Correct Handling Of The Battery Charger; Residual Risks - Worcraft CAG-20Li Mode D'emploi

CORRECT HANDLING OF THE BATTERY CHARGER

a) This device can be used by children aged 8 and over and by
people with reduced physical, sensory or mental capacities or
with a lack of experience or knowledge, if they are supervised
or have been instructed regarding safe use of the device and
understand the resulting risks. Children are not permitted to
play with the device. Cleaning and user maintenance are not to
be undertaken by children without supervision.
b) Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not
play with the appliance.
c) To charge the battery, use only the charger supplied.
Risk of fire and explosion. This ensures that the safety of the
device is maintained.
d) Before each use, check the charger, cable and plug and
have them repaired by qualified professionals and only
with original parts. Do not use a defective charger and do not
open it up yourself. This ensures that the safety of the device is
maintained.
e) Connect the charger only to a socket with an earth.
Ensure that the mains voltage matches the specifications
on the charger rating plate. Risk of electric shock.
f) Disconnect the charger from the mains before closing or
opening connection to the battery / power tool / device.
g) Keep the charger clean and away from wet and rain. Do
not use the charger outdoors. Dirt and the entry of water
increase the risk of electric shock.
h) Operate the charger only with the appropriate original
batteries. Charging other batteries may result in injuries and
risk of fire.
i) Avoid mechanical damage to the charger. This can result
in internal short circuits.
j) Do not operate the charger on a combustible surface
(e.g. paper, textiles). Risk of fire due to heating during
charging.
k) If the power cable for this equipment is damaged, it must be
replaced by the manufacturer, a customer service agent of the
same or a similarly qualified person in order to prevent hazards.
l) The battery of the appliance is not fully charged at the time of
delivery. It therefore needs to be fully recharged before you use
it for the first time. For the first recharge cycle we recommend
that you charge the battery for about 1 hour. Slot the battery
into the base and plug the battery charger into a mains outlet.
m) When the battery is fully charged, unplug the charger from
the mains and from the appliance. Charging time is approx. 1
hour.
n) Do not charge the battery continuously since this may
damage the battery cells.
Note: Repeatedly charging small capacities may damage the
battery cells. Recharge the battery only if the appliance is
becoming slow.
o) Do not use the charger to charge nonrechargeable batteries.

RESIDUAL RISKS

Even if properly operating and handling this electric tool, some
residual risks will remain. Due to its construction and build, this
electric tool may present the following hazards:
a) Cuts
b) Ear damage if working without ear protection.
c) Damage to your health caused by swinging your hands and
arms when operating the appliance for longer periods of time or
if the unit is not held or maintained properly.
Warning! During operation, this electric tool generates an
electromagnetic field which, under certain circumstances,
may impair the functionality of active or passive medical implants.
To reduce the risk of serious or lethal injuries, we recommend that
persons with medical implants consult their doctor and the
manufacturer of their medical implant before operating the
machine.
Safety instructions for all applications
Common safety instructions for grinding, sanding,
working with wire brushes and cutting grinders:
• This electric tool is to be used as a grinder, sander,
wire brush and cutting grinder. Follow all safety
instructions, directives, illustrations and facts which
you receive with the device. If you do not follow these
instructions, an electrical shock, fire and/or serious injury
may occur.
• This electric tool is not suitable for cup brushes.
Using the electric tool in ways for which it is not intended
may cause hazards and injuries.
• This electric tool is not suitable for cup wheels,
mounted points or grinding cones. Using the electric
tool in ways for which it is not intended may cause
hazards and injuries.
• This electric tool is not suitable for polishing. Using
the electric tool in ways for which it is not intended may
cause hazards and injuries.
• Do not use any accessories that are not specifically
intended and recommended for this electric tool by
the manufacturer. Simply because an accessory can be
attached to your electric tool does not guarantee safe
operation.
• The allowable rotation speed of the attachment
tools must be at least as high as the highest rotation
speed indicated on the electric tool. Accessories that
run faster than the allowable speed can break and fly
apart.
• The outside diameter and thickness of the
attachment tool must correspond to the dimensions
indicated for your electric tool. Attachment tools which
are wrongly dimensioned cannot be sufficiently shielded
or controlled.
• Attachment tools with threaded attachment must fit
the threading of the grinding spindle exactly. For
attachment tools which are mounted through a
flange, the diameter of the hole in the attachment
tool must fit the mounting diameter of the flange.
Attachment tools which cannot be precisely attached to
the electric tool turn unevenly, vibrate very strongly and
can ultimately lead to a loss of control.
• Never use damaged attachment tools. Check
attachment tools such as grinding discs for chipping
or cracks, grinding plates for cracks, wear or strong
abrasion and wire brushes for loose or broken wires
before using them. If the electric tool or the
attachment tool falls off, check whether it is
damaged or, use an undamaged attachment tool. If
you have checked the attachment tool and attached
it, keep yourself and any nearby persons beyond the
level of the rotating attachment tool and allow the
device to run for 1 min. at the highest rotational
speed. Damaged tools usually break during this test
period.
• Wear personal safety equipment. Depending on the
application, use full face shields, eye protection or
safety goggles. In so far as it is appropriate, wear
dust masks, ear protection, gloves or special aprons
which keep small grinding and material particles
away from you. Eyes should be protected from the
foreign matter which can be caused to fly during the
various applications. Dust or breathing masks should
filter the dust that is created during operation. If you are
exposed to loud noise for a long time, you may suffer
hearing loss.
• Ensure that other people are at a safe distance to
your working area. Anyone who enters the working
