Battery tool use and care
▶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.
▶Do not use a battery pack or tool that is damaged or modified. Damaged or modified batteries may
exhibit unpredictable behaviour resulting in fire, explosion or risk of injury.
▶Do not expose a battery pack or tool to fire or excessive temperature. Exposure to fire or temperature
above 130° C (265 °F) may cause explosion.
▶Follow all charging instructions and do not charge the battery pack or tool outside the temperature
range specified in the instructions. Charging improperly or at temperatures outside the specified range
may damage the battery and increase the risk of fire.
Service
▶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.
▶Never service damaged battery packs. Service of battery packs should only be performed by the
manufacturer or authorized service providers.
2.2 Additional safety instructions for pressing tools
Personal safety
▶Use the product and accessories only when they are in perfect working order.
▶Never tamper with or modify the product or accessories in any way.
▶Before use of the pressing tool, all live cables and other equipment carrying electric voltage within the
area in which the user is working are to be switched off. If this is not possible, the corresponding safety
precautions for working in the proximity of live cables or equipment must be implemented and observed.
▶Keep the air vents clear at all times. Risk of burn injuries due to blocked air vents!
▶Wear eye protection, a hard hat and ear protection while the product is in use.
▶Dust produced by grinding, sanding, cutting and drilling can contain dangerous chemicals. Some
examples are: lead or lead-based paints; brick, concrete and other masonry products, natural stone
and other products containing silicates; certain types of wood, such as oak, beech and chemically
treated wood; asbestos or materials that contain asbestos. Determine the exposure of the operator and
bystanders by means of the hazard classification of the materials to be worked. Implement the necessary
measures to restrict exposure to a safe level, for example by the use of a dust collection system or by
the wearing of suitable respiratory protection. The general measures for reducing exposure include:
▶working in an area that is well ventilated,
▶avoidance of prolonged contact with dust,
▶directing dust away from the face and body,
▶wearing protective clothing and washing exposed areas of the skin with water and soap.
▶Take frequent breaks and do physical exercises to improve the blood circulation in your fingers. High
vibration during long periods of work can lead to disorders of the blood vessels and nervous system in
the fingers, hands and wrists.
▶Do not look directly into the light source (LED) of the product and do not aim the beam at other persons’
faces. Risk of dazzling or eye damage.
▶Never carry out crimping work on parts of a gas supply network unless express approval has been given
by the system supplier for use of this tool in conjunction with specially tested and approved fittings.
▶Check that the locking pin is pushed in all the way and securely engaged.
▶To avoid pinning or trapping the fingers, after inserting the crimping jaws/adapter jaws position the
tubular guard so that the gap between crimping jaws/adapter jaws and holder (crimping head) is as small
as possible.
▶Make sure that there are no foreign objects (e.g. plaster, grit particles, metal cuttings, etc.) in the crimping
jaws and no parts are damaged. Do not continue to use damaged or distorted crimping jaws!
▶Always use the grip for carrying the device and always make sure your hands are dry. If your fingers/hands
are oily or greasy you might lose your grip on the device and drop it.
