f) Check that the accumulator is in good condition
and there are no signs of damage. Do not use the
device with a damaged or worn accumulator.
1.4. MAINTENANCE, STORAGE AND
TRANSPORT
Ensure regular maintenance and correct storage to maintain
machine safety and high performance levels.
• Never use the machine with worn or damaged parts.
Faulty or worn-out parts must always be replaced and
never repaired. Only use original spare parts.
• When the machine is stopped for servicing, inspection,
or storage, or to change an accessory, shut off the
power source, disconnect the machine from the supply
and make sure that all moving parts are come to a
complete stop.
• To reduce fire risks, do not leave containers with debris
inside a room
The noise and vibration levels shown in these
instructions are the maximum levels for use of
the machine. The use of an unbalanced cutting
element, the excessive speed of movement, or
the absence of maintenance have a significant
influence on noise emissions and vibrations.
Consequently, it is necessary to take preventive
steps to eliminate possible damage due to
high levels of noise and stress from vibration.
Maintain the machine well, wear ear protection
devices, and take breaks while working.
1.5. BATTERY / BATTERY CHARGER
The following safety instructions are
IMPORTANT
an addition to the safety requirements provided in the
spe-cific battery and battery charger manual delivered
with this machine.
• Only use battery chargers recommended by the man-
ufacturer to recharge batteries. An inadequate battery
charger may cause electric shock, overheating or
corrosive liquid to leak from the battery.
• Use only batteries specifically designed for your power
tool. The use of other batteries may cause inju-ries
and fire risks.
• •
Make sure that the machine is switched off before
inserting the battery. Inserting a battery in a machine
which is switched on can cause a fire.
• Keep all unused batteries at a distance from paper,
clips, coins, keys, nails, screws or other small metal
objects as contact with the same can cause short cir-
cuits. Short circuits between battery contacts can lead
to explosion or fires.
• Never use the battery charger in environments in the
presence of vapours, flammable substances or on
easily flammable surfaces such as paper, fabric, etc.
The battery charger heats up during recharging and
may cause a fire.
• When transporting accumulators, make sure the con-
tacts never come into contact with each other and
never use metal containers to transport them.
1.6. ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION
• Scrupulously comply with local regulations for the
disposal of packaging, deteriorated parts or any ele-
ments with a strong environmental impact; this waste
must not be disposed of as normal waste, it must be
separated and taken to specified waste disposal cen-
tres where the material will be recycled.
• Scrupulously comply with local regulations for the
disposal of waste materials
• When the machine is withdrawn from service, do not
dispose of it in the environment, but take it to a waste
disposal facility in accordance with the local regula-tions
in force.
Do not throw electrical equipment away
with domestic waste. In observance of
European Directive 2012/19/EU on electrical
and electronic equipment waste and its
implementation, in observance of UK
Regulation "The waste electrical and electronic
equipment regulations 2013 (as amended)"
and in accordance with national regulations,
old electrical equipment must be collected
separately, for eco-compatible recycling. If
electrical equipment is disposed of in dumps
or in landfills, hazardous substances can leak
into the groundwater and contaminate the food
chain, damaging your health and well-being.
For further information on the disposal of this
product, contact your dealer or a domestic
waste collection service.
At the end of their working life, dispose
of batteries paying due attention to the
environment. Batteries contain material
classified as hazardous for you and the
environment. They must be removed and
disposed of separately at a facility that accepts
lithium-ion batteries.
Separate waste collection of the products
and packaging used allows the materials to
be recycled and reused. Reuse of recycled
materials help to prevent environmental
pollution and reduces the demand for raw
materials.
