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 un-
expected situations .
5 . Use and handling of the cordless
electrical power tool
a) Charge the rechargeable battery unit using
only the charger recommended by the manu-
facturer. Chargers are often designed for a
particular type of rechargeable battery unit .
There is a risk of fire if the battery charger speci-
fied for a particular type of battery is used with
other batteries .
b) Only the rechargeable battery units supplied
are to be used with an electrical power tool.
The use of other rechargeable battery units may
lead to the danger of injury or fire .
c) When they are not being used, store re-
chargeable battery units away from paper-
clips, coins, keys, nails, screws or other small
metal objects that could cause the contacts
to be bridged. Short-circuiting the contacts of
a rechargeable battery unit may result in heat
damage or fire .
d) Fluids may leak out of rechargeable battery
units if they are misused. If this happens,
avoid contact with the fluid. If contact occurs,
flush the affected area with water. Seek addi-
tional medical help if any of the fluid gets into
your eyes. Escaping battery fluid may cause
skin irritation or burns .
CAUTION! RISK OF EXPLOSION!
Never charge non-rechargeable
batteries!
■
Protect the rechargeable battery from heat,
for example from continuous exposure to
sunlight, fire, water and moisture. There is a
risk of explosion .
6 . Service
a) Have your power tool serviced by a qualified
repair person using only identical replace-
ment parts. This will ensure that the safety of
the power tool is maintained .
PSF 4.6 A1
Safety guidelines for screw drivers
WARNING!
■
Hold the power tool by the insulated
gripping surfaces when performing an
operation where a screw may contact
hidden wiring. If a screw comes into contact
with a live wire, this may make exposed
metal parts of the power tool live and could
give the operator an electric shock .
■
Secure the workpiece! A workpiece securely
held by a clamping device or vice is much safer
than one held in your hand .
■
Hold the power tool firmly. High reaction
moments can occur for brief periods while
tightening and loosening screws .
■
Switch the power off immediately if the tool
blocks while in use. Be prepared for high reac-
tion moments as these can cause kickback .
■
While working on the appliance, transporting
it or storing it, always set the rotation direc-
tion switch to the centre position (lock).
This prevents the power tool from starting up
unintentionally .
Extended safety guidelines
■
Do not use a damaged or modified battery.
Damaged or modified batteries may behave
unexpectedly and cause fires, explosions or
pose a risk of injury .
■
Do not expose a battery to fire or excessively
high temperatures. Fire or temperatures in
excess of 130°C (265°F) can cause an ex-
plosion .
■
Follow all instructions regarding charging
and never charge the battery or the cordless
tool outside of the temperature range given in
the operating instructions. Incorrect charging
or charging outside of the permissible tempera-
ture range can destroy the battery and increase
the risk of fire .
