Metabo SSW 18 LTX 400 BL Operating Instructions 2 - Page 6

en ENGLISH preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally. d) Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and do not allow persons unfamiliar with the power tool or these instructions to operate the power tool. Power tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users. e) Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any other condition that may affect the power tool's operation. If damaged, have the power tool repaired before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained power tools. f) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control. g) Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc. in accordance with these instructions, taking into account the working conditions and the work to be performed. Use of the power tool for operations different from those intended could result in a hazardous situation. 2.5 Battery tool use and care a) Recharge only with the charger specified by the manufacturer. A charger that is suitable for one type of battery pack may create a risk of fire when used with another battery pack. b) Use power tools only with specifically designated battery packs. Use of any other battery packs may create a risk of injury and fire. c) When battery pack is not in use, keep it away from other metal objects, like paper clips, coins, keys, nails, screws or other small metal objects, that can make a connection from one terminal to another. Shorting the battery terminals together may cause burns or a fire. d) Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from the battery; avoid contact. If contact accidentally occurs, flush with water. If liquid contacts eyes, additionally seek medical help. Liquid ejected from the battery may cause irritation or burns. 2.6 Service a) Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair person using only identical replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained. Ensure that the spot where you wish to work is free of power cables, gas lines or water pipes (e.g. using a metal detector). Protect battery packs from water and moisture! Do not expose battery packs to naked flame! Do not use faulty or deformed battery packs! Do not open battery packs! Do not touch or short-circuit battery packs! Slightly acidic, flammable fluid may leak from defective li-ion battery packs! If battery fluid leaks out and comes into contact with your skin, rinse immediately with plenty of water. If battery fluid leaks out and comes into contact with your eyes, wash them with clean water and seek medical attention immediately. Only screwdriving bits suitable for the impact screwdriver must be used. Take care when driving in long screws - risk of slipping. Mount the machine on the screw only when it is switched off. Wear ear protectors when working for long periods of time. High noise levels over a prolonged period of time may affect your hearing. Materials that generate dusts or vapours that may be harmful to health (e.g. asbestos) must not be processed. Remove the battery pack from the machine before any adjustments, conversions or servicing are performed. LED lights (4): Do not observe the LED radiation directly with optical instruments.
