Additional Safety Information; Battery And Charger - Black & Decker BCRTA601 Mode D'emploi

metal parts of the power tool "live" and could give the
operator an electric shock.
Use clamps or another practical way to secure and
•
support the workpiece to a stable platform. Holding
the work by hand or against your body leaves it unstable
and may lead to loss of control.
When working on a ladder or on scaffolding be sure
•
to lay the tool down on its side when not in use. Some
tools with large batteries will stand upright but may be
easily knocked over.
Do not use a tool that is damaged or modified.
•
Damaged or modified battery may exhibit unpredictable
behavior resulting in fire, explosion or risk of injury.
Do not expose a tool to fire or excessive temperature.
•
Exposure to fire or temperature above 265 °F (130 °C) may
cause explosion.
Follow all charging instructions and do not charge
•
the 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.
Best performance can be obtained when the air
•
temperature is between 65 °F and 75 °F (18 °C – 24 °C).
DO NOT operate the tool below +40 °F (+4.5 °C), or above
+104 °F (+40 °C).

Additional Safety Information


WARNING: Never modify the power tool or any part
of it. Damage or personal injury could result.

WARNING: ALWAYS use safety glasses. Everyday
eyeglasses are NOT safety glasses. Also use face or
dust mask if cutting operation is dusty. ALWAYS WEAR
CERTIFIED SAFETY EQUIPMENT:
• ANSI Z87.1 eye protection (CAN/CSA Z94.3),
• ANSI S12.6 (S3.19) hearing protection,
• NIOSH/OSHA/MSHA respiratory protection.

WARNING: Some dust created by power sanding,
sawing, grinding, drilling, and other construction
activities contains chemicals known to the State
of California to cause cancer, birth defects or
other reproductive harm. Some examples of these
chemicals are:
• lead from lead-based paints,
• crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other
masonry products, and
• arsenic and chromium from chemically-
treated lumber.
Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on
how often you do this type of work. To reduce your
exposure to these chemicals: work in a well ventilated
area, and work with approved safety equipment, such
as those dust masks that are specially designed to
filter out microscopic particles.
Wear protective clothing and wash exposed areas
•
with soap and water. Allowing dust to get into your
mouth, eyes, or lay on the skin may promote absorption
of harmful chemicals. Direct particles away from face
and body.
Use the appropriate dust extractor vacuum to
•
remove the vast majority of static and airborne
dust. Failure to remove static and airborne dust could
contaminate the working environment or pose an
increased health risk to the operator and those in
close proximity.
Use clamps or other practical ways to secure and
•
support the workpiece to a stable platform. Holding
the work by hand or against your body is unstable and
may lead to loss of control and injury.
Air vents often cover moving parts and should be
•
avoided. Loose clothes, jewelry or long hair can be caught
in moving parts.

CAUTION: When not in use, place tool on its
side on a stable surface where it will not cause
a tripping or falling hazard. Some tools with large
battery packs will stand upright on the battery pack
but may be easily knocked over.
