GB
Loss of control may cause personal injuries of the operator. Use of anti-dust mask reduces the risk of serious body injuries.
While working, whenever the inserted tool may come into contact with hidden live wire, hold the power tool using insulated han-
dles. Inserted accessory when coming into contact with a live wire may cause metal components of the tool to become energized,
which could result in electric shock to the operator of a tool.

PRODUCT HANDLING

Product preparation to work
Note! All actions mentioned in this chapter should be carried out with supply voltage off - the battery must be disconnected from
the tool!
Safety recommendations for battery loading
Attention! Before loading may start make sure the body of the charger, the cable and the plug are not broken or damaged. It
is prohibited to use a damaged loading dock and charger! For the purpose of loading batteries only the charging dock and the
charger provided may be used. Using another charger may be a cause of fire or damage the tool. Batteries may be charged only
in a dry room, protected from unauthorised persons, particularly children. Do not use the charging dock and the charger without
permanent supervision of an adult! If it is necessary to leave the room where loading is taking place, it is required to disconnect the
charger from the mains, removing the charger from the mains socket. In case when smoke comes out of the charger, or a strange
smell is emitted, etc., it is required to immediately remove the plug of the charger from the mains socket!
The drill and automatic return screwdriver is provided with an unloaded battery, so before work may commence, it is required
to charge it following the procedure below, using the charger and charging dock provided. Li-ION batteries do not show the so
called "memory effect", so it is allowed to charge them at any moment. However, it is recommended to discharge them during
normal work, and then load them to their full capacity. If due to the nature of the task it is not possible to do so each time, then it
is required to do it at least from time to time. Under no circumstances is it allowed to discharge the batteries short-circuiting the
electrodes, since this would cause irreversible damage! It is also prohibited to check the load of the batteries, short-circuiting the
electrodes for sparking.
Storage of the battery
In order to prolong the life of the battery, it is required to provide adequate storage conditions. The batteries can go through ap-
proximately 500 „loading - discharging" cycles. The battery must be stored between 0 and 30°C, at the relative humidity of 50%. In
order to store the battery for a prolonged period, it is required to charge it to approximately 70% of its capacity. In case of prolonged
storage, it is required to recharge the battery once a year. Do not permit excessive discharging of the battery, since this would
reduce its life and may cause irreversible damage.
During storage, the battery will be gradually unloading due to leakage conductance. The process of automatic unloading depends
on the temperature of storage, since the higher the temperature, the fastest the process. In case of incorrect storage of batteries,
there is a danger of electrolyte leakage. In case of leakage, it is required protect the leakage with neutralizing agent. In case of
contact of electrolyte with the eyes, it is required to rinse the eyes abundantly, and then immediately seek medical assistance. It
is prohibited to use a tool with a damaged battery.
In case the battery is completely worn out, it is required to deposit it at a special point dedicated to disposal of such waste.
Transport of the batteries
Lithium-ion batteries are in accordance with legal regulations treated as dangerous waste. The user of the tool may transport the
tool with the battery or only batteries by land. Then no additional conditions must be complied with. In transport is realised by third
parties (for example dispatch through courier service), then it is required to proceed in accordance with regulations for transport
of dangerous materials. Before shipment, contact an authorised person.
It is prohibited to transport damaged batteries. During transport the battery must be removed from the tool, and the exposed
contacts protected, e.g. with insulating tape. Protect the batteries so that they do not move inside the package during transport. It
is also required comply with the national regulations for transport of dangerous materials.
Battery charging (II)
Note! Prior to charging the battery, charger should be unplugged from mains. Also clean the battery and its terminals of dirt and
dust using soft and dry cloth.
Disconnect the battery from the tool, for this purpose press both battery latches at the same time and slide it out from housing.
The plug of charger cable should be connected to a slot in the base of battery, and then the charger should be connected to a
mains slot.
A diode next to a slot in the base of battery will light up. Red colour indicates charging, and green colour - end of charging. It is
recommended to finish charging process as soon the green diode lights up. To this end first disconnect the charger from a mains
socket and then disconnect the charger cable plug from the battery slot.
Note! It is forbidden to charge the battery connected to a tool. In this configuration the tool is devoid of possibility to operate.
