Before the use, for at least one minute let brushes reach the operating speed. Then, no one can stand in front of or in line
of the brush. Loose splinters of wires or wires will be thrown out of the brush during this operation.
Direct the material from the spinning brush away from you. While working, small splinters and small pieces of wire can be
thrown out at high speed and stick into the skin.
BATTERY MAINTENANCE
Safety instructions for battery charging
Caution! Before starting charging, make sure that the power unit body, cable and plug are not cracked or damaged. It is forbidden
to use a defective or damaged charging station and power unit! Use only the supplied charging station and power unit to charge
the batteries. The use of another power unit may result in fi re or damage to the tool. The battery should only be charged in a
closed, dry room, protected against unauthorised access, especially by children. Do not use the charging station and power unit
without the constant supervision of an adult! If you need to leave the room where the product is being charged, disconnect the
charger from the mains by removing the power unit's plug from the mains socket. If smoke, suspicious odours, etc. are escaping
from the charger, remove the charger plug from the mains socket immediately!
The tool is supplied with an uncharged battery and should therefore be charged according to the procedure described below with
the included power unit and charging station before use. Li-ion (lithium-ion) batteries do not have the so-called "memory eff ect",
which means they can be recharged at any time. However, it is recommended to discharge the battery during normal operation
and then charge it to full capacity. If, due to the nature of work, it is not possible to use the battery in such a manner every time,
it should be done at least every several work cycles. Never discharge any batteries by short-circuiting the battery plates, as this
will cause irreparable damage! In addition, do not check the battery charge status by short-circuiting the electrodes and checking
their sparking.
Storing the battery
Ensure the proper storage conditions to extend the battery's life. The battery can withstand approximately 500 charge-discharge
cycles. Store the battery at a temperature ranging from 0ºC to 30ºC at a relative air humidity of 50%. Charge the battery to approx.
70% of its total capacity to store it for a longer period of time. In case of prolonged storage, the battery should be periodically
charged once a year. Do not over-discharge the battery as this will shorten its life and may cause irreparable damage. During
storage, the battery will gradually discharge due to leakage. The self-discharge process depends on the storage temperature –
the higher the temperature is, the faster the discharge process is. If the batteries are stored incorrectly, the electrolyte may leak.
In case of leakage, secure the leak with a neutralising agent. In the case of electrolyte contact with eyes, rinse eyes thoroughly
with water, and immediately seek medical attention. It is not allowed to use the tool with a damaged battery. If the battery is
completely worn, return it to a specialist waste disposal centre.
Transporting the batteries
Lithium-ion batteries are treated as hazardous goods according to legal regulations. The user of the tool can transport the product
together with the battery and the batteries alone by land. In that case, no additional conditions have to be met. If you entrust
transport to third parties (e.g. a courier company), follow the regulations regarding the transport of hazardous goods. Before
shipping, please contact a properly qualifi ed person.
It is not allowed to transport damaged batteries. For the duration of transport, remove the demountable batteries from the product
and secure the exposed contacts, e.g. by covering them with insulation tape. Protect the batteries in the packaging in such a way
that they do not move inside the packaging during transport. National regulations for the transport of hazardous materials must
also be observed.
Rechargeable battery
Only one of the following YATO Li-Ion 18 V batteries can be used to power the tool: YT-82842, YT-82843, YT-82844, YT-82845,
which can only be charged with YATO YT-82848 or YT-82849 chargers. It is forbidden to use other batteries with a diff erent rated
voltage and not matching the device battery socket. It is forbidden to modify the socket or battery to make them match.
Slide the battery into the socket with the contacts facing inside the tool until the battery latch engages. Make sure that the battery
will not slide out on its own during operation. Disconnect the battery by pressing and holding the latch and then pulling the battery
out of the tool housing.
Charging the battery
Caution! Before charging, disconnect the charging station power unit from the mains by removing the plug from the mains socket.
In addition, clean the battery and battery clamps of dirt and dust with a soft, dry cloth.
The battery has a built-in charge indicator. The LEDs will light up by pressing the button (II), the more of them come on, the more
charged the battery is. If the LEDs do not light up when the button is pressed, the battery is discharged.
Disconnect the battery from the tool.
Slide the battery into the charger socket (V).
Plug the charger into a mains socket.
The red LED will light up, which indicates the charging process.
When charging is complete, the red LED will turn off and the green LED will light up to indicate that the battery is fully charged.
