Fein ASCD12-100W4 Serie Mode D'emploi page 21

Intended use of the power tool:
Hand-held impact wrench for screwing in and unscrew-
ing screws and nuts in weather-protected environ-
ments without water supply using the application tools
and accessories recommended by FEIN.
Special safety instructions.
Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces, when
performing an operation where the fastener may con-
tact hidden wiring. Fasteners contacting a "live" wire
may make exposed metal parts of the power tool "live"
and could give the operator an electric shock.
Beware of any concealed electric cables, gas or water
conduits. Check the working area before commencing
work, e. g. with a metal detector.
Use ear protection during operation.
Wear personal protective equipment. Depending on
application, use face shield, safety goggles or safety
glasses. Where appropriate, wear dust mask, hearing
protectors, gloves and workshop apron capable of stop-
ping small abrasive or workpiece fragments. The eye
protection must be capable of stopping flying debris
generated by various operations. The dust mask or res-
pirator must be capable of filtrating particles generated
by your operation. Prolonged exposure to high inten-
sity noise may cause hearing loss.
Secure the work piece firmly. A work piece that is
gripped tightly in a clamping device or vice, is more
secure than if held by hand.
Hold the power tool firmly. High reaction torque can
briefly occur.
Do not work materials containing magnesium. Danger
of fire.
Do not work CFP (carbon-fiber-reinforced polymer) and
materials containing asbestos. These materials are con-
sidered carcinogenic.
Do not rivet or screw any name-plates or signs onto the
power tool. If the insulation is damaged, protection
against an electric shock will be ineffective. Adhesive
labels are recommended.
Do not use accessories which are not specifically
designed and recommended by the power tool manu-
facturer. Safe operation is not ensured merely because
an accessory fits your power tool.
Ensure that the accessory is securely fastened each
time before using. When using a square drive with drill
hole, the accessory must additionally be positively
locked. Loose or not securely fastened accessories can
become loose or be thrown off.
Clean the ventilation openings on the power tool at reg-
ular intervals using non-metal tools. The blower of the
motor draws dust into the housing. An excessive accu-
mulation of metallic dust can cause an electrical hazard.
Never look or stare into the light of the power tool's
lamp from a short distance. Never point the light of the
lamp into the eyes of other persons in close vicinity.
The radiation produced by the lamp can be harmful for
the eye.
Do not direct the power tool against yourself, other per-
sons or animals. Danger of injury from sharp or hot
application tools.
Switch the power tool off immediately when the appli-
cation tool blocks. Do not switch the power tool on
again while the application tool is blocked; this could
lead to kickback with high reaction torque. Determine
and correct the cause of the blockage of the application
tool, taking the safety warnings into account. Possible
causes could be:
– Jamming in the workpiece
– Breaking through the material being worked
– Overloading the power tool.
Use and handling of the battery (battery pack).
To avoid hazardous situations such as burns, fire,
explosion, skin injuries, and other injuries when han-
dling the battery, observe the following instructions:
Batteries must not be disassembled, opened or reduced
in size. Do not subject batteries to mechanical impact
or shock. Hazardous vapours and fluid can escape in
case of damage and improper use of the battery. The
vapours can irritate the respiratory system. Liquid
ejected from the battery may cause skin irritations or
burns.
When battery fluid from a damaged battery has come
into contact with objects close by, check the respective
components, clean them or replace them as required.
Keep the battery away from heat and fire. Do not store
the battery in direct sunlight.
Do not remove the battery from its original packaging
until it is going to be used.
Before any work on the machine itself, remove the bat-
tery from the power tool. If the power tool accidentally
starts, there is danger of injury.
Mount the battery only when the power tool is switched
off.
Remove the battery only when the power tool is
switched off.
Keep the battery away from children.
Keep the battery clean and protect it against moisture
and water. Clean contaminated battery terminals and
power tool connections with a dry, clean cloth.
Use only intact original FEIN batteries that are intended
for your power tool. When working with and charging
incorrect, damaged, repaired or reconditioned batter-
ies, imitations or other brands, there is danger of fire
and/or explosion.
Follow the safety warnings in the operating instructions
of the battery charger.
Hand/arm vibrations
The vibration emission level given in this information
sheet has been measured in accordance with a stand-
ardised test given in EN 62841 and may be used to
compare one tool with another. It may be used for a
preliminary assessment of exposure.
The declared vibration emission level represents the
main applications of the tool. However, if the tool is
used for different applications, with different accesso-
