g. Fluid can escape from the battery when used
incorrectly. Avoid all contact with this. In the event of
accidental contact, rinse with water. If liquid should
get into the eyes, get medical assistance. Battery fluid
may result in skin irritations and burns.
h. Do not open the battery. There is a risk of short-
circuiting.
i. Protect the battery from heat, for example, from
constant sun and fire. There is a risk of explosion.
j. Never short circuit the battery. There is a risk of
explosion.
k. In the event of damage and incorrect use, vapours
may come out of the battery. Ensure your work space
is well ventilated with fresh air and, if you have any
symptoms, consult a doctor. These vapours may irritate
the respiratory system.
Safety rules for cordless drill/driver
a) Hold tool by insulated gripping surfaces when performing
an operation where the drill/driver bits may contact
hidden wiring or its own cord. Contact with a “live” wire
will make exposed metal parts of the tool “live” and shock
the operator.
b) Always wear safety goggles or eye protection when using
this tool. Use a dust mask or respirator for applications
which generate dust.
c) Secure the material being drill/drivered. Never hold it in
your hand or across legs. Unstable support can cause
the drill/driver bit to bind causing loss of control and injury.
d) Position yourself to avoid being caught between the tool
or side handle and walls or posts. Should the bit become
bound or jammed in the work, the reaction torque of the
tool could crush your hand or leg.
e) If the bit becomes bound in the workpiece, release the
trigger immediately, reverse the direction of rotation and
slowly squeeze the trigger to back out the bit. Be ready
for a strong reaction torque. The drill/driver body will tend
to twist in the opposite direction as the drill/driver bit is
rotating.
f) Do not grasp the tool or place your hands too close to
the spinning chuck or drill/driver bit. Your hand may be
lacerated.
g) When installing a drill/driver bit, insert the shank of the bit
well within the jaws of the chuck. If the bit is not inserted
deep enough, the grip of the jaws over the bit is reduced
and the loss of control is increased.
h) Do not use dull or damaged bits and accessories. Dull
or damaged bits have a greater tendency to bind in the
workpiece.
i) When removing the bit from the tool avoid contact with
skin and use proper protective gloves when grasping the
bit or accessory. Accessories may be hot after prolonged
use. Check to see that keys and adjusting wrenches are
removed from the drill/driver before switching the tool on.
Keys or wrenches can fly away at high velocity striking
you or
a bystander.
j) Do not run the drill/driver while carrying it at your side.
A spinning drill/driver bit could become entangled with
clothing and injury may result.
WARNING! Some dust created by power sanding, sawing,
grinding, drill/drivering, and other construction activities
contains chemicals known to cause cancer, birth defects
or other reproductive harm. Some examples of these
chemicals are:
a) Lead from lead-based paints,
b) Crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other
masonry products, and
c) Arsenic and chromium from chemically treated lumber.
Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how
often you do this type of work. To reduce your exposure to
these chemicals: work in a well ventilated area, and work
with approved safety equipment, such as those dust masks
that are specially designed to filter out microscopic particles.
