Special Safety Instructions - Metabo KHA 18 LTX BL 24 Quick Instrucciones De Manejo

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 misalign-
ment 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 acci-
dents 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.
2.5 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 desig-
nated 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 irri-
tation or burns.
2.6 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.

3. Special Safety Instructions

Wear ear protectors. Exposure to noise can cause
hearing loss.
Use the additional handle supplied with the
tool. Loss of control can cause personal injury.
Hold tool by insulated gripping surfaces when
performing an operation where the cutting
accessory may contact hidden wiring. If the
cutting accessory contacts a "live" wire, exposed
metal parts of the electrical tool may become "live"
and give the operator an electric shock.
Work only with the additional handle correctly
installed.
Always hold the machine with both hands using the
handles provided, stand securely and concentrate.
Always wear protective goggles, gloves, and sturdy
shoes when working with this tool.
Ensure that the spot where you wish to work is free
of power cables, gas lines or water pipes (e.g.
by using a metal detector).
Do not touch the rotating tool!
Secure the workpiece against slipping, e.g. with the
help of clamping devices.
Remove chips and similar material only when the
machine is at a standstill.
Caution when carrying out hard screwdriving
(driving of screws with either a metric or an imperial
thread into steel)! The head of the screw may be
ripped off or high restoring torques may occur on
the handle.
S-automatic safety clutch: If the tool jams or
catches, the power supply to the motor is restricted.
Due to the strong force which can arise, always hold
the machine with both hands using the handles
provided, stand securely and concentrate.
A damaged or cracked additional handle must be
replaced. Never operate a machine with a defective
additional handle.
LED light (17): do not observe the LED radiation
directly with optical instruments.

and comes into contact with your eyes, wash them
with clean water and seek medical attention imme-
diately.
If the machine is defective, remove the battery pack
from the machine.
