Starting And Stopping - Valex MTrNiCd Instrucciones Para El Uso E Instrucciones De Seguridad

Grip the tool by its handle and after use put it down upright
without banging using the base of the battery.
STARTING UP
When choosing where to use the electrical tool, the following
should be considered:
- that the place is not damp and is protected from the elements.
- that there should be a large operational area free from ob-
stacles.
- that there is good lighting.
- that it needs to be used close to the general differential switch
(for the battery charger).
- that the power supply system is earthed and conforms to the
standards (only if the electrical tool is class 1, which is equipped
with a plug with earth cable).
- that the room temperature should be between 10° and 35° C.
- that the environment is not in a flammable/explosive atmo-
sphere.
Take out the machine and components and visually check that
they are perfectly intact; then proceed to thoroughly clean them
in order to remove any protective oils used for transport.
SIDE HANDLE ASSEMBLY (if fitted)
Screw the side handle (pos.10) tightly to the drill body.
BATTERY CHARGING (fig.E)
! IMPORTANT! Before using the drill it is necessary to fully
charge the battery.
! IMPORTANT! Recharge only with the battery charger indi-
cated by the manufacturer. An inappropriate battery charger
can cause a fire hazard when used with other battery units.
Tool with non-extractable battery
Before use, fully charge the batteries by inserting the battery
charger plug in the appliance socket before connecting the
charger to the power supply. See the attached sheet for battery
charge times.
According to the purchased model, appliance connection to the
power supply may be indicated by a pilot light.
Do not use the appliance while charging.
When fully charged, disconnect the battery charger from the
power supply and then from the appliance.
Tool with extractable battery
Take the battery out of the tool housing using the locking devices
(pos.4) and push it in fully to the battery charger compartment
making sure polarity is respected. The compartment may have
an asymmetrical shape in order to prevent the battery being
inserted the wrong way round.
The battery charger may also be provided with a separate
power supply; if so, make the reciprocal connection using the
cable supplied.
Plug in the battery charger to the mains and, if fitted, press the
start charging button (pos.13). The charging light (pos.11), if
fitted, comes on when the battery starts being charged. The
charging time for a completely empty battery is indicated in the
technical data attached to these instructions.
According to the type of battery charger in your possession,
the charging light stays on permanently, or the end of charging
may be indicated by the relevant light (pos.12) coming on or a
different coloured light.
It is also possible that the battery charger is equipped with a
safety device that switches it off when it is fully charged.
After charging unplug the battery charger, take out the battery
and insert it in the drill housing until you hear it click into place.
In order to keep the battery efficient do not partially charge
- 14 -
or partially empty the battery. Empty the battery completely
and then fully charge it.
Fully charging the battery:
- When the battery is low, even when not in use.
- After a long period of disuse.
- At least every 4 months, even in cases of disuse.
- If while working you notice a clear drop in the performance
of the tool.
Always remember that after a certain amount of time the bat-
tery needs replacing. The factors that influence its lifetime are:
number of charge/empty cycles, stress from heavy use, time
since it was manufactured, lack of maintenance, lack of charge.
CUTTING TOOL ASSEMBLY (fig.C)
! IMPORTANT! During the assembly and disassembly of the
bits and inserts, place the rotation direction switch in the
central position (pos.2) to prevent activation of the switch
and therefore accidental start-up.
According to the type of chuck supplied, observe the following
instructions and fig.C:
Self-locking chuck with double ring nut without lock (if fitted)
Turn the ring nut pos.1 to open and close the jaws pos.3,
holding back the ring nut pos.2.
In some chuck models you will hear a click which shows it
has been fully tightened.
Self-locking chuck with double ring nut with anti-unscrewing
lock (if fitted)
IMPORTANT! To attach the tool to the chuck, make sure the
ring nut is unlocked.
1) Unlock the chuck by moving the ring nut pos.2 away from
the ring nut pos.1
2) Turn the ring nut pos.1 to open and close the jaws pos.3,
holding back the ring nut pos.2.
3) Fix the bit, push the ring nut pos.2 towards the ring nut pos.1
until you hear the click. This operation prevents the chuck
opening due to vibration produced by percussion.
Self-locking chuck with single ring nut (if fitted)
The self-locking chuck offers increased convenience and
speed when changing the accessory tool.
Turn the ring nut to open and close the jaws as indicated
in the figure.
Check that the bit or insert is properly centred and firmly held by
the jaws of the chuck.

STARTING AND STOPPING

! IMPORTANT! Before starting the electrical tool it is com-
pulsory to wear protection goggles, gloves and headphones
(not provided).
! IMPORTANT! Make sure nobody is approaching the working
area while the tool is running.
Starting
1) Insert the charged battery in the drill
2) Position the rotation direction switch (pos.2) in one of the
two operating positions (not in the centre)
3) Firmly grasp the hand grip (pos.19) in your hand
4) To start press the button (pos.1).
The switch is a 'maintained action' switch so the electrical tool
will stay on when you keep the switch pressed.
Stopping
To stop the drill release the switch (pos.1).
