Battery tools use and care
a) Recharge only with charger specified by the manufacturer. A charger
that is sutiable 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.
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
• Hold power tools by insulated gripping surfaces, when performing an
operation where the cutting accessory may contact hidden wiring.
Cutting accessory and/or fasteners contacting a "live" wire may make
exposed metal parts of the power tool "live" and give the operator an
electric shock. 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
• When using the drill, use safety equipment including safety glasses or
shield, ear defenders, and protective clothing including safety gloves. Wear
a dust mask if the drilling operation creates dust
• 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
• Ensure that the drill bit is securely fixed in the chuck. Insecure drill bits can
be ejected from the machine causing a hazard
• Ensure that the drill bit is in contact with the workpiece prior to starting up
the tool
• Before drilling, check that there is sufficient clearance for the drill bit under
the workpiece
• Do not put pressure on the tool, to do so would shorten its service life
• Drill bits get hot during operation, allow to cool prior to handling them
• Never use your hands to remove sawdust, chips or waste close by the bit
• If you are interrupted when operating the drill, complete the process and
switch off before looking up
• 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
• Always wait until the drill has come to a complete stop before putting it
down
• 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. Cutting
accessory and/or fasteners contacting a 'live' wire may make exposed
metal parts of the power tool 'live' and give the operator an electric shock.
Battery 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
