■ Only use batteries in the power tools that
are intended for this purpose. Using other
batteries can lead to injuries and represents
the risk of fire.
■ Keep the unused rechargeable battery
away from paper clips, coins, keys, nails,
screws or other small metal objects that
could short-circuit the contacts. A short
circuit between the rechargeable battery
contacts can result in burns or fire.
■ Incorrect use can result in fluid leaking
out of the rechargeable battery. Avoid
coming into contact with it. In case of
inadvertent contact, rinse off with water. If
the fluid gets into your eyes, additionally
seek medical assistance. Leaking
rechargeable battery fluid can lead to skin
irritations or burns.
■ Do not use a damaged or changed
rechargeable battery. Damaged or changed
batteries can behave unpredictably and lead
to fire, explosion or a risk of injury.
■ Do not expose a rechargeable battery to
fire or high temperatures. Fire or
temperatures over 130 °C can cause an
explosion.
■ Comply with all of the instructions for
charging, and never charge the
rechargeable battery or the rechargeable
battery-operated tool outside of the
temperature range specified in the
operating instructions. Incorrect charging
or charging outside of the permissible
temperature range can destroy the
rechargeable battery and increase the risk of
fire.

3.2.4 Noise pollution
A certain level of noise exposure from this
appliance is inevitable. Carry out noisy work at
approved and specified time periods. Observe
rest periods as necessary and restrict the
duration of the work to a minimum. For your
personal protection and protection of persons in
the vicinity, appropriate hearing protection must
be worn.
3.2.5 Vibration load
WARNING!
Danger due to vibration
The actual magnitude of the vibration
emissions during the use of the
appliance may deviate from that
stated by the manufacturer. Observe
the following influencing factors
before or during use:
■ Istheappliancebeingusedas
intended?
■ Isthematerialbeingcutor
processed in the proper manner?
■ Istheapplianceinaproper
condition of use?
■ Isthecuttingtoolproperly
sharpened or is the correct cutting
tool installed?
■ Arethehandlegripsandany
optional vibration grips mounted,
and are they firmly attached to the
appliance?
■ Onlyoperatethetoolatthemotorspeed
required for the respective work. Avoid using
the maximum speed in order to reduce noise
and vibrations
■ Thenoiseandvibrationsofthetoolmay
increase due to improper use and
maintenance. This leads to health damage.
In this case, immediately switch off the tool
and have it repaired by an authorised service
workshop.
■ Thedegreeofstressduetovibration
depends on the work to be performed or on
the use of the tool. Estimate the stress and
plan appropriate work breaks. This
considerably reduces stress due to vibration
over the entire working time.
■ Extensiveuseofthetoolexposesthe
operator to vibrations, which can lead to
circulatory issues (“white fingers”). To avoid
this risk, wear gloves and keep your hands
warm. If any symptoms of “white fingers”
occur, immediately consult a physician.
These symptoms include: Numbness, loss of
feeling, tingling, itching, pain, reduced
muscular strength, changes in the colour or
condition of the skin. Normally these
conditions affect the fingers, hands or pulse.
The risk increases at low temperatures.
■ Takelongbreaksduringyourworkingdayso
you can recover from the noise and the
vibrations. Plan your work in such a way that
the use of appliances that generate strong
vibrations is spread over several days.
■ Ifyounoticeanunpleasantsensationor
discolouration of the skin on your hands
when using the tool, stop work immediately.
Take sufficient work breaks. Without
sufficient breaks, a hand/arm vibration
syndrome can occur.
■ Minimiseyourriskofbeingexposedto
vibrations. Maintain the tool according to the
instructions in the operating instructions.
■ Ifthetoolisusedfrequently,contactyour
dealer to purchase anti-vibration accessories
(e.g. handles).
■ Avoidworkingwiththetoolattemperatures
below 10 °C. Define how the vibration load
can be limited in a work plan.
