Additional Battery Safety Warnings - Ryobi RAG18115 Bedienungsanleitung

operating procedures or conditions and can be avoided by
taking proper precautions as given below.
■
Maintain a firm grip with both hands on the power
tool and position your body and arms to allow you to
resist kickback forces. Always use auxiliary handle,
if provided, for maximum control over kickback or
torque reaction during start-up. The operator can
control torque reactions or kickback forces, if proper
precautions are taken.
■
Never place your hand near the rotating accessory.
Accessory may kickback over your hand.
■
Do not position your body in the area where power
tool will move if kickback occurs. Kickback will propel
the tool in direction opposite to the wheel's movement at
the point of snagging.
■
Use special care when working corners, sharp
edges, etc. Avoid bouncing and snagging the
accessory. Corners, sharp edges or bouncing have a
tendency to snag the rotating accessory and cause loss
of control or kickback.
■
Do not attach a saw chain woodcarving blade,
segmented diamond wheel with a peripheral gap
greater than 10 mm or toothed saw blade. Such
blades create frequent kickback and loss of control.
Safety warnings specific for grinding and cutting-off
operations
■
Use only wheel types that are specified for your
power tool and the specific guard designed for the
selected wheel. Wheels for which the power tool was
not designed cannot be adequately guarded and are
unsafe.
■
The grinding surface of centre depressed wheels
must be mounted below the plane of the guard lip.
An improperly mounted wheel that projects through the
plane of the guard lip cannot be adequately protected.
■
The guard must be securely attached to the power
tool and positioned for maximum safety, so the least
amount of wheel is exposed towards the operator.
The guard helps to protect the operator from broken
wheel fragments, accidental contact with wheel and
sparks that could ignite clothing.
■
Wheels must be used only for specified applications.
For example: do not grind with the side of cut-
off wheel. Abrasive cut-off wheels are intended for
peripheral grinding, side forces applied to these wheels
may cause them to shatter.
■
Always use undamaged wheel flanges that are of
correct size and shape for your selected wheel.
Proper wheel flanges support the wheel thus reducing
the possibility of wheel breakage. Flanges for cut-off
wheels may be different from grinding wheel flanges.
■
Do not use worn down wheels from larger power
tools. A wheel intended for larger power tool is not
suitable for the higher speed of a smaller tool and may
burst.
■
When using dual purpose wheels always use the
correct guard for the application being performed.
Failure to use the correct guard may not provide the
desired level of guarding, which could lead to serious
injury.
Additional safety warnings specific for cutting-off
operations
■
Do not "jam" the cut-off wheel or apply excessive
pressure. Do not attempt to make an excessive
depth of cut. Overstressing the wheel increases the

loading and susceptibility to twisting or binding of the
wheel in the cut and the possibility of kickback or wheel
breakage.
■
Do not position your body in line with and behind
the rotating wheel. When the wheel, at the point of
operation, is moving away from your body, the possible
kickback may propel the spinning wheel and the power
tool directly at you.
■
When the wheel is binding or when interrupting a cut
for any reason, switch off the power tool and hold
it motionless until the wheel comes to a complete
stop. Never attempt to remove the cut-off wheel
from the cut while the wheel is in motion otherwise
kickback may occur. Investigate and take corrective
action to eliminate the cause of wheel binding.
■
Do not restart the cutting operation in the workpiece.
Let the wheel reach full speed and carefully re-enter
the cut. The wheel may bind, walk up or kickback if the
power tool is restarted in the workpiece.
■
Support panels or any oversized workpiece to
minimize the risk of wheel pinching and kickback.
Large workpieces tend to sag under their own weight.
Supports must be placed under the workpiece near the
line of cut and near the edge of the workpiece on both
sides of the wheel.
■
Use extra caution when making a "pocket cut" into
existing walls or other blind areas. The protruding
wheel may cut gas or water pipes, electrical wiring or
objects that can cause kickback.
■
Do not attempt to do curved cutting. Overstressing
the wheel increases the loading and susceptibility
to twisting or binding of the wheel in the cut and the
possibility of kickback or wheel breakage, which can
lead to serious injury.
ADDITIONAL SAFETY WARNINGS
■
Clamp the workpiece with a clamping device. Unclamped
workpieces can cause severe injury and damage.
■
Injuries may be caused, or aggravated, by prolonged
use of a tool. When using any tool for prolonged periods,
ensure you take regular breaks.
■
Ambient temperature range for tool during operation is
between 0°C and 40°C.
■
Ambient temperature range for tool storage is between
0°C and 40°C.
■
The recommended ambient temperature range for the
charging system during charging is between 10°C and
38°C.

ADDITIONAL BATTERY SAFETY WARNINGS

To reduce the risk of fi re, personal injury, and product
damage due to a short circuit, never immerse your tool,
battery pack or charger in fl uid or allow a fl uid to fl ow inside
them. Corrosive or conductive fl uids, such as seawater,
certain industrial chemicals, and bleach or bleach-containing
products, etc., can cause a short circuit.
■
Ambient temperature range for battery during use is
between 0°C and 40°C.
■
Ambient temperature range for battery storage is
between 0°C and 20°C.
TRANSPORTING LITHIUM BATTERIES
Transport the battery in accordance with local and national
provisions and regulations.
