Special Safety Instructions - Matrix X-One 20V Manuel D'utilisation

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) Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry,
clean and free from oil and grease.
Slippery handles and grasping surfaces do not
allow for safe handling and control of the
tool in unexpected situations.
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, 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.
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.
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.

4. Special safety instructions

• Hold power tool by insulated gripping
surfaces, when performing an operation where
the cutting accessory or fastener may contact
hidden wiring. Cutting accessory and
fasteners contacting a "live" wire may make
exposed metal parts of the power tool "live"
and could give the operator an electric shock.
• Use appropriate detectors to determine if
utility lines are hidden in the work area or
call the local utility company for assistance.
Contact with electric lines can lead to fire and
electric shock. Damaging a gas line can lead
to explosion. Penetrating a water line causes
property damage or may cause an electric shock.
• Switch off the power tool immediately
when the tool insert jams. Be prepared for
high reaction torque that can cause kickback.
The tool insert jams when:
— the power tool is subject to overload or
— it becomes wedged in the workpiece.
• Hold the machine with a firm grip. High
reaction torque can briefly occur while driving
