Additional Battery Safety Warnings; Transporting Lithium Batteries; Know Your Product - Ryobi Rct18Bl Bedienungsanleitung

Maintain a firm grip on the power tool and position
your body and arm 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 line with the rotating
wheel. 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.
Do not "jam" the 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.
When wheel is binding or when interrupting a cut
for any reason, switch off the power tool and hold
the power tool motionless until the wheel comes to
a complete stop. Never attempt to remove the 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
ADDITIONAL SAFETY WARNINGS
Clamp workpiece with a clamping device. Unclamped
use of a tool. When using any tool for prolonged periods,
ensure you take regular breaks.
The product will restart automatically if stalled. Switch
off the product immediately if it stalls. Do not switch
on the product again while it is still stalled, as doing so
could trigger a sudden recoil with a high reactive force.
Determine why the product stalled and rectify this,
paying heed to the safety instructions.

damage due to a short circuit, never immerse your
tool, battery pack or charger in fluid or allow a fluid to
flow inside them. Corrosive or conductive fluids, 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
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.
Follow all special requirements on packaging and labelling
when transporting batteries by a third party. Ensure that
no batteries can come in contact with other batteries
or conductive materials while in transport by protecting
exposed connectors with insulating, non-conductive caps or
tape. Do not transport batteries that are cracked or leaking.
Check with the forwarding company for further advice.

MAINTENANCE
The product should never be connected to a power
cleaning, performing maintenance, or when the product
is not in use. Disconnecting the product from the power
supply will prevent accidental starting that could cause
When servicing, use only original manufacturer's
replacement parts, accessories and attachments. Use
of any other parts may create a hazard or cause product
damage.
Avoid using solvents when cleaning plastic parts. Most
plastics are susceptible to various types of commercial
solvents and may be damaged by their use. Use clean
cloths to remove dirt, carbon dust, etc.
Do not at any time let brake fluids, gasoline, petroleum-
based products, penetrating oils, etc., come in contact
with plastic parts. Chemicals can damage, weaken or
destroy plastic which may result in serious personal
