GENERAL SAFETY REGULATIONS

WARNING
When using battery-powered devices, the fundamental safety provisions must be complied with in order to lower the risk of fire, injury and leaks of liquid.
KEEP THESE INSTRUCTIONS SAFE. READ THEM REGULARLY AND EXPLAIN THEM TO ANYONE WHO MAY WANT TO USE THIS DEVICE. IF YOU LEND THIS DEIVCE, PLEASE
ALSO PASS ONTHESE INSTRUCTIONS.
The term "power tool" used in the safety information refers to mains-powered electric tools (with mains cable) and to battery-powered tools (without mains cable).
Workplace safety
•
Keep your work area clean and well lit. Messy or unlit work areas can lead to accidents.
•
Do not use the power tool in an explosive environment with flammable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools generate sparks, which can ignite the dust or vapours.
•
Keep children and other persons at a distance when using the power tool. If distracted, you may lose control of the device.
•
Do not use the device in bad weather if there is a danger that lightning could strike.
Electrical safety
·
Avoid physical contact with earthed surfaces such as pipes, heaters, ovens and fridges. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is earthed.
·
Keep power tools out of the rain and moisture. Water penetrating a power tool increases the risk of an electric shock.
Personal safety
·
Be alert. Be mindful of what you are doing and take care when working with a power tool. Do not use a power tool if you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol
or medication. A moment of inattention during use of the power tool can lead to serious injuries.
·
Wear personal protective equipment and always safety goggles. Wearing personal protective equipment such as dust masks, non-slip safety gloves, a helmet or ear protectors
reduces the risk of injuries depending on the type and use of power tool.
·
Avoid accidental start up. Ensure that the power tool is switched off before inserting the battery, lifting or carrying it. Touching the switch with your fingers while carrying the
power tool or inserting the battery while the power tool is on can lead to accidents.
·
Remove adjustment tools or screw keys before switching on the power tool. A tool or key inside a rotating part of the device can lead to injuries.
·
Avoid unergonomic postures. Make sure you have a firm footing and keep your balance at all times. This allows you to control the power tool better in unexpected situations.
·
Wear appropriate clothing. Do not wear loose-fitting clothing or jewellery. Keep hair, clothing and gloves away from moving parts. Loose-fitting clothing, jewellery and long
hair can get caught in moving parts.
Careful handling and use of power tools
·
Do not overload the tool. Use the right power tool for your task. You can work better and more safely within the specified performance range with the right power tool.
·
Do not use a power tool with a defective switch. A power tool which can no longer be switched on or off is dangerous and must be repaired.
·
Remove the battery before adjusting settings, replacing accessories or after use. The safety provisions prevent the power tool from starting accidentally.
·
Store all unused power tools out of the reach of children. Do not let persons use the device who are unfamiliar with it or who have not read these instructions. Power tools
are dangerous if they are used by inexperienced persons.
·
Carefully maintain your device. Check that the moving parts work correctly. Make sure that no part of the device is damaged. Check the assembly and all other elements
that could affect the operation of the device. If parts are damaged, you must have your device repaired before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained power
tools.
·
Use power tools, accessories, tool bits, etc. according to their instructions. Consider the working conditions and work to be performed. The use of power tools for purposes
other than the intended uses can lead to dangerous situations.
Specific safety provisions for battery-powered devices
·
Before inserting the battery, make sure that the switch is either at "Off" or is locked. Inserting a battery into a switched-on device can lead to accidents.
·
Charge your device's battery only with the charger specified by the manufacturer. An unsuitable charger can cause a fire if it is used with a battery type other than that specified
by the manufacturer.
·
For each battery-powered tool there is a specific battery type that must be used. The use of a different battery can cause a fire.
·
Keep an unused battery away from metal objects such as paperclips, coins, keys, screws, nails and all other objects that could come into contact with battery contacts. A
short circuit of the battery can cause burns or fires.
·
Avoid all contact with battery fluid due to misuse. If battery fluid escapes, the affected area must be rinsed with fresh water. See a doctor if battery fluid comes into contact
with the eyes. Leaked battery fluid can cause irritations or burns.
· All safety information regarding the handling, storage, safekeeping, transport, disposal of the lithium-ion battery and first-aid measures and measures for
combating fires is contained in the "Product safety datasheet" at www.sabo-online.com under Instructions.
