GENERAL BATTERY-OPERATED POWER TOOL
SAFETY WARNINGS
==WARNING:
Read all safety warnings, instructions, illustrations and
specifications provided with this power tool.
Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in electric
shock, fire and/or serious injury.
Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.
The term “power tool” in all of the warnings refers to your mains-operated
(corded) power tool or battery-operated (cordless) power tool.
1. Work area safety
(a) Keep work area clean and well lit.
Cluttered and dark areas invite accidents.
(b) Do not operate power tools in explosive
atmospheres, such as in the presence of
flammable liquids, gases or dust.
Power tools create sparks which may ignite
the dust or fumes.
(c) Keep children and bystanders away
while operating a power tool.
Distractions can cause you to lose control.
2. Electrical safety
(a) Do not expose power tools to rain or wet
conditions.
Water entering a power tool will increase
the risk of electric shock.
3. Personal safety
(a) Stay alert, watch what you are doing and
use common sense when operating a
power tool. Do not use a power tool while
you are tired or under the influence of drugs,
alcohol or medication.
A moment of inattention while operating
power tools may result in serious personal
injury.
(b)
Always use personal protective equipment.
Personal protective equipment such as eye
protection, dust mask, non-skid safety
shoes, hard hat and/or hearing protection
used for appropriate conditions will reduce
personal injuries.
(c) Prevent unintentional starting.
Ensure the switch is in the off-position
before connecting to power source and/or
battery pack, picking up or carrying the tool.
Carrying power tools with your finger on the
switch or energizing power tools that have
the switch on invites accidents.
(d) Remove any adjusting key or wrench
before turning the power tool on. A wrench
or a key left attached to a rotating part of the
power tool may result in personal injury.
(e) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing
and balance at all times. This enables better
control of the power tool in unexpected
situations.
(f) Dress properly. Do not wear loose
clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair,
clothing and gloves away from moving
parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair
can be caught in moving parts.
(g) If devices are provided for the connec-
tion of dust extraction and collection
facilities, ensure these are connected and
properly used. Use of dust collection can
reduce dust-related hazards.
(h) Do not let familiarity gained from frequent
use of tools allow you to become complacent
and ignore tool safety principles.
A careless action can cause severe injury
within a fraction of a second.
4. Power tool use and care
(a) Do not force the power tool. Use the
correct power tool for your application.
The correct power tool will do the job better
and safer at the rate for which it was designed.
BW 18.0-EC Instruction manual

(b) Do not use the power tool if the switch
does not turn it on and off. Any power tool
that cannot be controlled with the switch is
dangerous and must be repaired.
(c) Remove the battery pack, if detachable,
from the power tool and/or activate any
battery disabling device before clearing
jammed material, making any adjustments,
changing accessories, cleaning, or storing
power tools. Such preventive safety
measures reduce the risk of starting the
power tool accidentally.
(d) Store idle power tools out of the reach of
children and do not allow persons unfamiliar
with the power tool or these instructions to
operate the power tool. Power tools are
dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
(e) Maintain power tools. Check for
misalignment or binding of moving parts,
breakage of parts and any other condition
that may affect the power tools operation.
If damaged, have the power tool repaired
before use. Many accidents are caused by
poorly maintained power tools and
accessories.
(f) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean.
Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp
cutting edges are less likely to bind and are
easier to control.
(g) Use the power tool, accessories and tool
bits etc. in accordance with these
instructions, taking into account the working
conditions and the work to be performed.
Use of the power tool for operations
different from those intended could result in
a hazardous situation.
(h) Keep handles and grasping surfaces
dry, clean and free from oil and grease.
Slippery handles and grasping surfaces
may lead to unsafe handling and/or loss
of control of the tool.
(i) Keep cables away from the working area
of the tool. During operation cables may be
hidden from view and can be accidentally
damaged by the tool.
5. Battery tool use and care
(a) 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.
(b) Use power tools only with specifically
designated battery packs. Use of any other
battery packs may create a risk of injury and
fire.
(c) 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.
(d) 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.
(e) 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.
(f) Do not expose a battery pack or tool to
fire or excessive temperature.
Exposure to fire or temperature above
265 °F may cause explosion.
(g) 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.
6. Service
(a) 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.
(b) Never service damaged battery packs.
Service of battery packs should only be
performed by the manufacturer or authorized
service providers. Do not modify or attempt to
repair the appliance or the battery pack
(as applicable) except as indicated in the
instructions for use and care.
