8.6 Checking the power tool after care and
maintenance
After carrying out care and maintenance work on
the power tool, check that all protective and safety
devices are fitted and that they function faultlessly.
9. Troubleshooting
Fault
The power tool doesn't run.
The on / off switch can't be
pressed, i.e. the switch is
locked.
Running speed suddenly
drops considerably.
The battery runs down more
quickly than usual.
The battery doesn't engage
with an audible click.
The power tool or the battery
become very warm.
10. Disposal
CAUTION
Improper disposal of the equipment may have serious consequences: The burning of plastic components
generates toxic fumes which may present a health hazard. Batteries may explode if damaged or exposed to
very high temperatures, causing poisoning, burns, acid burns or environmental pollution. Careless disposal
may permit unauthorized and improper use of the equipment. This may result in serious personal injury, injury
to third parties and pollution of the environment.
CAUTION
Dispose of defective batteries without delay. Keep them out of reach of children. Do not attempt to open or
dismantle batteries and do not dispose of them by incineration.
