Electrical Safety; Personal Safety - Rehau EVERLOC+ Manuel D'instruction

- 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.
- Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool.
Distractions can cause you to lose control.

ELECTRICAL SAFETY

- Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any
way. Do not use any adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power
tools. Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will reduce the risk of electric
shock.
- Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces such as pipes,
radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric
shock if your body is earthed or grounded.
- Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a
power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
- Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or
unplugging the power tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp
edges or moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of
electric shock.
- When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord suitable
for outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of
electric shock.
- If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a
RESIDUAL CURRENT DEVICE (RCD) protected supply. Use of an RCD
reduces the risk of electric shock.

PERSONAL SAFETY

- 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.
- Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection.
Protective equipment such as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat,
or hearing protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal
injuries.
- 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.
- 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.
- Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This
enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations.
- Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Keep your hair,
clothing and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry or
long hair can be caught in moving parts.
- If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and
collection facilities, ensure these are connected and properly used.
Use of dust collection can reduce dust-related hazards.
- 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.
POWER TOOL USE AND CARE
- 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.
- 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.
- Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or the battery pack
from the power tool before making any adjustments, changing
accessories, or storing power tools. Such preventive safety measures
reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.
- 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.
- Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or binding of moving
parts, breakage of parts and any other condition that may affect the
power tool's operation. If damaged, have the power tool repaired before
use. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained power tools.
- Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools
with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
- 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.
- Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry, clean and free from oil and
grease. Slippery handles and grasping surfaces do not allow for safe
handling and control of the tool in unexpected situations.
BATTERY TOOL USE AND CARE
- 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.
- Use power tools only with specifically designated battery packs. Use
of any other battery packs may create a risk of injury and fire.
- 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.
- 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.
- Do not use a battery pack or tool that is damaged or modified.
Damaged or modified batteries may exhibit unpredictable behavior,
resulting in fire, explosion or increased risk of injury.
- Do not expose the battery pack or tool to fire or excessive tempera-
ture. Exposure to fire or temperature above 265°F (130°C) may cause
explosion.
- 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.
SERVICE
- Have your power tools serviced by a qualified repair person using
only identical replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the
power tool is maintained.
- Never service damaged battery packs. Service of battery packs should
only be performed by the manufacturer or authorized service providers.
ADDITIONAL WARNINGS FOR EVERLOC+ POWER TOOL
WARNING
- Risk of electric shock. Never operate the power tool in damp or wet
conditions – never expose to rain or submerge in water or other liquids.
Never operate the power tool near wires or cables carrying electric current.
- Always wear close-fitting protective eyewear that is impact-rated with
side protection to reduce the risk of permanent eye injury.
- Always check your power tool and its attachments for proper condi-
tion before starting work. Using a power tool that is modified, damaged,
improperly adjusted or maintained, or not completely and securely
assembled can increase the risk of severe personal injury or a faulty joint
and property damage.
- The power tool is designed for one-handed operation. Wrap your
fingers tightly around the control handle as shown in this manual and
keep a secure grasp on the tool during work. Loss of control can lead to
injuries.
- Use only your index finger to trigger the tool. Using other fingers to
trigger the tool may cause you to lose control of the power tool or increase
the risk of personal injury, including pinch injuries.
- Moving parts can crush and cut. Keep hands and fingers clear of the
compression jaws, hydraulic slide and expander head while operating.
Always keep hands and fingers away from the hydraulic slide and compres-
sion jaws to avoid trapping your fingers in moving parts. The hydraulic slide
and compression jaws are potential pinch points.
- Keep hands and other parts of your body away from the expander
head, hydraulic slide and compression jaws during operation to
reduce the risk of injury. Avoid wearing bulky gloves that may become
caught in the compression jaws or make handling the tool awkward or
difficult.
