Safety Instructions For All Operations - Black & Decker BLD683 Manual

c. Remove the battery pack, if detachable, from the
power tool and/or activate any battery disabling
device before clearing jammed material, making any
adjustments, changing accessories, cleaning, 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 and accessories. 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, taking into
account the working conditions and the work to be
performed. Use of the power tool for operations different
from those intended could result in a hazardous situation.
h. Do not modify the tool. Modifications may reduce the
effectiveness of safety measures and increase the risks to
the operator and/or bystander.
i. Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry, clean and
free from oil and grease. Slippery handles and grasping
surfaces may lead to unsafe handling and/or loss of
control of the tool.
j. Keep hoses and electrical cables away from the
working area of the tool. During operation hoses and
electrical cables may be hidden from view and can be
accidentally damaged by the tool.
5. Battery tool use and care
a. 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.
b. Use power tools only with specifically designated
battery packs. Use of any other battery packs may create
a risk of injury and fire.
c. 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.
d. Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from
the battery; avoid contact. If contact accidentally
occurs, flush with water. If liquid contacts eyes,
(Original instructions)
additionally seek medical help. Liquid ejected from the
battery may cause irritation or burns.
e. Do not use a battery pack or tool that is damaged or
modified. Damaged or modified batteries may exhibit
unpredictable behaviour resulting in fire, explosion or risk
of injury.
f. Do not expose a battery pack or tool to fire or
excessive temperature. Exposure to fire or temperature
above 130 °C may cause 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 pack or tool outside the temperature range
specified in the instructions. Charging improperly or at
temperatures outside the specified range may damage the
battery and increase the risk of fire.
h. Never immerse the tool or battery pack in water.
Immersion in water increases the risk of overheating, fire
and/or explosion, which may result in personal injury and
property damage.
i. Never expose the tool or battery pack to corrosive or
conductive fluids, such as seawater, industrial
chemicals, bleach or products containing bleach, etc.
Entry of corrosive or conductive fluids increases the risk of
overheating, fire and/or explosion, which may result in
personal injury and property damage.
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.
b. Never service damaged battery packs. Service of
battery packs should only be performed by the
manufacturer or authorized service providers.

Safety Instructions for All Operations

• Wear ear protectors when impact drilling. Exposure to
noise can cause hearing loss.
• Brace the tool properly before use. This tool produces
a high output torque and without properly bracing the tool
during operation, loss of control may occur resulting in
personal injury.
• Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces, when
performing an operation where the cutting accessory
may contact hidden wiring. Cutting accessory contacting
a "live" wire may make exposed metal parts of the power
tool "live" and could give the operator an electric shock.
Safety Instructions When Using Long Drill Bits
• Never operate at higher speed than the maximum
speed rating of the drill bit. At higher speeds, the bit is
likely to bend if allowed to rotate freely without contacting
the workpiece, resulting in personal injury.
