Transporting Lithium Batteries; Residual Risk - PrimAster PMALS 40 Gebrauchsanweisung, Originalbetriebsanleitung

The accumulator must be packaged (plastic bag,
box) or accumulator contacts must be sealed up for
accumulator disposal, transport or storage.
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.
Use power tools only with specifically designated
battery packs. Use of any other battery packs may
create a risk of injury and fire.
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.
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.
Vapours may leak out in case of unauthorised use or
when using a damaged accumulator. Bring fresh air
and seek medical advice if experiencing difficulties.

RESIDUAL RISK

Despite the observance of the operating instructions
there still may be some hidden residual risks.
DANGER
This power tool generates an electromagnetic field
during operation. Under certain circumstances, this
field may affect active or passive medical implants. To
reduce the risk of serious or fatal injury, we recommend
that individuals with medical implants consult your
physician and the manufacturer of the medical implant
before operating the machine.
CAUTION
Damage to health arising from vibrations to hand
and arms if the device is used for a long time or if the
device is not guided and evaluated properly.
Vibration damping systems are no guaranteed
protection against white finger disease or carpal tunnel
syndrome. Therefore, it is necessary to carefully check
the state of your fingers and wrist if you have regularly
used the appliance for a long time. If any symptom
of the diseases above appears, seek medical advice
immediately. To reduce the white finger disease risk,
keep your hands warm and take regular breaks during
your work.
Vapours may irritate the respiratory system.
