Impact Driver Safety; Battery Charger Safety; Battery Safety - GMC GDD12 Instructions Originales

g) 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
Power Tool Use & 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
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) 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
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 tool's operation. If
damaged, have the power tool repaired before use. Many accidents are caused by
poorly maintained power tools
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
WARNING: When used in Australia or New Zealand, it is recommended that this tool is
ALWAYS supplied via Residual Current Device (RCD) with a rated residual current of 30mA
or less.
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

Impact Driver Safety

WARNING: It is imperative to follow all national safety regulations concerning installation,
operation and maintenance.
a) ALWAYS hold the tool by the insulated gripping surfaces. Operations where the tool,
fitted accessories or fasteners may contact hidden 'live' wiring will make exposed metal
parts of the tool 'live' and cause an electric shock hazard to the operator.
b) DO NOT allow anyone under the age of 18 years to use this tool, and ensure that
operators are qualified and familiar with the operating and safety instructions.
c) ALWAYS grip the tool firmly, DO NOT overreach, and ensure you won't lose control.
Keep secure footing whilst using an impact driver.
d) Battery chargers are for indoors use only. Ensure that the power supply and charger
are protected against moisture at all times.
e) When using the impact driver, use safety equipment including safety glasses or
shield,
ear defenders, and protective clothing including safety gloves. If the work produces
dust wear respiratory protection suitable for the work being undertaken. A minimum
rating of FFP2 is recommended. If operating the tool causes discomfort in any way, stop
immediately and review your method of use.
f) Ensure that the lighting is adequate.
g) Ensure that the impact driver bit or accessory is securely fixed in the bit holder.
Insecure accessories can be ejected from the machine causing a hazard.
h) DO NOT exert pressure on to the tool. To do so would shorten its service life.
i) If you are interrupted when operating an impact driver, complete the process and
switch off before looking up.
j) Where possible, use clamps or a vice to hold your work.
k) Examine the bit holder regularly for signs of wear or damage. Have damaged parts
repaired by a qualified service centre.
l) ALWAYS wait until the impact driver has come to a complete stop before putting
it down.
m) Periodically check all nuts, bolts and other fixings and tighten where necessary.
n) Only use bits and accessories, specifically designed for use with impact drivers.
Conventional bits and accessories may shear off during use, or be otherwise damaged,
potentially ejecting dangerous projectiles.
o) Ensure that fasteners are suitable for impact driver use. Nuts, bolts and screws that
are not suitable for high torque application may be damaged.

Battery Charger Safety

Use the battery charger correctly
• Refer to the section of this manual relating to use of the battery charger before attempting
to charge the battery.
• DO NOT attempt to use the charger with any batteries other than those supplied. Keep
your battery charger clean; foreign objects or dirt may cause a short or block air vents.
Failure to follow these instructions may cause overheating or fire
• If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, the service agent
or similarly qualified persons in order to avoid a hazard
WARNING: DO NOT attempt to recharge non-rechargeable batteries.

Battery Safety

WARNING: Li-Ion batteries, if incorrectly used, stored or charged are a fire, burn and
explosion hazard.
• Keep the battery out of reach of children
• ONLY charge Li-Ion batteries using the charger provided or designed specifically for
your product
• ONLY use Li-Ion batteries provided with a product or specifically designed to
be compatible
• Allow batteries to cool for 15 minutes after charging or heavy use. Failure to follow these
instructions may cause overheating or fire
• When not in use batteries should be stored at room temperature (approximately 20˚C)
• Ensure that battery contacts cannot accidentally short in storage. Keep batteries clean;
foreign objects or dirt may cause a short. Keep away from other metal objects, for
example paperclips, coins, keys, nails and screws
• Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from the battery. This liquid may cause
skin irritation or burns. Avoid contact. If contact accidentally occurs, flush with water. If
liquid contacts eyes,
seek medical help
