PROFECO 77415 Instruction Manual page 18

5. Use and care of battery-powered tools
a) Charge only with the charger specified by the manufacturer. A charger
that is suitable for one type of battery can pose a fire hazard when used
with another type of battery.
b) Only use power tools with batteries intended for that purpose. The
use of other batteries may pose a risk of injury and fire.
c) When the battery pack is not in use, keep it away from other metal
objects, such as paper clips, coins, keys, nails, screws or other small
metal objects that can make a connection from one terminal to
another. Short-circuiting the battery terminals can cause burns or fires.
d) Under extreme conditions, liquid may come out of the battery; avoid
contact. If it comes in contact with the battery accidentally, flush with
water. If the liquid gets into the eyes, seek medical attention
immediately. Liquid coming from the battery may cause irritation or burns.
e) Do not use batteries or tools that are damaged or modified. Damaged
or modified batteries may behave unpredictably, leading to fire, explosion
or risk of injury.
f) Do not expose a battery or a tool to fire or excessive heat. Exposure to
fire or a temperature above 130 °C may cause an explosion.
NOTE: The temperature "130 °C" can be replaced by the temperature "265
°F".
g) Follow all charging instructions and do not charge the battery or tool
outside the temperature range specified in the instructions. Incorrect
charging or charging at temperatures outside the specified range can
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 ensures that the safety of the electrical
device is maintained.
b) Never service damaged batteries. Servicing of batteries may only be
carried out by the manufacturer or by authorised service companies.
Additional safety requirements for cordless drills
1. Use auxiliary handle(s), if supplied with the tool. Loss of control can cause
personal injury.
2. Hold the power tool by its insulated gripping surfaces when performing
any operation in which the cutting tool may come into contact with
concealed wiring. Cutting tools that come into contact with a "live" wire can
make exposed metal parts of the power tool "live" and give the user an electric
shock.
3. If possible, always use clamps or a vice to hold your work.
4. Always switch off the device before putting it down.
5. Provide sufficient lighting.
6. Do not apply pressure to the tool so that the motor slows down. Let the bit
screw without pressure. You will get better results and take better care of your
tools.
7. Keep the area free from tripping hazards
8. Only use accessory bits that are in good condition.
