General Working Stand Safety Warnings
•
Disconnect the plug from the power
source and/or the battery pack from
the power tool before making any
adjustments or changing accessories.
Accidental starting of the power tool is a
cause of some accidents.
•
Properly assemble the working stand
before mounting the tool. Proper assembly
is important to prevent risk of collapse.
•
Securely fasten the power tool to the
working stand before use. Power tool
shifting on the working stand can cause loss
of control.
•
Place the working stand on a solid, flat
and level surface. When the working stand
can shift or rock, the power tool or workpiece
cannot be steadily and safely controlled.
•
Do not overload the working stand or
use as ladder or scaffolding. Overloading
or standing on the working stand causes the
stand to be "top-heavy" and likely to tip over.
Additional safety instructions
We pay a great deal of attention to the design
of every battery pack to ensure that we supply
you with batteries which feature maximum
power density, durability and safety. The battery
cells have a wide range of safety devices.
Each individual cell is initially formatted and its
electrical characteristic curves are recorded.
These data are then used exclusively to be able
to assemble the best possible battery packs.
Despite all the safety precautions, caution
must always be exercised when handling
batteries. The following points must be
obeyed at all times to ensure safe use.
Safe use can only be guaranteed if
undamaged cells are used. Incorrect
handling can cause cell damage.
Caution! Analyses confi rm that incorrect use and
poor care are the main causes of the damage
caused by high performance batteries.
Information about the battery
1. The battery pack supplied with your cordless
tool is not charged. The battery pack has to
be charged before you use the tool for the fi rst
time.
2. For optimum battery performance avoid low
discharge cycles. Charge the battery pack
Anl_TE_MB_18_127_Li_SPK7_NA.indb 10 Anl_TE_MB_18_127_Li_SPK7_NA.indb 10
EN
frequently.
3. Store the battery pack in a cool place, ideally
at 59°F (15°C) and charged to at least 40%.
4. Lithium-Ion batteries are subject to a natural
ageing process. The battery pack must be
replaced at the latest when its capacity
falls to just 80% of its capacity when new.
Weakened cells in an aged battery pack are
no longer capable of meeting the high power
requirements and therefore pose a safety risk.
5. Do not throw battery packs into an open fi re.
There is a risk of explosion!
6. Do not ignite the battery pack or expose it to
fi re.
7. Do not exhaustively discharge batteries.
Exhaustive discharge will damage the battery
cells. The most common cause of deep
discharge is lengthy storage or non-use of
partly discharged batteries. Stop working as
soon as the performance of the battery falls
noticeably or the electronic protection system
triggers. Place the battery pack in storage
only after it has been fully charged.
8. Protect batteries and the tool from
overloads. Overloads will quickly result
in overheating and cell damage inside the
battery housing without this overheating
actually being apparent externally.
9. Avoid damage and shocks. Replace
batteries which have been dropped from
a height of more than one meter or which
have been exposed to violent shocks without
delay, even if the housing of the battery pack
appears to be undamaged. The battery cells
inside the battery may have suff ered serious
damage. In this respect, please also read the
waste disposal information.
10. If the battery pack suff ers overloading and
overheating, the integrated protective cut-
off will switch off the equipment for safety
reasons. Caution! Do not press the ON/OFF
switch any more if the protective cut-off has
actuated. This may damage the battery.
11. Use only original battery packs. The use
of other batteries may result in injuries,
explosion and a fi re risk.
12. Protect your rechargeable battery against
moisture, rain and high humidity. Moisture,
rain and high humidity can cause dangerous
cell damage. Never charge or work with
batteries which have been exposed to
moisture, rain or high humidity – replace them
immediately.
13. If your equipment is fi tted with a detachable
battery, remove the battery for safety reasons
