3. Prevent electrical shock.
Keep the power cord away from heat, oil and
sharp edges. Avoid skin contact with exposed
parts of the power cord or plug.
4. Keep children away.
Never allow children or spectators to touch the
tools, keep them at a safe distance from the
work area.
5. Store tools in a safe place.
Tools that are not used must be stored in a dry

6. Do not force the tool.
The machine will do the job better and safer
at the rate for which it was intended. Damage
caused by forcing the tool is not covered by
the warranty.
7. Use the right type of tool.
Do not use low-powered tools for heavy-duty
operations. Never use the machine other than
for its intended purpose.
8. Cable.
Never carry the tool by its cable and do not tug
at the cable to pull the plug from the socket.
Keep the cable away from heat, oil and sharp
edges.
9. Maintain the tool with care.
• The tool works best and safest if it is kept
clean.
• Observe the instructions for maintenance
and changing accessories. Keep the tool
dry and free from oil and grease.
10. Disconnect the machine.
Disconnect the machine when you do not
use it, before cleaning and when changing

Do not use the machine when it cannot be
switched on or off.
Special safety instructions
In the design of the battery charger the
requirements for safe usage have been taken
into account. Any change, adaptation, conversion
or other use may interfere with the safety of the
apparatus. In addition, the guarantee will no longer
be valid because of this.
• Check the following things:
• Does the voltage of the battery charger
correspond to the mains voltage. Battery
chargers with the indication of 230 Volt
can also be used when there is a mains
voltage of 220 Volt.
• Are the mains lead and the mains plug in
good condition.
• Avoid the use of long extension cables for the
battery charger.
• Do not try to open the housing of the battery,
because dangerous substances may be
released.
• Do not use the battery charger where there is
moisture.
• D o not expose the battery (and the charger) to
vivid sunlight and high temperatures.
• During charging the battery acid may start to
boil, which is not unusual. Beware of
splashing, however, for battery acid is caustic.
The battery charger therefore needs to be
switched off in order to prevent accidents and
to allow the battery to cool down.
• During charging so-called detonating gas can
be liberated. That is why the filler caps are
unscrewed before charging(does not apply to
closed batterys, this means Battery chargers
without filler caps). Charging has to take place
in a thoroughly ventilated space.
• The battery charger does not stop
automatically after charging. For this reason it
needs to be switched off and disconnected
from the battery. Do not leave the battery
charger connected to the mains voltage after
the battery has been charged completely.
The apparatus needs to be switched off
completely in the case of:
• Malfunctioning or damage to the mains plug or
mains cable.
• Smoke or stench from scorched insulation.
