it
to fire.
7.
Do not exhaustively discharge batteries.
Exhaustive discharge will damage the battery
cells. The most common cause of exhaustive
discharge is lengthy storage or non-use of
partly discharged batteries. Stop working
as soon as the performance of the battery
falls noticeably or the electronic protection
system triggers. Place the battery pack in
storage only after it has been fully charged.
8.
Protect batteries and the tool from
overloads. Overloads will quickly result in
overheating and cell damage inside the
battery housing without this overheating
actually being apparent externally.
9.
Avoid damage and shocks. Replace batteries
which have been dropped from a height of
more than one meter or which have been
exposed to violent shocks without delay,
even if the housing of the battery pack
appears to be undamaged. The battery cells
inside the battery may have suffered serious
damage. In this respect, please also read the
waste disposal information.
10.
If the battery pack suffers overloading and
overheating, the integrated protective cut-
off will switch off the equipment for safety
reasons. Important! Do not press the ON/
OFF switch any more if the protective cut-off
has actuated. This may damage the battery
pack.
11.
Use only original battery packs. The use
of other batteries may result in injuries,
explosion and a fire risk.
Information on chargers and the charging
process
1.
Please check the data marked on the rating
plate of the battery charger. Be sure to
connect the battery charger to a power
supply with the voltage marked on the rating
plate. Never connect it to a different mains
voltage.
2.
Protect the battery charger and its cable
from damage and sharp edges. Have
damaged cables repaired without delay by a
qualified electrician.
3.
Keep the battery charger, batteries and the
cordless tool out of children's reach.
4.
Do not use damaged battery chargers.
5.
Do not use the supplied battery charger to
charge other cordless tools.
6.
In heavy use the battery pack will become
warm. Allow the battery pack to cool to
room temperature before commencing with
the charging.
