Additional Safety For Battery-Operated Screwdrivers; Battery Pack & Charger Safety - Triton T20 ID Instructions D'utilisation

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. Check for misalignment or binding of moving
parts, breakage of parts and any other condition that may affect the
power tool's 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.
Battery tools use and care
a) Recharge only with 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 and other small
metal objects that can make a connection from one terminal to
another. Shorting the battery terminals together may cause a 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 contact eyes, additionally seek medical help. Liquid ejected
from the battery may cause irritation or burns.
WARNING: When used in Australia or New Zealand, it is recommended that
this tool is ALWAYS supplied via Residual Current Device (RCD) with a rated
residual current of 30mA or less.
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.
Additional Safety for Battery-
Operated Screwdrivers
For safety relating to protective clothing/equipment and general health hazards
relating to power tools; refer to General and Electrical Safety sections in this
manual
Important: It is imperative to follow all national safety regulations concerning
installation, operation and maintenance
• Do not allow anyone under the age of 18 years to use this tool, and ensure
that operators are qualified and familiar with the operating and safety
instructions
• If batteries are to be charged outdoors, ensure that the power supply and
charger are protected against weather/moisture
• Use metal and voltage detectors to locate concealed electric, water or gas
lines. Avoid touching live components or conductors
• Ensure that the lighting is adequate
• Do not put pressure on the tool, to do so would shorten its service life
• Where possible, use clamps or a vice to hold your work
• Examine the chuck regularly for signs of wear or damage. Have damaged
parts repaired by a qualified service centre
• Periodically check all nuts, bolts and other fixings and tighten where
necessary
• Hold power tools by insulated gripping surfaces, when performing an
operation where the cutting accessory may contact hidden wiring.
Fasteners contacting a "live" wire may make exposed metal parts of the
power tool "live" and give the operator an electric shock.
Battery and Charger Safety
Use the battery charger correctly
• Refer to the section of this manual relating to use of the battery charger
before attempting to charge the battery.
• Do not attempt to use the charger with any batteries other than those
supplied. Keep your battery charger clean; foreign objects or dirt may
cause a short or block air vents. Failure to follow these instructions may
cause overheating or fire
• If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its
service agent or similarly qualified persons in order to avoid a hazard
• Examine the battery charger regularly for damage, especially the cord, plug
and enclosure. If the battery charger is damaged, it must not be used until
it has been repaired
• Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the
appliance
Warning: Do not recharge non-rechargeable batteries
Use batteries correctly
• Only charge batteries using the charger provided. Only use batteries
provided with this power tool, or others recommended by the supplier.
Keep batteries clean; foreign objects or dirt may cause a short. Allow
batteries to cool for 15 minutes after charging or heavy use. Failure to
follow these instructions may cause overheating or fire.
• When not in use batteries should be stored at room temperature (approx.
20˚C). Ensure that batteries cannot accidentally short in storage.
WARNING: Li-Ion batteries, if incorrectly used, stored or charged are a fire, burn
and explosion hazard.
• Keep the battery out of reach of children
• Only charge Li-Ion batteries using the charger provided or designed
specifically for your product
• Only use Li-Ion batteries provided with a product or specifically designed to
be compatible
• Allow batteries to cool for 15 minutes after charging or heavy use. Failure
to follow these instructions may cause overheating or fire
• When not in use batteries should be stored at room temperature
(approximately 20˚C)
• Ensure that battery contacts cannot accidentally short in storage. Keep
batteries clean; foreign objects or dirt may cause a short. Keep away from
other metal objects, for example paperclips, coins, keys, nails and screws
• Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from the battery. This
liquid may cause skin irritation or burns. Avoid contact. If contact
accidentally occurs, flush with water. If liquid contacts eyes, seek medical
help
• Do not open, disassemble, crush, heat above 60°C or incinerate. Do not
dispose of in fire or similar
Battery and charger safety features
The battery and charger are fitted with a number of safety features which may
be triggered during charging or operation:
• Over-charge protection: Charger automatically switches off when
the battery has reached full charge capacity, protecting the internal
components of the battery
• Over-discharge protection: Prevents the battery from discharging beyond
the recommended lowest safety voltage
• Over-heat protection: Sensor switches off if the battery becomes too
hot during operation. This can happen if the tool is overloaded or being
used for extended periods of time. Up to 30 minutes cooling time may be
required depending on the ambient temperature
• Overload protection: Battery temporarily stops if it is overloaded or the
maximum current draw is exceeded, protecting the internal components.
The battery will resume normal operation when the current draw returns to
a normal safe level. This may take a few seconds
• Short circuit protection: The battery will stop working immediately if a short
circuit occurs, this prevents damage to the battery or tool
